"Paperweight" lyrics

"Paperweight"

Counting the steps between the street lights
Trying to match them every time
Anything I can do to keep my head distracted from tonight

Cause I'm walking further than I ever
While you're in their car with your feet on the dash
We're saying sorry
There's no coming back
It's kinda twisted but I'm missing that

It's a God damn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back

It's a God damn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

Right off of your back
Right off of your back

It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight riff off of your back

It'd be a lie if I said I could fix this now
While you're back on your feet
And I'm upside down
Well I'm hopelessly hoping
The further I'm floating

Cause I'm walking further than I ever
While you're in their car with your feet on the dash
We're saying sorry
There's no coming back
It's kinda twisted but I'm missing that

It's a God damn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back

It's a God damn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

Right off of your back
Right off of your back

It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight riff off of your back

Like shattered glass
Bottle up and fractured
Broken past
Beautiful disaster

One more wasted song
Washed out conversation

My head twisted off
No more desperation

It's a God damn kinda thing
Saying things that you don't mean
When you know there's no turning back

It's a God damn kinda thing
Letting go of everything
A paperweight right off of your back

Right off of your back
Right off of your back

It's kind of twisted but I'm missing that
It's like a paperweight riff off of your back
