lyrics

Black hole opened in the kitchen
Every clock's a different time
It would only take the energy to fix it
I don't know why I am

The way I am, not strong enough to be your man
I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and
Spinning out about things that haven't happened
Breathing in and out

Drag racing through the canyon
Singing "Boys Don't Cry"
Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement?
I don't know why I am

The way I am, not strong enough to be your man
I lie, I am just lowering your expectations
Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing
Close my eyes and count

Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god

Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel

I don't know why I am the way I am
There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations
Coming to, in the front seat, nearly empty
Skip the exit to our old street and go home
Go home alone
