Lyrics

Trust the Tension

A bookshelf organized just by the color of the spines
Has enough time quite elapsed for me to call you mine?
I'll leave, well, I'll leave it all behind
I'll leave, well, I'll leave it all behind

Well now you know
That I'll learn to trust the tension
And I'll learn to let things go
But if you plan on leaving
Darling, let me know
I never used to act like this before
No, I never used to act like this before

Your softpaw hook, that daggered look
Has not won the race yet
I am blessed, my mind's a mess
So I can just forget

I'll leave, well, I'll leave it all behind
I'll leave, well, I'll leave it all behind

Well now you know
That I'll learn to trust the tension
And I'll learn to let things go
But if you plan on leaving
Darling, let me know
Yeah if you plan on leaving
Darling let me know
I never used to act like this before
No, I never used to act like this before

Well now you know
That I'll learn to trust the tension
And I'll learn to let things go
But if you plan on leaving
Darling, let me know
Yeah if you plan on leaving
Please just fucking go
I never used to act like this before
No, I never used to act like this before
No, I never used to act like this before
No, I never used to act like this before
