"Contender" lyrics

"Contender"

Spent the night walking backwards
Through the colours saturating
Saw the whole February
Through a window shaded wall
Sleep for days
Wake up early to all the messages on repeat
We came so close to perfection now
Will I ever learn to be less tiresome?

Paid our dues
Crept up quietly
Under everything
We'd conceived
Missed the train
Got too comfortable
Now through contention
We must ride on and on

Step down contender
I knew you were wrong
To judge intention
It's better that way

Every other day I'm gone
Only to resurface
All the trouble I've encountered
Has barely disappeared

Every other day I'm gone (On the outside)
Only to resurface (You're getting older)
All the trouble I've encountered (Don't apologise)
Has barely disappeared

Every other day I'm gone
Only to resurface
All the trouble I've encountered
Has barely disappeared

Every other day I'm gone (On the outside)
Only to resurface (You're getting older)
All the trouble I've encountered (Don't apologise)
Has barely disappeared (In sight)

(On the outside)
(You're falling over)
(Don't apologise)
(That's life)

(On the outside)
(You're getting older)
(Don't apologise)
