Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey now, is it the dawn or the end?

The hours we talked

You wished we'd stopped

Acting like it's nothing at all

In the first act, your gun on the wall

The kick back into your

Shoulder was always hard to ignore, hey

[Verse 2]

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes

[Verse 3]

Hey now, the slip, the doubt, the itch

You bow so long to live beyond

Now you walk in, humming your song

Mirror in the bathroom, nails getting long

Ah please, tell me I'm wrong

In the third act, it's gotta go off, hey

[Verse 4]

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes

[Verse 5]

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes

Even if I'm on your side

I saw the way you close your eyes
