lyrics
Though I wrote it off as nothing then
It still was a lie
Walk away now
Yeah you’ll survive
I was halfway out the doorway when
You threw me on the pile
Never was my
Kinda style
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rattle my light
I rattle my light
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches darling that’s the truth
I wanna but I can not follow you
Don’t retrieve what I can’t ever use
If you tell us how to get there
Tell us what to see
Speak in terms we both
Still believe
I can live right in the open
Sleep right on the edge
Stick around until
No one’s left
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rather not go
No, I rather not
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches darling that’s the truth
I wanna but I can not follow you
Don’t retrieve what I can't ever use
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rather not go
I rather not
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches wanna follow through
But now it would be such a waste to
Don’t retrieve what I won't ever
No, don’t retrieve what I can’t ever use
It still was a lie
Walk away now
Yeah you’ll survive
I was halfway out the doorway when
You threw me on the pile
Never was my
Kinda style
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rattle my light
I rattle my light
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches darling that’s the truth
I wanna but I can not follow you
Don’t retrieve what I can’t ever use
If you tell us how to get there
Tell us what to see
Speak in terms we both
Still believe
I can live right in the open
Sleep right on the edge
Stick around until
No one’s left
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rather not go
No, I rather not
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches darling that’s the truth
I wanna but I can not follow you
Don’t retrieve what I can't ever use
I can turn around
I can see inside
I rather not go
I rather not
I’m still wide awake
I still hear the sound
I rattle my light
I rattle my
My heart it aches wanna follow through
But now it would be such a waste to
Don’t retrieve what I won't ever
No, don’t retrieve what I can’t ever use
