lyrics

'The door was locked tight
But through the cracks, the faintest hint of daylight
Or maybe the flood coming to pull me out of this
Drought of affection

I'd forgotten what it felt like, the last time
Someone said those words to me
Words so kind, that I felt worse for never taking chances
It's nothing new, except to you, but I live for those fleeting glances

And second guessing, that leaves me scared to move
But all the while, I know exactly what to say to you
It's staring us in the face, I know we'll never change
So what hope do we have?

Our nights feel so long
Our days take too long to come
Trying to smash those preconceptions
Trying to live solely on good intentions

And second guessing that leaves me scared to move
But all the while, I know exactly what to say to you
It's staring us in the face, I know we'll never change
So what hope do we have?

I could have proved my worth to you
This flood will run us through

This could be a mistake, but it's one I'll gladly make

No time to think about tomorrow, I've barely got time for today
Last nights and pointless fights seem so far away
You can surround yourself with the best firends you've ever known
Or you can accept being alone'
