about

A song about difficult conversations.

lyrics

One guess
What’s your weakness?
Connecting the pieces
Bright eyed
With this chaos running through your veins

Two times
Dodged the answer
Turned out
Quite the dancer
Weaving
In between the words I threw away

And watch them burst
Like fireworks
Wasted in the day
And all because
My choice of words
Said something I didn’t say

Branded
Your position
Heartfelt
Social condition
Not bad
But I’d have it any other way

Day and night
It’s not the same as being wrong, right?
There are surely greys but
Sometimes
Certainty is easy
And something’s are never okay

As my words disperse
Like a flock of birds
Way over your head
And all because
My choice of words
Said something I never said

Like they always do
Like they always do
Like they always do
Come running for cover when it all falls down
Like they always do
Like they always do
Like they always do
Come running for cover when it all falls

Down time
Clarity’s a gold mine
Short reprieve
You’re too kind
Before we’re back to firing in the dark

That armour
Looks expensive
Charmed or
Just defensive
Guard down
Can’t you see I’m pouring out my heart?

But what I say
Just floats away
Like smoke into the night
And as they fell
Each word rebelled
And told you you weren’t right

Like they always do
Like they always do
Like they always do
Come running for cover when it all falls down
Like they always do
Like they always do
Like they always do
