lyrics

time pulls us apart so please
have a little heart for these single-celled organisms
patching up the past years schisms
it was all you could do not to cry
when you heard it was not goodbye
you heard it was not goodbye

you have a funny way of slipping
into anterior positions
into things that feel so hopeless
into things you’ve got to cope with soon
or else you're mine to fight
i knew your song was mine to write
i never got the timing right
i never got the timing right

it’s always up to me to send you
back to where we both began
you play along but can’t pretend forever
you are slowly bending...

i always hope someone will call
you're always lonely after all
you're always on your own at home
always only looking at your phone
i wish you’d reach out to me
remind me how it used to be
remind me there are things worth fighting for
and there are words worth writing down
they're no good in your head
where they’re never heard or read aloud
i'm frickin sick of this
handicaps and benefits

you have a funny way of slipping
into anterior position
into things that feel so hopeless
into things you’ve got to cope with soon
i wish you’d reach out to me
remind me how we used to be
remind me there are things worth fighting for
and there are words worth writing down
they're no good in your head
where they’re never heard or read aloud
i'm frickin sick of this
