lyrics

Everything falls into place, just like it’s supposed to
Perfection is easily erased and fades back to the start
Thin walls and thin lies don’t do much to quiet your breathing
Keep writing me letters so I’ll have something to tear apart

Don’t say you’ve already forgotten the reason I called you
When I’m cold and alone and I want you here, you’re never home

Close enough isn’t close enough

Did you tell everyone that you thought you saw God looking back in the mirror
When you tore out your heart did it start to make things seem a little bit clearer
When the writings on my wrist put pieces together in your world
Will you blame it all on nerves

Impulses lead to temptation that’s where it all started
My hair stands on end as your fingers keep gripping my neck
Alone at first light expectations they seem so unsettling
My thoughts are the catalyst, jealousy spills down my throat

Everything you’ve ever wanted fell straight through the floorboards
When it’s all over we’ll build back the towers we had

Close enough isn’t close enough

Did you tell everyone that you thought you saw God looking back in the mirror
When you tore out your heart did it start to make things seem a little bit clearer
When the writings on my wrist put pieces together in your world
Will you blame it all on nerves
