"Easy Distraction" lyrics

"Easy Distraction"

We used to jump the fence, now we both think twice
We used to make up games, now we just make nice
Lately, I just can't tell you what I would give
Just to see you

I know that I've been distant and damn near dust
I know a place exists that was made for us
I'm standing in the hallway nervous
Just to see you

Pull up at my place, knock on my door
I'll say I'm sorry, you'll say what for
For letting this happen, for letting you go
You're all that I had
And now it's starting to show

I wanna say so much, get to you so bad
I wanna claw my way back to what we had
I'll swallow all the pride I paraded
Just to see you

Pull up at my place, knock on my door
I'll say I'm sorry, you'll say what for
For letting this happen, for letting you go
You're all that I had and now it's starting to show
But I'm still in the hallway, praying for time
For an easy distraction, to drown out my mind
Oh, I let this happen, I let you go
You're all that I had
And now it's starting to show

I can't see what's coming
Ahead in the night
But I'm willing to risk it
I'm willing to fight
For every mistake
I'll give you my hand
Just promise to hold it
Wherever we land
I can't see what's coming
Ahead in the night
But I'm willing to risk it

If you pull up at my place, knock on my door
I'll say I'm sorry, you'll say what for
For letting this happen, for letting you go
You're all that I had and now it's starting to show
I'm still in the hallway, praying for time
For an easy distraction, to drown out my mind
Oh, I let this happen, I let you go
You're all that I had
And now it's starting to show

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
And now it's starting to show

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
And now it's starting to show
