lyrics

[Verse]
I'm waking up at the bar
At the edge of the universe
And I'm just tryna get my story straight
They're telling me that I haven't seen the light for days

And I know it's cliche
But I know that we both like long walks on the beach and
I wouldn't mind turning back
Sooner than I'd like cos
Your legs are tired and
The tide is rising

[Chorus]
You prepare your press release
We live in the past tense
It's better than silence

Full of this cold certainty
I know it's just life but that don't mean that I like it
I know it's just life but that don't mean that I like it

[Verse]
I wanna fall through the floor
At the end of this corridor
And land feet first in a better world
Where it doesn't rain so much
And the traffic doesn't get stuck every time that I decide to go out

They say one day I might be ok to take another ride on this carousel
But I'm so terrified of finding out
That I'm the only who's coming down alone

[Chorus]
You prepare your press release
We live in the past tense
It's better than silence

Full of this cold certainty
I know it's just life but that don't mean that I like it

You prepare your press release
We live in the past tense
It's better than silence

Full of this cold certainty
I know it's just life but that don't mean that I like it

[Bridge]
And through the fire she says
Boy you must be as cold
As I am tired
But for tonight
We'll both say it was just the smoke caught in our eyes

And through the fire she says
Boy you must be as cold
As I am tired
But for tonight
We'll both say it was just the smoke caught in our eyes
