lyrics
You're pulling me back in today,
the calm before the tidal wave.
I'm swimming out, i know it's a mistake.
Catalog the drugs you've done -
The times you may have been in love -
I'm trying to figure out just how I will stack up.
Oh how do I stack up?
Our friends all talk,
Yeah they sure do talk.
And they've got a point or two -
They can’t be that far off.
It’s easy to give up -
I know you practiced it enough.
So prove them wrong
and take a break from breaking hearts.
You're looking down and looking out.
The gears are turning round and round.
Working hard on listing all of my shortcomings.
The air is thick with the words we don't say -
Forever, tomorrow, yesterday.
Walking by that store where you don't like to shop these days
since you got so trendy.
It's just not you anymore
Our friends all talk,
Yeah they sure do talk.
And they've got a point or two -
They can’t be that far off.
It’s easy to give up -
I know you practiced it enough.
So prove them wrong
and take a break from breaking hearts, please,
And spare mine
I'm sinking
but you're swimming.
Undertow gotta hold of me.
I'm sinking
you're swimming.
Talk is cheap but gossip’s free.
Our friends all talk,
yeah, they sure do talk.
Choking on the words we don't say,
chase them down with coke and whiskey.
It’s easy to give up.
I know you practiced it enough.
But prove them wrong -
Prove them wrong
You're pulling me back in today,
the calm before the tidal wave.
I'm swimming out, i know it's a mistake.
the calm before the tidal wave.
I'm swimming out, i know it's a mistake.
Catalog the drugs you've done -
The times you may have been in love -
I'm trying to figure out just how I will stack up.
Oh how do I stack up?
Our friends all talk,
Yeah they sure do talk.
And they've got a point or two -
They can’t be that far off.
It’s easy to give up -
I know you practiced it enough.
So prove them wrong
and take a break from breaking hearts.
You're looking down and looking out.
The gears are turning round and round.
Working hard on listing all of my shortcomings.
The air is thick with the words we don't say -
Forever, tomorrow, yesterday.
Walking by that store where you don't like to shop these days

So prove them wrong

And spare mine

Undertow gotta hold of me.
I'm sinking

Prove them wrong
