You were there, I was breathing hot smoke in the cold air.
All around us the drums came beating and the whole world fell sober.
So drink it up, and crash on down, you ran straight for higher ground.
I sigh, yeah.
Yesterday how it feels so far away, and I know, I know it’s your gap year so go on darling get away from here.
You were gone, I was bleeding straight onto the pavement.
All around me the flock was fleeting but both my wings were broken.
So breathe it in and cough it out, swear you could’ve heard me shout.
I tried, yeah.
Yesterday how it feels so far away, and I know, I know it’s your gap year so go on darling get away from here.
And oh my god I was the one you just left abroad and I’ve been, I’ve been so spaced out. I’ll be here with the shame no doubt.
I sigh, swear you could’ve heard me shout
I tried, when you ran straight for higher ground.
I lied, yeah.

Now she calls me and I never call her back.
I guess I’m just so sick of all these heart attacks.
Well, we don’t have to be everybody else darling just treat me like shit cause love isn’t it.
And I wish you didn’t hold me cos I’m on the crumbs and I’m starving now gotta get out somehow.
I’m not hungry for food I’m just hungry for three words from you.
Girl I love it when we spend some time alone and you open up to me but it’s only when you’re drunk.
And I cannot be around you when you're fooling around yeah out on the town.
How can I be okay when I only see you this way?
I love you, so you stab me in the back.
And baby you’re so cool well I see it’s just an act.
Well, we don’t have to be everybody else darling just treat me like shit cause love isn’t it.

Babe I like your new hair cut I need to do something with my look.
My glasses broke the other day so I need a new frame, they don’t make them the same, I was never the chosen one anyway.
Well I’ve got a subscription I could bus over to your house
Settle down, put it on, I can’t help but feel this character’s making a mockery of me. It’s another indie arthouse movie.
Do you remember when, in the end they said “I will love you, till death do us part” it was the same scene from the start.
It’s pretty clever that way but thats just what you pay for, you pay for, and I cannot give you more.
But why waste my money when my life is like a movie?
Darling that shit’s alright, I think I’m real tonight.
Cause I felt your touch, now I have seen enough of this film the script’s shit and I’m the damn fool who wrote it.
I see future with you my love is true, I told you Ramona.
What a beautiful day to be indoors I need to do something with my life.
Go outside, get a job, stop spending all my money, god I worry about my mental health. It’s been a while since I’ve taken some time for myself.
I think I’m doing better now you told me we could bus over to your house. And I remember the look on your face when it fell into place I think I wrote a song about this, when I took a shot and missed.
Do you remember in the end I sung “I will love you till death do us part” they were the same chords from the start.
Not very clever that but thats just what you love me for, you love me for and I can give so much more.
But why write these songs when nobody’s gonna pay me?
Darling that shit’s alright, cause you are here tonight.
And I felt your touch, cause you have heard enough of my songs they bore you but please know they're all true.
I see future with you I know you knew, I told you Ramona.

Well I guess I thought I was Adam in our own garden but now I’m the snake. And everything I once thought I was is now clear because
I see that it’s fake.
And I feel like a tinderbox about to make this hill go off up in flames
cause I still feel,
the same.
Well maybe I should grow some hair under my nose, put on some second hand clothes and act like them all. And now I know muscle don’t make a man nor does it give him a chance of tearing down her wall.
And I feel like a tinderbox about to make this hill go off up in flames cause I still feel,
the pain.
Well now that we’ve gone around the sun again I hope we can ignore the pain and all the dumb things. And if I’m a phoenix rising from the ashes I guess I don’t know how to use my wings.
Because I feel like a tinderbox about to make this hill go off up in flames cause I still feel,
like a drought that has never stopped and you are my empty cup.
Over and over and over again until I feel,
something strange.
