Oceansize
Comfort driving, over burdened
Shes still striving to hold to the weather
(Old heaven) under pressures
Come pull to the womb
Foot to the floor
In all of my memories you were always running away
so cold and proud
so unashamed
you were always running away
Just inches from drip (freezing?)
Dont you worry
I dont have it in me
To ever leave you
Save this, and swallow it down whole
Stop this headache, mumble in a chalk line
You're always saying "Save me, I'm a danger to myself"
And who's driving?
And all through this you deserve better
Drinking, becoming someone else
Someone who's soul will come to naught and vanish
Though I'm trying,
I can't save you, you're a danger to yourself
Like you care
You just wish for an exit
Perfectionist, you falter
(Weve got?) no mind to alter
Get up (x2)
Just get up
Ill make it work
Like you care
You just wish for an exit
Perfectionist, you falter
(Ive got) no mind to alter
Well search the sky for answers (x2)
