lyrics

I paid four hundred bucks to the city,
so you'll never speak my name.
If I ever see your face again,
well I'll probably just miss it.

It feels like every other week,
it's like I've wasted a month,
but I keep praying for the cold.
Man, this heat's got me bogged down and unwilling.
Just two more months and I'll be fine.

There are so many of me in this place.
This unsure point,
I'm all over the place.
I spent the longest day under clouds,
soaking wet,
wondering how,
this is the most excited I've been in a while.

When did the panic get so literal?
When did the shaking feel so real?
It feels like I'm slowing down,
or speeding up.
I wanna throw myself through windows.

I stood there staring at those faces.
I wanted to kill myself right then.
Man, why'd you embarrass me.
I'm such an idiot.
Didn't say a word the whole way home.

Why do I still look through old pictures?
Why do I still ask all these questions?
It's because I'm scared to think that the people I meet,
are nothing more than seconds.

There are so many of me in this place.
This unsure point,
I'm all over the place.
I spent the longest day under clouds,
soaking wet,
wondering how,
this is the most excited I've been in a while.

And I don't know why,
I keep falling back on all of these lies.
It gets worse no matter how hard I try.
I keep falling back.

And you don't know why,
you need substance to get through these nights.
You cut deeper to match your disguise.
I keep falling back.

I keep falling back.
