Lyrics

White Knuckles

White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles

Playing dumb with hand grenades
Like they won't blow up in my face
Piece of cake to walk away
But little white lies won't keep me safe

Safe in the bubble
You got a pin and I know I'm in trouble
Safe in the bubble
But here we go again, with these white knuckles

Oh, I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is

White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles

Seal my lips with super-glue
Feel these eggshells under my shoes
Trigger finger on the loose
But I'm gun shy when I'm with you

Safe in the bubble
You got a pin and I know I'm in trouble
Safe in the bubble
But here we go again, with these white knuckles

Oh, I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is

White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles

I'm biting nails behind your back
I'm gripping teacups till they crack
But, you can never know why
No, you can never know why

I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is

White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
