Lyrics:

1-

I'm only pretty sure-that I can't take anymore-Before

you take a swing-I wonder-What are we fighting for-When

I say out loud-I want to get out of this-I wonder-Is

there anything-I'm gonna miss-I wonder.

3-

Where we used to laugh, there's a shouting match-sharp

as a thumbnail scratch-A silence I can't ignore, like

the hammock-by the door-where we spent time in-swings

empty-I don't see lightning like last fall-when it was

always-about to hit me-I wonder.

6-

Want to get back myself back in again-The soft dive of-

oblivion-Want to taste the salt-of your skin-The soft

dive of-oblivion

Lyrics:

2-

How's it's gonna be-when you don't know me-How's it gonna

be-when you're sure I'm not there-How's it gonna be-when

there's no one there to talk to-Between you and me-Cause

I don't care-How's it gonna be.

4-

How's it gonna be-when it goes down-How's it gonna be-

when you're not around-How's it gonna be-when you found

out there was nothing-Between you and me-Cause I don't

care-How's it gonna be.

*Chorus 2*
