lyrics

We searched for common ground
Started on the mezzanine
I was sick with something wrong
Your proximity was Dramamine
You kept my head from spinning
Said I'm falling off this pier right now
But at least you're here right now

See there's your problem there
the first verse always writes itself
then you're left with "but what else"
the melody has changed
but the lyrics always play the same
and I've done this to everyone I've ever loved

I know this is wrong
and I've gone on the record now
like a tiny ticking bomb
and let the record show
I don't really know
if I could stop myself from falling for you now

I've got cautiousness in spades
but not in the right place
I never know just when and where to hide my face
See I am not a stone
But a hundred grains of sand
and you're struggling to keep me in your hand

is that all I have to offer in this life?
a history of accidents, a legacy of clumsiness
and let the record show
I have always known
the ice I've trespassed on
only gets more thin as I get old

I know this is wrong
and I've gone on the record now
like a tiny ticking bomb
and let the record show
I apologize,
I'm sorry for all the trouble that I've caused
to all of us
