lyrics

Wanted nothing but to hear it sing so I
Turned the dial til our bodies were ringing
Now I’m sitting on the side of the shoulder
Thinking if she’s thinking of me
Face down on the kitchen floor spent a
Year drunk as the day I was born
I wanna burn it down and start over
It comes easier now that I’m older

Maybe we let it get too far gone
Gave too much, resisted too long
Sleeping it off, maybe thats enough

Wanted nothing and nothings free, I think
You and I got the same disease
You were sitting at the top of the stairwell
I was fumbling around for my keys Funny how it only lasts for a minute, but it
matters more than all that other shit
I will meet you somewhere after its over
It comes easier now that I’m older

Maybe we let it get too far gone
Gave too much, resisted too long
Sleeping it off, maybe thats enough
Maybe its different, Maybe thats good
Took too much, maybe I’m hooked
Taking it off, maybe I misunderstood

Maybe it’s different
Maybe that’s good
Or maybe not

We met at a party in Madison. People told us we looked like a band, so we started one a few days later.
