Lyrics

Why We Ever

Open your mouth
Say something warm
I've spent a while
On the stranger's side of your door
How do you sound?
What do you look like now?
I try to replicate our movements in my mind

And now I
Can't seem to remember why, we ever
Felt we had to say goodbye (Ah-ha)
I can't seem to remember why
Can't seem to remember why

Tin-can telephone
From your home to my home
I can't feel your energy no more
No more, no more (No more, no more, no more)
No more, no more (No more, no more, no more)
No more, no more

And now I
Can't seem to remember why we ever
Felt we had to say goodbye
I can't seem to remember why
And darling we ever
Can't seem to remember why

I spent the weekend at home again
Drawing circles on the floor
Tried to keep myself from hurting
Don't know why anymore

I just wanna talk about it
I know I freaked you out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
I know I freaked you out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out

Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
I just wanna talk about it
Sorry for freaking out
