Brittle Bond

More or less ten years from now
You'll still be paying off your house
Hoping all the rooms are filled with life there
I never had to call on you
But would you still pick up the phone?
Would you even recognize the number?

My friends think I've got shit together
And fuck my life forever
I won't be the same no-show
Keeping the dependents low
Waiting for the message that you miss me
Yeah, I know I can face it
But it feels so wrong

I'm still packing up the pieces
That you packed up yesterday
And it feels like a relief
That I no longer need to wait
All that we're relying on
Is an old and brittle bond (bond)
It doesn't even feel that bad to me this time

Scott, I'm making any plans ahead of time
Show me your pain and I'll explain you mine
We're not breaking, just fading
Neither leaving nor waiting

I'm still packing up the pieces
That you packed up yesterday
And it feels like a relief
That I no longer need to wait
All that we're relying on
Is an old and brittle bond (bond, bond)

I'm still packing up the pieces
That you packed up yesterday
And it feels like a relief
That I no longer need to wait
All that we're relying on
Is an old and brittle bond (bond)
It doesn't even feel that bad to me this time
It doesn't even feel that bad to me this time

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna fail
I won't be the same no-show
Keeping the dependents low
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna fail
I won't be the same no-show
Never feels like coming home
