lyrics

Wait, before what you say to me gives you a way to me.
Delay, ignore, too readily, unafraid of me.

And you know
something failed with our connection,
an incomplete collection,
a fear of my rejection.
And you know
you've no room for my affection,
'cause I'm no good with your directions.

And what if I
didn't need to feel reduction
when somebody is taken?
And what if I
can't have the upper hand when nothing
inside of me is vacant?
What is our relation?

I didn't mean to draw this out,
but I am full of doubt,
glasses thrown about
no water's getting in.
Think of me a boy without.
Though I am much too proud,
you need to lead me out,
I'm drunk enough to swim.

And you know
something failed with our connection,
an incomplete collection,
a fear of my rejection.
And you know
you've no room for my affection,
'cause I'm no good with your directions.

And what if I
didn't need to feel reduction
when somebody is taken?
And what if I
can't have the upper hand when nothing
inside of me is vacant?
What is our relation?

And I am hoping that we arrive alive.
And I have circled the reasons why,
no more wasting your time.
