lyrics

i don't wanna feel this again
waiting around, i fall for a second
please don't leave me in the cold

i don't really know, but i'll try to remember
walking really slow, i'm gon try til december
watching paint dry on my hands
wasteland, i'm gonna keep growing if i can

i don't want to know
tell me all the things that i wrote down
when your heart feels cold
nothing else feels different

slowly turning purple
walking round in circles
as i try to find my place in line
with my face down
being playground into dust
wasteland, i'm gonna keep growing if i must

walking round in circles
come on, i'm ready to go

twisting to direction
trying to make connections
that i think that you'd want me to know
casting shadows, hoping they stick to the walls
something to hold onto when i fall
underneath the sunrise
you told me it's high tide
told me that you'd leave if you didn't go
hoping that you understand
the point in writing our names in the sand

some kind of synthesis i forgot
flowers gone off
the wreath fell off the truck
when I'm alone, i meant to try
then i forgot, but it came round
i don't want to tell you
i don't know, i don't need to
i don't know if I'm alright
give me a minute, we can go
i can go
we can go outside
the way i feel inside
i don't think i'm gonna go
thanks for driving home
