When I hold you
Up to the light, the light
I can see right,
Right through the bullshit spite
You've been flashing like a switchblade.
I miss the messy nights we used to know,
We used to know
I can't keep chasing your reflection down in the undertow.

You know i want to fall in with your flood
You know i want to follow
But you're washing all your bridges away
Don't make me watch you dam yourself up
You know i want to fall in with your flood
You know i want to follow
Can't you understand my reasons
Can't you understand?

I want to keep you,
Keep you honest with yourself,
With yourself
But i can't help, can't help but notice
A brother means as little as anyone else
I miss the messy life we used to know,
We used to know
I can't keep chasing your reflection down in the undertow

You know i want to fall in with your flood
You know i want to follow
But you're washing all your bridges away
Don't make me watch you damn yourself up.
You know i want to fall in with your flood
You know i want to follow.
Can't you understand the reasons
That we can't understand each other these days?

Go on go on, use all my old lies on me.
I'm counting the months.
You're counting your drinks like prayer beads.
Go on go on. Play that game of sharks and minnows.
Outrun your friends, outrun your friends,
Just to outrun your devils.
Go on go on, use all my old lies on me.
I am your friend, iI'll be waiting longer than you want me.
I am your friend,
I am your friend, I am
Whatever that means
I am your friend,
I am your friend, I am
Whatever that means
