lyrics

We were
Or should I say we had been
You’re pointing out the wrong tense
Like it really makes a difference
You know good and well what
I meant
Throwing out some arguments
A fault that you can charge me with
Just like the past was perfect

Think back
It’s the same trap
Listen out for something I can use
And some time to get my story straight
You’re a steel trap
And I’m shrink wrap
So sink your teeth inside of me
And I’ll feed you
You’ll be full enough for days
But I’ll be wasted

I look
I’m always looking backwards
In search of some laid trackers
Tripping over roots and slackers
Finding you just can’t go
Back there
Find comfort in my fondness
Henpecked, yes, but pecked nonetheless
A dauntless, locked accomplice

It’s bogus
When we blow it
Just unpack to put it all way
Maybe next time we’ll get straight to the point
That I’m a best guess
And you’re flawless
I lay it all right at your feet
There’s no fight left, both of us lay wasted

I never thought I’d be the one to say
You were right
You were right from the start
Never made a promise I could keep
In my life
So don’t take this to heart
