lyrics
What happened to the first call?
Why is it always the last?
You’re circling through a tight spot
You jumped in too fast
Burned a hole in your pocket
Ran out of gas
But it’s not like somebody
flipped your lens and forced you not to see
you struck a chord with the same old company
they’re not growing and you’re left in between
Lot’s happened since the first night
Why is it always the last
that keeps me holding this glass
Feels like I’m coming up short
when you miss the mark on this shaky rapport
Left biting my tongue
when you’re stuck in the same place
with no intentions
But it’s not like somebody
flipped your lens and forced you not to see
you struck a chord with the same old company
they’re not growing and you’re left in between
I’ve got trouble letting go
I’ve got trouble letting in
You can only move as fast
as this weight you’re dragging
But it’s not like somebody
flipped my lens and forced me not to see
if I sit down and think about the grand scheme
what matters to you is what matters to me
Why is it always the last?
You’re circling through a tight spot
You jumped in too fast
Burned a hole in your pocket
Ran out of gas
But it’s not like somebody
flipped your lens and forced you not to see
you struck a chord with the same old company
they’re not growing and you’re left in between
Lot’s happened since the first night
Why is it always the last
that keeps me holding this glass
Feels like I’m coming up short
when you miss the mark on this shaky rapport
Left biting my tongue
when you’re stuck in the same place
with no intentions
But it’s not like somebody
flipped your lens and forced you not to see
you struck a chord with the same old company
they’re not growing and you’re left in between
I’ve got trouble letting go
I’ve got trouble letting in
You can only move as fast
as this weight you’re dragging
But it’s not like somebody
flipped my lens and forced me not to see
if I sit down and think about the grand scheme
what matters to you is what matters to me
