I'm not suicidal
I just can't get out of bed
I drift into a deep fog

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

I only wanted what everyone wanted
Since bras started burning up ribs in the sixties

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Bubble gumball martini
Is nothing like dépanneur red wine
Travel through time
Who were you after you were mine?

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

All we do is talk, sit, switch screens
As the homeland plans enemies

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Take something for the pain
Not something to conceal it
More like a magnification mirror full-size
Inner echo reflecting solace revived

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Send you my love on a wire
Lift you up every time
Everyone pulls away
From you

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Forever and ever
A torch in search of a flame
To be good, get better
I change by staying the same

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

I'll be up too late
Call me when you get better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
Though my vision is straining

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

We were too wasted to close the window
Friends and family looking into my only hiding place
The rhythm of a stranger's skin

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Why not just let go?

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

True beautiful one, what have you gone and done?
I can see all your moves are new
Tell me, what did that salesman do to you?

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

It's a one-room city here
The wall to wall to wall to wall
Goes street to street to street

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

How were they to know, the river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end?
Enemies of the ocean

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

I fought the war but the war won

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

My hands will shake, my eyes will burn
My throat will ache, watching you turn
From me toward your friends
What I thought it was, it isn't now

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

When I am surrounded
Torture me with all I've wanted

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Starting over won't be easy
Damage be damned
Please say you love me just as I am

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

This is not the way I wanted to make you feel

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me

[metric lyrics bot @metriclyricsbot]

Love is hell, hell is love
Hell is asking to be loved
