Lyrics
State Of Things
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.
We don't talk
No confrontation at all
Been building tension up high like a wall
So that explains the state of things
We still touch
You're making love like a crush
I feel your heart barely beating for us
Yeah, that explains the state of things
How many tears can we hold untill somebody blinks?
And how many holes can we put in this boat 'till it sinks?
'Till it sinks
We can try to ignore
It just comes back for more
It won't go away
Go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state
State of things
We got stuck
This fading love's not enough
With no direction, straight out of love
Yeah, that explains the state of things
How many tears can we hold untill somebody blinks?
And how many holes can we put in this boat 'till it sinks?
'Till it sinks
We can try to ignore
It just comes back for more
It won't go away
Go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state
State of things
Alone in the night
Though you're still by my side
Nobody's wrong
But I know this ain't right
So tell me how many tears can we hold untill somebody blinks?
And tell me how many holes can we put in this boat 'till it sinks?
'Till it sinks
We can try to ignore
It just comes back for more
It won't go away
Go away
So tell me how long we can both carry on in this state
State of things
