lyrics

I can't keep myself distracted long enough
to make this worth
just a second of your time
That time you won't get back
Just a whisper, something great
something you can't stand to pass on, but maybe one cheap
trick will make you fall, get you hooked
No, I'm an honest guy
Left with hardly a choice, left with hardly a
chance to make this right

Your presence like
oxygen tanks, keeping me sane
I can't refrain from breaking out, calling your name
This lingering atmosphere
Shouldn't be mad at her
Sedated with fears for years
Feels like I'm outta here
A break for thoughts, I can't unwind
Her problems imprinted on the back of my mind
I can't find the time
Making up, making out, making a fight
But I tried, just a little
A little too much
You're way too familiar
Try a bit less
Come on, I'm not feeling it
Just some stress, impressed with the way you confess to me
Why can't I be
happy with the way that you are?
Not happily growing apart
But every time we try to restart
it comes back down to stubborn hearts

If this isn't working let's give up on trying
and maybe someday we'll look back on our fighting
and see that the pain and the scars were all worth it
We'll push pride aside and we'll hold onto something
that satisfies deeper than all our obsessions
Our guilty mistakes are all thrown from our heads
and everything easily falls into line
And we'll never question why back then was never the time

That time's not now
It's so hard to figure out
when our lives are falling down
It's so hard to figure out
So why keep trying now?
(I'm falling out, I'm falling down, down, down)
(Can't figure out, where I am)
