lyrics

Too many steps In one direction, makes you sink, slowly and deeper.
She only wanted to avoid detection, so she stayed quiet, so you can't hear her.
We sat on top of a jungle gym, just puff puff pass, it was three in the morning.
She said that she was bound to disappear some time, said it strange, said it like a warning.

I didn't waste my time on waiting, I wasted it on you.
Every word I stuttered after that, were just conquered verbs I threw.

We walked by a row of shotgun homes, our heels crunching, crawfish tails and chicken bones.
Talked all about how you learned to love the quarter, said it loved, said it like a daughter.

I didn't waste my time on waiting, I wasted it on you.
Every word I stuttered after that, we're just conquered verbs I threw.
