lyrics

desolate streets
we hide beneath the sheets like children
all that we knew
a slow undo of you and all your dreams

and the neighbors kick a ball into the plastic bottles
I’ve never heard them play this way before when it knocks, it rattles

maybe I should of stayed
drinking, laughing away
I’m crippled with fear but this isn’t about me
their gonna make fun of us, we take the day in front of us
I just want you here but this isn’t about me
it never was

and the neighbors kick a ball into the plastic bottles
I’ve never heard them play this way before when it knocks, it rattles

maybe I should of stayed
drinking, laughing away
I’m crippled with fear but this isn’t about me
their gonna make fun of us, we take the day in front of us
I just want you here but this isn’t about me
it never was
