I swear to you
We’re nothing more than friends
I’m praying to
God that she won’t make me

Make believe that I don’t 
need you so you Can make 
believe that you don’t need me 
too

I’m pretending that I don’t
Know you for her so that
She can pretend she has 
you

I’ll 
Remember the
Sound of (warmth of)
Your fist in my (ear on my) ribcage

I will Make us a 
hilltop effigy with the (statue of you when you)
splinters of my bones in it (fell asleep to my heartbeat)

I’ll look
For signs in the film of dust
That settled over us

at arms length

I dare you to
play naive again
Ive nothing left
so there’s nothing to risk

At the fork In the road I looked 
Both ways and chose
And you couldn’t make up your
Mind

Make me believe you don’t 
love me no more While she 
makes you believe that she
tried
im sure that she tried

I’ll 
Remember the
Sound of (warmth of)
Your fist in my (ear on my) ribcage

I will Make us a 
hilltop effigy with the (statue of you when you)
splinters of my bones in my eye (fell asleep to my heartbeat)

I’ll look
For signs in the film of dust
That settled over us

at arms length

Frozen in time at arms length
Somewhere in the shadow of age
Can’t shake off this childlike daze
But this isn’t a movie there’s no happy ending

I’ll 
Remember the
Sound of (warmth of)
Your fist in my (ear on my) ribcage

I will Make us a 
hilltop effigy with the (statue of you when you)
splinters of my bones in it (fell asleep to my heartbeat)

I’ll look
For signs in the film of dust
That settled over us

At arms length

I swear to you
We’re nothing more than friends
