Lyrics
I’m not ready to leave
Keep me steady as I grieve
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on over to pretend
Sleepy sober, my best friend
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
(x4)
I could kiss the dust from your eyes
Hold me like you don’t care
I’ve got chapped lips from the sunrise
‘Cause feeling things just ain’t fair
I could kiss the dust from your eyes
Hold me like you don’t care
I’ve got chapped lips from the sunrise
‘Cause feeling things just ain’t fair
[Repeat Chorus]
We cried and cried
Wipe my face and synchronize
We laugh ’til we fall
And we fall in our eyes
[Chorus]
In our eyes
(x3)
All of the grit and the shit
Stuck in cuts, stung like salt
City lights put up fights
And we yell it’s not your fault
[Chorus]
It’s not your fault
Fault
It’s not your fault
[Repeat Chorus]
And I almost died in your arms
(x4)
I want to see
You in my life
I want to see
You in the light
I can see your eyes
(x3)
And it goes around, and around, and around
(x2)
I fall asleep to your eyes
My skin soaked in red, now so wise
I’m old, tough, worn in the sun
Drenched in the heat, what have I done?
[Chorus]
Couldn’t you wait until I was over?
We couldn’t wait for when we meet
I know I won’t find any other
Until I’m floating off my feet
[Repeat Chorus]
It was always colder than I could remember
The scrapes upon your thighs they would sink much deeper
Why could (hold) the (pavement) down until I can’t see straight
Washed up like the sewage, keep me elevated
[Chorus]
I tried to wash you away
But you wouldn’t come out
You’re a stain in my brain once again
And you won’t come out
I’m constantly in a state between worlds
With my eyes half shut and my body in a swirl
It’s easy to get lost within it, get lost in the park
To make yourself go blind in the dark
[Repeat Chorus]
