Lyrics

Take your time, I can hardly breathe
A couple nights is all you really need
Count a lie but I can't lose the sleep
But when I see you
For drinks labeled "overdue"
You turn up
Wearing all black like you're dressed for a funeral
Makes you feel tall when you're not good at letting go
Waking up drunk is tomorrow's conditional
And I can feel the weight of your eyes on my soul
In my mind she blows a kiss at me
Out on ninth, it's playing on repeat
A Shangri-La, I never seem to leave
But when I see you
For drinks labeled "overdue"
You turn up
Wearing all black like you're dressed for a funeral
Makes you feel tall when you're not good at letting go
Waking up drunk is tomorrow's conditional
And I can feel the weight of your eyes on my soul
Darling you should go
Cause I don't want to know
Whose lips you saw last night
Or how you want to wake up by my side
Wearing all black like you're dressed for my funeral
Makes you feel tall when you're not good at letting go
Waking up drunk is tomorrow's conditional
And I can feel the weight of your lies on my soul
