about

“When you break up with someone but find yourselves continuing to wake up in their bed it should show early signs of addiction. Physical connection is something that can grab two people and turn them into soup. I was in a situation where my ex and I had very responsibly chosen to be friends. Quickly we found that certain looks were deadly. This roundabout of “we can’t” and “we can’t….again” is a rollercoaster we couldn’t get off, mostly because we didn’t want to. I wanted to write something that felt like that; something cheeky and driving. I wanted the song to resonate like that feeling of catching her smiling with one eyebrow raised from across the room.

lyrics

No more calling me up at 2:00AM
Saying no we’ll just talk
But I know you know we can’t
Stop playing blind
We trip every time

Throw away all those badly written lines
Like it’s all a mistake I’m on my way but I won’t spend the night
Yeah right
We never learn when you go though we know it always hurts

Done it all before
I know that I’ll want more if we just

If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
Hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Into your eyes
Your eyes
Into your eyes

It doesn’t take much to want your touch

I go still
When you hold me till
Until the room fills up
With the consequences that kill
Like a drug we say well try just to get high
On what so feels good when we know it’s not right

We should be friends let’s be friends
Funny how fast that word bends

If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
Hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Your eyes

I said god damn what a beautiful mess
Me without pants you without that dress
Your eyes
B-B-B-Bombs blown everybody is dead
Hands on the trigger we should just do it again
Your

What if it all goes wrong
What if I fall in love with you and

If we slip then into your arms I’ll
Fall and kick this habit that harms all
All of the missed nights in your bedroom
We play pretend who’s the one to kill the light
If we slip I’ll give it up up for you
Every inch of fame and fortune
What I wish goes right out the window
I hear the crescendo
I give in to your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes

Falling in love again
Hurts the most when you know how it ends
