Lyrics Cold War Kids

Cold War Kids

Loner Phase

They're calling you a genius

Is that why you're acting so competitive

And even if they mean it

Don't let the feeling get to your head

I really wanna call you

Better clean up the mess from the last time we met

The roof is gonna fall through

I'll stay out in the cold all alone instead

[Chorus:]

If you think you can, reach out your hand

Like all is well and nothing changed

But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

The wine is in the basement

So why can't I hide away to hibernate

I'm sleeping through the moment

And we're so afraid of getting worse with age

[Chorus:]

If you think you can, reach out your hand

Like all is well and nothing changed

But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

I'm so careful, I got out of the way

I'm so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say

Won't you give me distance

Just swallow the words you put on my plate

And maybe then you'd listen

And I could get out of this one act play

You see me waving my white flag

You see me waving my white flag

Won't you ever wanna take me back

Won't you ever wanna take me back
