lyrics

You’re stuck in a past that was never yours
But the present is too sticky for your chords
So you hide on an island where it’s much nicer to breathe
You’re the queen and the king, you can be anything

(Chorus)
I should’ve warned you
Remind me next time
I’ll walk away before the rhyme

My feet are too small for my height
I take big steps in awkward times
But I can’t change my range
And I can’t range my change
All I want to know is that you’re okay
‘Cause that makes my day
Even if I know it’s not the other way

(chorus)

The sea is slowly floating away
And now I’ve become a peninsula
But the bridge will soon burn again
I’m only a temporary friend, a temporary trend

(chorus)

My ears are plugged, my eyes are booked
But I miss your hugs and I miss your looks
Though I could never say that to your face
‘Cause your silent treatment told me you wanted space…
