Lyrics

Damage Control

You wrote your name next to mine
In the fog on your windshield
It's been some time, but I swear I can still feel
The heat from that night still
I felt the highs and the lows in your tone at the same time
Pure regret you expressed on your land line
I'm in disbelief from that night still

I'm calling damage control
You managed to blow
Our city up out of the ground
And now I'm alone in this place
The emptiness takes
A toll on me don't let me down
I told her don't let me go
(No don't let me go)
Write another alibi make sure that it's convincing
So I won't let you go
(No don't let me go)
It was never real but I can still pretend that it's okay when you call
Don't let me go
I told her don't let me go

I saw the sparks in her eyes like the sky on July fourth
Burning bright like a fire I would die for
In the blink of an eye still
But I never thought that you would be different
Now I wish I never knew you at all
Cause your tendencies became so consistently troublesome
So I began to brace for the fall

I'm calling damage control
You managed to blow
Our city up out of the ground
And now I'm alone in this place
The emptiness takes
A toll on me don't let me down
I told her don't let me go
(No don't let me go)
Write another alibi make sure that it's convincing
So I won't let you go
(No don't let me go)
It was never real but I can still pretend that it's okay when you call

Days grow older, nights get colder, the sky seems closer now

I told her don't let me go
(No don't let me go)
Write another alibi make sure that it's convincing
So I won't let you go
(No don't let me go)
It was never real but I can still pretend that it's okay when you
It was never real but I can still pretend that it's okay when you call

Don't let me go
Told her don't let me go
Don't let me go
Told her don't let me go
