i took one drag from your cigarette
anything i could get to write just one
song to send you swooning in standard tuning
i come undone
no tact no presence
for at my essence
i sing verse after chorus
build a nest for us
i don't want it any other way
after five, ten years of waiting
i'd still raise your babies
my whole like wouldn't be a waste
playing this here waiting game
caught you in the middle
tryna talk to your fiddle
and it took no time at all to send you crooning in standard tuning
son of a gun, boy you keep me honest like gin and tonic
i sing verse after chorus
save the best for us
why don't you want it any other way
after five, ten years of waiting
you're still here for a sign
no life should go to waste
playing this here waiting game

we're given metal forks and plastic knives
you can stuff your face but you can't fight
it ruins my day when i take more than i should
it ain't right but damn it feels good
i still believe in everything i read on big bright screens
i don't make the ultimatums babe
i can't speak but i can't quite walk away
i still believe in everything i read, so read through me
increasingly complicated age
oh it feels good

my silence is your death
my voice is your silence
then it's death again
there is more than one way to starve

my energy is running low
plug me in, set and forget
light coming through the trees becomes piano keys
straight on through sunset
my knowledge reaches its extent
when we climb up the stairs, tobacco waste
sun struggling through cloud
i just don't get that loud
save for the chase
losses still burn bright
while my coat just falls apart
one less feather, but nothing leaves my heart
in a matter of days, shed my skin now i'm hollow
it's hard to say somehow easy to swallow
now every single downtown feels like american psycho
in manner of speaking it gets ever easier
in my bed with my head on the speaker
since every time I'm downtown
I feel myself getting meaner
losses still burn bright
my jawbone just stays locked
one less meal but nothing leaves my heart
it takes some time
some together
some apart
