I've been building up fences around your smiles
Make pretend that, I wouldn't fall for that
With simple words you turned my walls into glass
Could you see I've waited this all my life
Got firmly held and tossed a few years back
Can't remember, if I ever told you that?
Does it matter, not sure you would have cared but
Would you invite me over, in reluctant ways?
You're flying high, begging for a prey
And I didn't ask, but I didn't pray
So you got me good, oh you knew you would
Paint me shades of hope, then laugh at me in the rain
Wide-eyed gaze, tell me that this won't be the last
A pretty face, oh man you're more than that
I'm turning off the lights, and you pull me
You pull me by the hand oh
And you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
For now, oh
For now, for now
They'll never get it, all of your rugby guys
Your mother hates it, but yet you're fine with that
You seek excuses, think I can't see through lies
That I've got it easy, cause I know who I am
I'm understanding, you can have fun with her
I'm overthinking, that I was never earned
Selfish manners, drown your ghosts in liquor
I'd softly rather, blur mine in your curls
I'd wait through war and jail, hoping that we'll meet again
Your monsters locked in hell and with a smile on your face
Listening to your shit, in case you wish you had stayed
In case you forgot to say << I love you by the way >>
Wide-eyed gaze, tell me that this won't be the last
A pretty face, oh man you're more than that
I'm turning off the lights, and you pull me
You pull me by the hand oh
And you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
We're drunk again, but it used to be our time
I shouldn't say that I went out just for that
Convincing my friends that I'm distant
Cause you fled again oh
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
This place is full of eyes, but they'll never read your mind
One look and I supply, you could have won tonight
Their words did kill your pride, now you wish you never tried
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
Say all we need is time, you're not ready for that
Tomorrow I will fly, and leave you far behind
You might forget my laugh, and tales I tried to pass
But I'm not going anywhere, anywhere for now
This place is full of eyes, it's scaring me this time
Your look is all I ask, it's coming back around
Their words did kill your pride, now you wish you never tried
But you're not going anywhere, anywhere for now
