lyrics

I woke up on the shores of relapsing
blinding sun and a long ride
I’ll pack up all the skills that I lack
Never did get the landing to stick

And i’ll look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road
I’ll be looking for you in the quiet of the night
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
(I’ll be) down to take you up on that offer now

All my friends dishing out the distractions
(like "just this once for nostalgia")
I’ll fend off all my watchful reactions
(I’ll never reveal you my tricks)

And i’ll look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road
I’ll be looking for you in the quiet of the night
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
(I’ll be)

Don’t know how feel it don’t know how be here
don’t know what you want before you throw me away

I see you’re above it it’s important to love it
bad enough that you gut me and you throw me away

How are you dealing do you think that you’ve beat it
Did you hit that glass ceiling when you threw me away

you know that you owe me it’s feels like you’re floating
in time you can grow and then you throw me away

Yeah this will be my last hurrah
this will be my last time
yeah i swear its true and i
won’t give in since last time
‘less you want me to and i
double crossed my
self but i’d stop for you

What in the world is going on
(I’ve pushed it so far from my mind)
Conflicted resolution
(Kicking the bottle when it’s empty)
we can act like nothings wrong
(it takes a match to light the lantern)
and that’s exactly when i

look down to the last time
that I lost all self control
never felt so sentimental
passing out on the side of road

I’ll be looking for
you in the quiet of the night at the end of my rope
(Looked down, alone all my life)
Now daisy’s asking you "just come and dance with me”
I’ll be down to take you up on that offer now
I’ll be so good won’t you agree
It feels so good to me yeah
I’ll be the one to set you free
I’ll be the best you’ve ever seen.
