lyrics

Giving over the afternoon, wearing guilt like perfume
All the things I said I’d do have all been lured away
I’ll leave it till tomorrow and pretend I’m here to stay

Playing cards and drinking wine, thick chains draped down my spine
Pulling me out of the same old thing and into your unmade bed
Getting caught in tangled sheets, and forgetting what I’ve said

And all the while despite the fun
I’m doing my best not to run
I’m doing my best
Not to run

You shook my demons to the ground, you picked them up and you stared them down
Your heart will wrap around my lies and justify all compromise
I’ll steal your future by the by, like those kisses on the sly

Smoking colours in the sun, they tease my dream of what’s to come
There's sweet bourbon on my tongue, brown sugar on my spoon
Sweating out our memories throughout the afternoon

And all the while despite the fun
I’m doing my best not to run
I’m doing my best
Not to run

And all the while despite the fun
I’m doing my best not to run
I’m doing my best
Till the last song’s been sung
