Lyrics:
A window cracks open
Gust from outside
It’s the door which I closed
And always wondered why
Every sin written right on my face
Ex-lover, knowing gaze
Though reaction is estranged
And we know all too well
You want to do what’s right
Though you overthink the exchange
Defend yourself with lies
There he goes
Overthinking, each night
Just try to sit down beside me
Like you used to
Is that too much to ask?
Don’t distrust my love, I know the red has turned to rust
I just want you to relax
Words you could’ve said
Ones you might’ve thought
Drinking every weeknight
For fear that you might miss your shot
Yeah it’s summer now
And the air is getting wetter
I'm no stranger to my bad ideas
No, I could do better
Out shifting gears, or shifting blame
Where everything and nothing stays the same
Sit down beside me
Like you used to
Is that too much to ask?
Don’t distrust my love, I know the red has turned to rust
I just want you to relax
But insects and ivy creep up inside me
To the place where I laid these thoughts to rest
No sense calling back
I know the pinks now turned to black
I don’t believe I ever will relax
A window cracks open
Gust from outside
Don’t leave the door closed
Or you’ll always wonder why...
