Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pick you up inside a hopeless prayer
I see you beholden to nothing
I make a living crying, it ain't fair
And not budging
[PreChorus]
I don't see why you would lie, it was never the love you wanted
It's a state of mind you designed, you get everything that you want
[Chorus]
You might get lost in the moment
Take it easy on your opponent
It plays on my mind, how the time passing
Covers you like a friend
[PreChorus]
I don't see why you would lie, it was never the love you wanted
It's a state of mind you defined, you take anything that you want
[Chorus]
If you're not living, then you're dying
Just a raw nerve satisfying
Some futile bottom line, all my life, I've been running from what you want
[Verse 2]
You drive like you're wanted in four states
In a busted truck in Opelika
Your bad reputation carries, and I'm just like ya
[PreChorus]
Try to justify and scrape by, I was always the one unsteady
It's a state of mind you malign, and ya don't get caught up in much
[Chorus]
I'm defenseless against the sales pitch
Am I your moat or your drawbridge?
It plays on my mind, how the time passing holds you like pocket change
[PreChorus]
I don't see why you would try, it was never my love you wanted
It always mystifies me, the time passing covers you like a friend
[Chorus]
If you're not living, then you're dying
A lightning bolt, horrifying
Unsuspecting sky, all my life, I've been running from what you want
