the cord Video (MV)

I hung up
Some pictures
Of men wearing underwear
I wondered
When I might
Look like that
I worked out
In short shorts
So I might catch you looking
But I felt
Too scared
To ever look back
Oh sometimes I get so caught up in this heat
I get so caught up in this spit, on fire I've built
Oh sometimes I wonder if I can let it be
If I can build my house of dreams, with cards I'm dealt
I just have to cut the cord!
Yeah, I'm so tired of ringing
In the new year with the same old shit I'm singing
Oh it's a shame that I've grown lame
That I spent my twenties laying down
And all the dreams I claim
I am too scared to put my name down
I'm just saying
I'm too scared to put my phone down
And act like I want it
So I'll act like I'm bored
I just have to cut the cord
You gave me
A compliment
I had to learn to take it
So I could
Tell others
That you cared
(And I was right!)
And in that
Short year
You moved on
Left me speechless
That altar
I tore down
Overnight
You gave me hope, I know that I should build myself up
But it's like dope, it doesn't count if there's no fire
And on this rope I walk, and trust that I am held up
But in you're wake, I'm too naive to fear the wire
I just have to cut the cord!
Yeah, I'm so tired of ringing
In the new year with the same old shit I'm singing
Oh it's a shame that I've grown lame
That I spent my twenties laying down
And all the dreams I claim
I am too scared to put my name down
I'm just saying
I'm too scared to put my phone down
And act like I want it
So I'll act like I'm bored
I just have to cut the cord
