lyrics

this is your third attempt
you wanna slide down my bottle neck
you say it's not even sadness
it's something much deeper
than cake flavored vodka
on a king's crossing weekend

you know i can't fix your problems
i know nothing to solve them
and i nearly dropped out twice
yeah, i'm not quite the smartest
but i know about sinking
you cling to your mattress cause
you're not sleeping much anymore

this isn't the last time is it james
we're stuck in the cycle and we will remain
white walls that bend towards the center
and you're still working retail

you know i think that's the problem
you're never gonna stop it
and you don't want to change
you say 'there's no more lightness
at the bottom of your being'
you're sick of looking and never seeing

i loved you like
lights that keep burning out
and my heart
was the satellite
in the orbit of your house
and you reached out
with both hands
and pulled me back down
to earth

i don't want to swim forever
or give in to endless summer and
i just sat there, watched you stand there
sat up, stand up, float it all away

float it all away
