Lyrics
Turpentine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
And salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was ten again
So I could be your friend again
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six A.M. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But i'm warning you we're growing up
I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play
and there's no one allowed in
And just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six A.M. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But i'm warning you we're growing up
We're OK I know we're OK
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't maen to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up
