lyrics
(CT)
Could you tell me apart when you're checking back to see what you lost?
I need a big band now, drown out the earth's cracking down the middle
when you say I can't come with you.
Blow the horns in my ears. Send the whole brigade to tell us.
If it's the last thing I hear, I'll remember it as well as mother goose
running her mouth while I'm scraping my knees.
Calloused feet on warm ground as we crash into the lighthouse as the light went out.
And it's happening again, now. Fighting off the urge for last words.
I can't be replaced, so you must've wanted someone else anyway.
I caught you looking back. Not that I was looking - I was just checking to see where you're at.
(DRIPKISS)
I'm not the one who gets to see the very best of you.
I'm trying to forget you. Right now it's hard to vex you.
The nights are cold. I was told I would get so old.
Days are warm but the nights are cold.
You and me amount to nothing. Pray every day.
In the moment I'm scared that I will blow it.
I smoke atlantic oceans. Our last words were not spoken.
Told me you had a wild side. Pray nobody notices when the cars go by.
They can tell from our eyes and mild side - I never wanna say good night.
I'm not the one who gets to see the very best of you.
(CT)
Keep it holy. Saturday night, act like you don't even know me.
Come for the sights, leave 'cause of the company.
You leave so suddenly.
Reading your face by the bathroom light. There's space for you on the couch.
So come here and prove that you an't thought of me.
Your favorite cold sweat drenched anxiety when I can't be replaced.
Could you tell me apart when you're checking back to see what you lost?
I need a big band now, drown out the earth's cracking down the middle
when you say I can't come with you.
Blow the horns in my ears. Send the whole brigade to tell us.
If it's the last thing I hear, I'll remember it as well as mother goose
running her mouth while I'm scraping my knees.
Calloused feet on warm ground as we crash into the lighthouse as the light went out.
And it's happening again, now. Fighting off the urge for last words.
I can't be replaced, so you must've wanted someone else anyway.
I caught you looking back. Not that I was looking - I was just checking to see where you're at.

I'm not the one who gets to see the very best of you.
I'm trying to forget you. Right now it's hard to vex you.
The nights are cold. I was told I would get so old.

You and me amount to nothing. Pray every day.
