Disguising Mistakes With Goodbyes

[Verse 1: Toby Morrell, Josh Head]

Just take it back (I feel)

They're only words (your hair)

We hold the tethers (through my)

We're here together (fingers)

We paint the night (every)

Only to find (silk strand)

It's cracked and peeling (takes my)

Each face revealing (breath a-)

What we don't say (-way)

[Chorus: Toby Morrell, with Devin Shelton]

Let's take these lines and

Draw ourselves out of here

This shipwreck from set-sail

We'll map the stars

Tonight they help to find a way

When all is said

Words can breathe more life than death

The innocence that people share

Touching on secrets and letting down hair

[Post-Chorus: Toby Morrell]

Over and over, let's not forget last time

I've kept the best parts and play them in my mind

This is tomorrow so take it or leave it

[Verse 2: Toby Morrell]

Empty diaries

There's nothing to say

And we'll take the right steps

To keep these pages clean

You want the answers

I see them on your face

You need to know this is where the promise breaks

[Breakdown: Toby Morrell]

I can give you my answer!

I can give you my answer!

I can give you my answer!

I can give you my answer!

[Bridge: Toby Morrell, Devin Shelton]

I know (I know)

If you stay (if you stay)

This will be (this will)

Ours to take (be ours to take)

Inside I (I feel)

Am overwhelmed (so good)

From holding back (I want)

But know that this won't be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...)

[Outro: Toby Morrell]

I can't stay here

You can't ask me

Just so you would know
