Lyrics
I didn't step foot in your car from out in the cold.
I dove head first towards the deepest dead end.
In your heart thats built like a house
Where theres nobody home.
A heartbeat in a bed.
The kind of love that lives in the same place where you rest your head.
Overreacting while supplies last.
Dont blink. Think fast.
Curled up on the couch like you're all grown up
Claim you gotta figure out what your lifes not about.
Just wasting the days wasting away.
I never needed a reason to have to ask you for shit.
Feels like I'm committing treason every time I gotta beg for your love just to get my fix.
These shakes dont subside.
A different kind of unhealthy appetite.
Craving just a piece of your presence.
Fumbling for your shadow in the night.
I wont do this the rest if my life.
Every time we reached the next stepping stone
You kept moving forward while I felt alone
I know that you've already watched this play out.
You'll be kind. I'll rewind my love and leave without a sound
Pretend you never saw my face.
Let your memories of me flash and face.
I set the bar this high for a reason.
Truth is I never thought you'd reach it.
I never needed a reason to have to ask you for shit.
Feels like I'm committing treason every time I gotta beg for your love just to get my fix.
These shakes dont subside.
A different kind of unhealthy appetite.
Craving just a piece of your presence.
Fumbling for your shadow in the night.
I wont do this the rest if my life.
