Too Close to See

Where is the killer line to save you this day is going hard

Less and less in conversation it leaves me in the dark

I have to find a  good location I have to build an ark

Here's the thing I know you're patient I'll  tear it all apart, all apart

Up in the dead of night don't wake me I want to laze around

Blaming games that go on baby they leave me underground  

I know enough to not ask questions I know to play the part

Trouble is soon or later it hits me in the heart, in the heart

I laid it down I lost the key  

I hear the sound too close to see                                                                

I can't believe that I forgave you no sense in turning back

Every lie is on the level I need to face the facts

Last night we sat across the table how can we fall behind

Listen dear it's complicated I tell you all the time

I can recall before I met you bookends of fading light

I can see it happen from the corner of my eye

You could be gone to sleep without me you could have flown away

I can analyze for now I need you night and day, night and day

I laid it down I lost the key  

I hear the sound too close to see

I laid it down I lost the key  

I hear the sound too close to see
