Lyrics The Swell Season

The Swell Season

The Verb

What's the verb to cut it off

To take a knife and hack away at it

You keep saying, well that's the last time

You'll pretend to, stand aside no matter what we did

I'm not playing, all in all then just enough to

Keep us sliding back to where we were

I'm not waiting

That's the last time you'll get friends who

Will tell you that you walked away with it

When you barely scraped through

I'm tired of fighting she said

Your words just rattle my head

All joy escapes in the dark

And I can't make this make sense

Your words are lost to me now

I cannot take it I'm out

I'm stuck here kidding myself

You're out there caring somewhere

What's the verb to

Kick it off to

Take the time and walk away from it

I'm not playing,

That'll never sit with us well

We're far too pious to get out of it

And we're on our way

I'm tired of fighting she said

Your words just rattle my head

All joy escapes in the dark

And I can't make this make sense

Your words are lost to me now

I cannot take it I'm out

I'm stuck here killing myself

You're out there drinking somewhere

This time I've lost all my hope

I cannot take it no more

I'm stuck here killing myself

You're out there laughing somewhere

I'll tear my heart out no more

I'll burn this bridge till its gone

I'm stuck here killing myself

You're out there laughing somewhere

All joy is lost to me now

I cannot take it I'm out

I'm stuck here killing myself

And you're out there drinking somewhere

I'm stuck here killing myself

Running away won't change anything it only puts it off

Stand on the spot work out where you are and take it

all from there

Running away won't change anything it only puts it off

Stand on the spot work out where you are and take it

all from there

Running away won't change anything it only puts it off
