I said my goodbyes didn't I?
Seemed so ideal to the outside
Burning and tying on
I should have said it before I
Before I'd gone
Before I'd gone
That's the wit of the staircase
Shouldn't have left me alone
Winchester type paranoid
Atlantic ocean that's your mind
I should have said it before I
Before I'd gone
Before I'd gone
That's the wit of the staircase
Play it calm, in time we will fall in love
Play it calm, in time we will fall in love
Play it calm, in time we will fall in love
Fall in love, fall in love, fall in
They'll find me, they'll find me when I wash up
They're out there
I've seen them out there
I'm not crazy, I'm not
Not crying wolf, I'm
I'm not crazy, I'm not
I see them out there in the real world, out my window
They're already in my head now, behind my eyes
