Lyrics:
We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch? 

We got all this rage kept contained
Gotta let it out
But you’re thinking ‘bout your face
How to save it
It won’t work no more 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

Give up
Hold up
We’re waiting… 
There’s a lot that you won’t understand
And you’re lucky ask 

Don’t act surprised,
We’ve always been here
Working twice as hard
For half as much
Still, I’m the lucky one
it’s all in my head
You can’t say nothing no more
It’s all the same

If you don’t know by now, by now 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 
Why you hanging off us like a swing? 

We’ve all been on the other side,
Trying to get in, so
Why you turning on us like a switch?
Why you turning on us like a switch?

This Time

Waiting til they call your station
Romanticise the small decision
I’d be there in two minutes walking

Cracks let in a light two seconds
A stranger wears your walk and fragrance
Then I overheard a southern accent

Damian calls with their whereabouts
A park somewhere far out of town
I doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
 
Everything I see is clouded
With your views and prejudice about it
I guess we covered all that there is

Damian calls me with their whereabouts
He’s been on to me for hours now
Doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own

You know how I could go about
Every place and every fucker I loath
 
I wonder how your day turned out
Mine just turned one hundred years old

"This song is about waking up and sneaking out the house to get some air and reset your state of mind. Kind of like giving your body an audience and making yourself feel good."

Lyrics:
I was stolen by the way you say my name
Watched all my problems fade away
Away, come back here another day
Away, come back here another day
Away, through these gray blue skies
 
It’s been a long time I don’t want to call and tell you why
Why my life is upside down and I really don’t got no time
You say “where she at right now?” I can’t tell you all the time
Even if I could right now, I can’t scrap no reasons why
 
Watched all my problems fade away
Away, come back here another day
Away, watched all my problems fade away
Away, through these gray blue skies
 
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you why, why why
 
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you why, why why
I can’t tell you
 
I was stolen by the way you say my name
Watched all my problems fade away
Away, come back here another day
Away, come back here another day
