Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stare in my direction, stand a little closer
Maybe it's not like it was in your mind
Mirror to mirror, there's no lookin' past her
Nothing comes as easy as a natural disaster
[Instrumental]
Half of me is here and half of me is runnin'
Half of me is wishing I decided on something
[PreChorus]
I've been doing all my best impressions
Of a life that isn't mine
[Chorus]
I keep reaching for that old expression
But it never comes out right
Like how living is just dying slowly
'Til it stares you in the eye
[Instrumental]
Sucker for the scare and a mess of a domestic
If I didn't have to then I wouldn't address it
Doesn't make sense when you make any sense of it
So what is the use in assessing the damages
[PreChorus]
I've been doing all my best impressions
Of a life that isn't mine
[Chorus]
I keep reaching for that old expression
But it never comes out right
I keep reaching for that old expression
But it never comes out right
Like how living is just dying slowly
'Til it stares you in the eye
'Til it stares you in the eye
'Til it stares you in the eye
