lyrics

I held my tongue,
on the joyride and they all laughed
with arms out wide oh no.

I held his hand,
but felt alone, don't want to be here
or at home, oh no.

Darling don't tempt me,
I'm miles deep, staring at a blank screen,
chasing an ideal dream and he's fighting for things
that don't exist and I'm trying not to think
oh all the things that I missed
and I tried to figure it out.
But they all talk so quick
and they all stare so loud.

And the elephant in my room
remembers, how I used to go and lose
my temper.
Over little changes and all the faces
you'd make when you're tryna be smart.

So I will play my part.

I spent too long
On what she said
Let myself fall back in a sofa bed

I paid my debts with these old sights
the mirrors sick of looking at my eyes.

Darling don’t tempt me,
I'm miles deep.
Staring at a blank screen.
Chasing an ideal dream
And he's fighting for things that don’t exist
And I'm trying not to think of all the things that I missed.

And I’m always trying to be cool.
But I just want to tell you the truth.
And I hope we both pull through
cause there's not much else that I can do.

And the elephant in my room
Remembers, how I used to go and lose my temper
Over little changes and all the faces you make when your trying sound smart
So I will play my part.

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin
