lyrics

Two days ago you threw yourself into a fit
You dug yourself into a pit x2
Last night I dreamt I saw your face ignite in crimson flame
But now I know you're not to blame; things don't have to be the same

I get so nervous about the future, I don't know if I will still be close to you
And yeah I guess it's true, I know it makes you nervous too
I'm sorry that I can't keep myself together, when I start disintegrating
you're the one who gets hurt the most
And I can't keep on getting too close

Last year I excavated parts of my own head
And I found things I thought were dead x2 oh god
I used to see myself as different from the others
But this floating feeling doesn't feel so good after a while
If I could stop the anchor spinning round my body
Like a compass gone berserk it doesn't work, no, nothing works; Nooooooo
I have a bed of rotten earth that gives me stable ground
But I've stayed there far too long, and all I've got to show are broken songs

I get so nervous about the future, I don't know if I can still be close to you
And yeah I know it's true, I know it makes you nervous too
I'm sorry that I can't keep myself together, when I start disintegrating
‘cause you're the one who gets hurt the most
And I can't keep on getting too close
