Lyrics

It's Been a While

[Verse 1]

It’s been a while

Since I’ve had any thoughts to think

The things that she said

Still linger in my head

They say ignorance is bliss

So I  just won’t think instead

[Chorus]

There’s nothing nice in the way

I hide inside my head

But it's the only place where i can say

What needs to be said

Without grinding my teeth

Like gears in the machine

Or stumbling on words

Like cracks in a road

There’s a difference between being alone

And just being lonely

[Verse 2]

It’s been a while

Since I’ve had anything to drink

When my bellies filled with beer

My logic disappears

No potion cures my missing her

So I just won’t drink this year

[Chorus]

There’s nothing nice in the way

I hide inside my head

But it's the only place where i can say

What needs to be said

Without grinding my teeth

Like gears in the machine

Or stumbling on words

Like cracks in a road

There’s a difference between being alone

And just being lonely

[Outro]

If only the tightrope that withers beneath my feet

Would hold me a few seconds longer

Then at least I’d fall gradually

But I’ve never been good at letting things go

And I’m not sure I’ll ever know

What love means

What love means
