Not long ago, you saw your picture in my wallet
I fumbled the bills to keep it hidden
You said: "stop it, why?"
I wanna run, but don't know how you keep on worrying
I'm in your back pocket
Take me out when you get curious
I don't wanna start again
Why'd we always come up short
When you fold my world?
I barely can breathe, still trapped in the crease
You're wearing out the metaphor
In so many words, just say what you mean
Just say it to me
We're gone to talk
Why won't your lips move an inch?
let it crack to let it in
I will be damned if you are something I don't miss
When I don't ever fall again
As we worth the fight
We're loosing light with every move I make
Just waisting time deciding where we both compass the blame
And it all still feel so strange
So, figure it out
But you know you can make me wait too long
And I'm too afraid I won't have something to I fall back upon
When everything else goes wrong
Why'd we always come up short
When you fold my world?
I barely can breath, still trapped in a crease
You wearing out a mataphor
In so many words, just say what you mean
Just say it to me
I work too hard to think that you won't exist
But I doesn't take much to make me feel like I would still
I will be damned if you are something I don't miss
When I don't ever fall again
Go on and talk
Why won't your lips move an inch?
'Cause I set letter in my
I will be damned if you are something I don't miss
When I don't ever fall again
