lyrics

lyrics:

There's something different between us
A quiet spark in the eyes
It's something in the joke you made
After giving up on the words you can't find

It started late last December
When you pulled me into that room
I read the book, I knew the end but
I was finally getting to you

And now I
Can't keep concealing losing feeling when you look at me
And you say you think about us
But you're talking leaving, so revealing that suddenly
This is all too much

Don't spend the night
Cause you're lonely
Then change your mind
Cause you're bored
You know that we've got time
Don't wanna be who you're running to
Just cause you need someone new

And now it's nights in the back booth
And getting high on your couch
I play it cool and try to keep up with you until
One of us passes out

Wake up stoned and hungover
There's something I gotta say
So give me the right words and a bit of nerve
And something to keep my head on straight

Just cause I
Can't keep concealing losing feeling when you look at me
And you say you think about us
But every time you see him you're revealing that suddenly
This is all too much

Don't spend the night
Cause you're lonely
Then change your mind
Cause you're bored
You know that we've got time
Don't wanna be who you're running to
Just cause you need someone new

[Backgrounds]:

What about?
What about you and I?
What about?
What about the last five years?

[Verse]:

Well I'm sick of getting drunk in our city alone
And of all the jokes I can't tell you now
Thinkin I could fix it if I picked up the phone
And finally I figured it out

So go and waste tonight
Cause you're lonely
Then change your mind
Blame your mood
I guess you were right
You played a game you knew I'd lose
Just to get to someone new

And you can say that it's nothing to do with me
It's just the way that you needed things to be
Not gonna be who you're running to
Just cause you need someone new
