Verse 1
Em
D
hallway for way way too long
I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss
I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped
Go back to sleep, let me drive,
let me think, let me figure it out
How to get us back to the place where
we were when we first went out
Verse 2
the time we left
I'll tell you about it some time,
the time we left
Verse 3
Em
D
I don't know what we should do
Became a father when I was still a son,
she brings it out in you
See you at the end of the party
A
D
with your wild white eyes
Filling up the teacup with gin in your
secret postcard life
Verse 4
the time we left
I'll tell you about it some time,
the time we left
I'll tell you about it some time,
the time we left
I'll tell you about it some time,
Verse 5
D
A
We leave our saviors wrapped around
Or at the ends of threads that hold
their bodies to the ground
And then the men who look a little
like they felt like me
Offered them some bottled water,
then they cut them down
I came back to see if you were here, but
everything was different
Your voice was low, you blended in,
I could barely hear you speak
You were always my last second
bright spot in the distance
Thought that you were something
good that I would always keep
Verse 6
beast, you as well beast
I'll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast,
you as well beast
I'll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast,
you as well beast
I'll still destroy you some day,
Outro 1
