"Bashville On The Sugar" lyrics

"Bashville On The Sugar"

See you in the subway coming in from the rain
Five white lies and I'm on my tippy toes again
Lacking condemnation so the feeling frustrates
Acutely out of phase, yeah I guess we're middling out these days

'Cause you know you're gonna still be adored
With your eyes like fire and your neck and your jaw
But there isn't any point anymore
Maybe one last glance as they're closing the doors

'Cause I'm searching for a sense of a clue
But the light's too bright and the hue's too blue
Now it hurts, I never wanted to choose
Yeah it hurts, I never wanted to choose

Don't you think it's weird
That you told our friends
That I'm spiralling on my own

'Cause I think it sucks
That I'm all dressed up
But I'm still a bag of bones

Listened to the screaming from the curves in the tracks
The brakes they burn when they weave between our verbal gaps
But I'm under no illusions that you wanted me back
I'm just lost within the waves of escape between each trait I lack

Yeah there's nothing in the gutter for me
'Cause you make me smile but you made me weak
And I'm blushing every night in my sleep
'Cause my dreams don't keep you away from me

And I never should have ridden alone
'Cause you lost your trust in your best friend's soul
With your windows closed and nobody home
And now all I want is to be alone

See you in the subway coming in from the rain
Five white lies and I'm on my tippy toes again
Lacking condemnation so the feeling frustrates
Acutely out of phase, yeah I guess we're middling out these days

'Cause you know you're gonna still be adored
With your eyes like fire and your neck and your jaw
But there isn't any point anymore
Maybe one last glance as they're closing the doors

'Cause I'm searching for a sense of a clue
But the light's too bright and the hue's too blue
Now it hurts, I never wanted to choose
Yeah it hurts, I never wanted to choose

Don't you think it's weird
That you told our friends
That I'm spiralling on my own

'Cause I think it sucks
That I'm all dressed up
But I'm still a bag of bones

Listened to the screaming from the curves in the tracks
The brakes they burn when they weave between our verbal gaps
But I'm under no illusions that you wanted me back
I'm just lost within the waves of escape between each trait I lack
