Lyrics

All alone at my backdoor, baby

Thinking things like I could get out

If I wasn’t mistaken, I bet

It’s some shit that I did without

All alone and I’m tired of waiting

Better shit or get off the pot

This is something that keeps me breathing

Something like I could get out

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

La-de-da-de-da what’s my reason

I’m not sitting here justified

I’m not taking out all my feeling

To feed my own dirty mind

On and on and I’m tired of waiting

Better shit or get off the pot

This is something that keeps me breathing

Something like I could get out

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

Stay with me now, where’d you go to

I see the winds have changed direction

What I never had is my reflection

Gone before the dawn, dressed up in moonlight

Wish you were here but hey it’s alright

Until I realize that you’re telling lies

You won’t stop to ask me why

We sigh with no end in sight

Hey it’s alright, hey it’s alright

Red flags are blowing every morning

Some people say there’s always a warning

As soon as we both believe our own eyes

Two minutes too late, but hey it’s alright

Until I realize that you’re telling lies

You won’t stop to ask me why

We sigh with no end in sight

Hey it’s alright, hey it’s alright

Until I realize that you’re telling lies

We sigh with no end in sight

Hey it’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright

I’ve been thinking to myself, I’ve been thinking all my life

When did I get like this

Even when I’m all alone, even when you’re by my side

Who am I

Who am I

I was such a happy child

Satisfied

Everybody by my side

And the world was ten-foot-small

Simplified

That I may be wrong

And I won’t come on strong

Ain’t one of the lucky ones

I know I won’t take me under

I won’t take me underground

I know I won’t take me under

I will stay away until you let it out

'Till all these stupid games they play can peter out

I might have said too much, I've fucking had it now

Don't really care if I'm the asshole

Telling truth is worth the hassle but I'm afraid

What should I say

How can we break it down

Why don't we fade into the background

Say I don't understand, I bet you got a point

It's something delicate to handle, so make a choice

You say there's no perfect time, I wish there was

And we could settle down in front of everyone

Like it was nothing but it's not nothing

And what should I say

How can we break it down

Why don't we fade into the background again

And why do I care

I thought we'd be past it now

I just wanna fade into the background

Background, into the background

Background, into the background

Why do I care

I thought I'd be past it

What should I say

How can we break it down

Why don't we fade into the background

And why do I care

I thought we'd be past it now

I just wanna fade into the background

And why do I care

I thought we'd be past it now

I just wanna fade into the background

Got nowhere to go, only room for each other

And there’s no way out

Looking in my eyes

Feeling gone, am I still there

When did it start taking a part of me, When did it start

Who am I now, am I who I’m supposed to be

Am I fooling myself

I try to make it burn

And all day long I’m left wanting one of these to burst

Out of touch

Laughing in the dark

The one last time I felt so real

When did it start taking a part of me, When did it start

And who am I now, am I who I’m supposed to be

Am I fooling myself

When did it start, taking a part of me, When did it start

And who am I now, am I who I’m supposed to be

Am I fooling myself

And where am I now

I’m breaking a part of me and I’m fooling myself

And who am I now

I’m not who I’m supposed to be

I’m fooling myself

Fell in love with honesty

Curse my name as you’re censoring

You know, can’t have it both the ways

And maybe I expect too much

A symbol that I think a lot of what it means to live life openly

Struggle with my principles

But can’t support the people

Mothers, fathers, those who look the other way

Standing right in front of you

Shouldn’t be so big a deal

Except we drag it out to test the one who caves

Unsure if I’ll outlive the ones

We wait to die to live our lives

It’s not a way to spend our merry days

Unsure if I can stick around

Wait to hear that foreign sound of truth instead of silence on the airwaves

Wanna tell you something, don’t look away

Find it hard to know what words I should say

I only know it’s overtime to playing this part I cannot play

Wait, I need you more than ever, that I’m afraid

Things that don’t make sense, not even to me

I just want you to see what keeps me falling behind entirely

And I really can’t explain it

And I really can’t ignore it

I think I’m falling behind

Falling

Babe, it’s been some time I’ve buried this underground

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go face

it’s eating at my soul

I got to leave it behind, entirely

Say, I’m turning up my voice, un-eager to please

Finished my appeasing, now this is for me

Still I get a funny feeling of guilt that’s deep in my mind

In spite of me

And I really can’t explain it

And I really can’t ignore it, and I’m falling behind

No I really can’t explain it, I can’t fake it anymore

And I really can’t ignore it, I think I’m falling behind

Falling

Falling behind, falling behind, falling behind, I think I’m falling

Look how bright the stars

Shine right into your eyes

Though the seasons change it still remains when I kiss you the first time

It’s a lover’s ache, like a warm embrace

I knew it when we met

Won’t ever fade away, nothing can take the place of you

I knew it when we met, knew it when we met

I knew it when we met

In all my life I never knew I’d feel it quite like this

It’s the evidence of something more substantial than just bliss

Just want to hold you babe, a little hazel for a day

And maybe we could sleep, and maybe we’d just dream our dreams

I knew it when we met, knew it when we met

I knew it when we met

Sometimes I feel crazy, think that I’ve gone and lost my mind

Can’t tell you the one thing that takes the noise to recognize

I knew it when we met

I knew it when we met

knew it when we met

knew it when we met

We play these games to keep us going on

A flickered light

The beauty of the things that slow us down

I didn't know just why I took so long

Let it out

Enjoy the way that this unfold is on

Keep it underground

My beating heart, my beating heart

Push it underground

My beating heart

Don’t play these games

I wanna call you lover

Wide awake

Let me call you lover

If I remain, if ever I recover

Anything to keep you in my view

Acted good

It was a way to keep me close to you

Keep it underground

My beating heart, my beating heart

Push it underground

My beating heart

Don’t play these games

I wanna call you lover

Wide awake

Let me call you lover

If I remain, if ever I recover

Don’t play these games

I wanna call you lover

Wide awake

Let me call you lover

If I remain, if ever I recover

Sometimes I feel crazy

Sometimes I feel crazy

Some people got a thing

I let mine disintegrate

What have I got to say? Slowly slipping away

I’ve seen through many things

Not sure what I believe

Just know I’ve got to be whatever is rising inside of me

Sometimes I feel crazy think that I’ve gone and lost my mind

The one thing that takes the noise to recognize

One thing in shadows, understands just what is real

Remembers the way my spirit used to feel

Most nights I sit alone replaying all I’ve done

Where did my gumption go? Try her again on the telephone

Sometimes I feel crazy think that I’ve gone and lost my mind

The one thing that takes the noise to recognize

One thing in shadows, understands just what is real

Remembers the way my spirit used to feel

Wake up my heart

Wake up my heart

Wake up my, wake up my

So what if I told you I was afraid to move on

Respecting is one thing but I’m a slave to your throne

I believed that there was something and I was glad to take you home

Then she comes in walking and I’m the one who sleeps alone

But sometimes we oughta know it’s done

Now this time about last year ‘round this February cold

I pretend I don’t know you, trying hard to save my soul

So the day begins that I would like to say hello

Regret is not an answer but a question when we’re old

But sometimes we oughta know it’s done

Yeah I said and sometimes we oughta know that it’s done

It’s been months since I’ve seen you and I forgot who I was

Now tonight but on this year won’t be afraid to move on
