Passiona |
The people in the apartments across the street |
Literally and metaphorically look down on me |
Tangled in tenderness, why do I have to live like this? |
I was tempted by your company and you’ve already noticed me |
And I’m sorry for what I say when I don’t know what I’m saying |
And you don’t have to play this cat-and-mouse game I am playing |
I’m just a pretty sad person in a quite surreal place |
And I don’t look up from my phone |
Because I know I won’t see your face |
And it’s pathetic, it’s also not a competition |
And I’m absolutely, infinitely |
More scared of you than you are of me |
And I’ve always been the one that cares too much |
And I hope you’re happy, I hope you’ve slept |
I’ll try not write another record about the pain in my chest |
I’m just so glad I could be someone that you wanted |
And I don’t recognise these stars, I’m unfamiliar with this skyline |
I was born and bred in bars |
Now nothing man-made is in my eye line |
Turn and walk back to the house that they saved after the war |
And I am questioned once again |
Get asked what I would do that for |
And our host tells me I’m sick, tentatively hands me a spliff |
And I know he’s forgotten my name, but I don’t remember his |
And I’m absolutely, infinitely |
More scared of you than you are of me |
And I’ve always been the one that cares too much |
And oh God, if only it was that easy |
To run from what I’ve achieved, I’ve let it define me |
I’m having panic attacks on German TV |
This is not work ethic, it’s survival technique |
And there’s nothing I can really do |
So I sit in the band room, start fights to get attention from you |
There is nothing I am qualified or smart enough to do |
Sit in the band room and start fights to get attention from you |
And I walk off into the corn field, every cut’s a new relief |
I might stop talking altogether if you stop talking to me |
And if I’m really supposed to be here |
Why has no one come to that conclusion? |
I’m out of place amongst the band boys, I can’t suspend disillusion |
And music industry professionals |
Yeah, they can all go and fuck themselves |
And it’s just me and Chris, but he’s stoned as shit and passin' out |
That was okay once, for some reason, it’s sad now |
For some reason, it’s sad now |
For some reason, it’s sad |
