lyrics:
crash the car
push to start
walk on the shoulder cause nobody came out
miss the mark
fall apart
you don’t have to lie when i'm fucking up this hard

watching through rose tinted glasses
everyone’s leaving from the room
lighting the house up in flashes
without a chance to see it bloom

need a change
rearrange
stuck in the middle of discourse and action
need a break
stay awake
talking to you feels like splitting an atom

watching through rose tinted glasses
everyone’s leaving from the room
lighting the house up in flashes
without a chance to see it bloom

push to start

lyrics:
such a slow burn
from the day i met you
waited too long
in the mirror looking at myself
went alone again
you slept in late

i will always be there when you’re knocking at my door
it’s hard to shake the feeling that we’ve been right here before
if all i am is what i give and what i bring to you
call me when you need something
cause that’s all i'm good for

spent another day
giving you all my time
tell me what you need
and i will provide
blatant disregard
plastic apologies

i will always be there when you’re knocking at my door
it’s hard to shake the feeling that we’ve been right here before
if all i am is what i give and what i bring to you
call me when you need something

i ran till i turned red
silently shaking the ground
i heard the shit you said
without you making a sound
you stayed inside your bed
to keep from coming around
i gave my best to you
and you left that too

i will always be there when you’re knocking at my door
it’s hard to shake the feeling that we’ve been right here before
if all i am is what i give and what i bring to you
call me when you need something
call me when you need something
call me when you need something
cause that’s all i'm good for
