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 |
