Lyrics

Options

I'm looking ahead in my line, in my line of sight
And the curtain has been open the whole of my life
It's safe to feel like I'm a whisper in time
All your smiles and all your frowns in the same light

I said I don't wanna be the second option anymore
And I don't wanna leave out of your back door, that's for sure

I'm looking outside through the door in the bitter cold
And what you own, I never knew, never knew you stole
But I can't fake it now, I seem to only go down
Making me turn on you, on you every time

I said I don't wanna be the second option anymore
And I don't wanna leave out of your back door, that's for sure
And I don't wanna be put in your pocket anymore
And I don't wanna be the second option, that's for sure

Take time in a place where your mind hides
I used to know everything, now you don't write
We're chasing a feeling and you know that ain't right
I used to know everything, watch it unwind
Witness past, walk in touch
Free of lease, owned by lust
Hide from light, wash in dusk
Live by night, far from love
