lyrics

Skin on a white mattress, a cigarette-scented dress
I’ve got words to say but not a single one does me any good
A tree like a broken arm, apologies lose their charm
Either way you plant it once and don’t come back until it’s grown

(you feel yourself/slipping away
concrete waves/the sound decays
the lie you tell/ yourself is true
in my dreams/ I’m chasing you)

Who in the hell do you think that you’re losing, been here all night and you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight
If you want someone better I know it’s confusing, lost and misguided you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight

A match in a pitch-black room, the call that you’re leaving soon
Rewrite history and burn the tapes so we won’t know what went wrong
Rainwater painted drapes, one hand on a fire escape
Where the whole world’s screaming jump but tonight you keep on holding tight

(you feel yourself/slipping away
concrete waves/the sound decays
the lie you tell/ yourself is true
in my dreams/ I’m chasing you)

Who in the hell do you think that you’re losing, been here all night and you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight
If you want someone better I know it’s confusing, lost and misguided you’re still not choosing where you, where you’re sleeping tonight

(The whole world’s screaming jump but tonight you keep on holding tight/
this isn’t real, why won’t you wake me, if you’re leaving won’t you take me home?)
