Holy Smokes

Glued onto the ceiling
Trying to see a face
All I want to do
is tell you that I’m better
Better than just needling
The time and space
Well, both of them are
Chewing holes into my sweater
Looked too long at mercy
Like an enemy
By the time I came around
It was out of arm’s reach
Hard to face the problem
When it’s all you choose
Run a marathon to see
You’ve ended with the same shoes
Holy smokes
Do you ever run out on me
How did you know
I would be in the place I’d be
I keep falling down
I just keep falling down
Was married to religion
For a little while
Now I feel like an impostor
When I walk down the aisles
I can’t decide
If I believe or not
Didn't seem to fit the brand
At least I gave it a shot
I always thought that I was so good
At hiding
I used to hide in your chest
And now I’m hiding away
From you, mmm
I used to cry in your chest
Now I feel like you’re out of view
Holy smokes
Do you ever run out on me
How did you know
I would be in the place I’d be
I keep falling down
I just keep falling

I know I’m hard to read right now
Don’t let it deter you
I’m just on the fence I built last week
There's still much to work through
I can be dry
I’ve just been blindsided too many times
If I said I don’t mind, I would be lying
But that’s just the thing
I care too much
Oh
How do I tell you
I’m aching
Listening to Lennon
And wishing
You weren’t distant
I know I’m hard to read right now
I don’t have an answer
I'm told that time’s the remedy
Just wish it moved faster
I can be dry
I’ve just been blindsided too many times
If I said I don’t mind, I would be lying
But that’s just the thing
I care too much
Oh
How do I tell you
I’m aching
Listening to Lennon
And wishing
You weren’t distant
Not everything lays its head in a pillow of tragedy
But I’d be remiss to ignore the effect of your gravity
Close all the curtains
Shut out the moon
I’ll callously write off what you might’ve heard
And after all
I’ll leave the light off for good
