Wingtip — Frayed Tape

[Verse 1] It's been a hell of a year Between me and my fears Between plans for the future And all my passing ideas Thought I'd figure it out Just by walking around Just by talking to friends But I'm bringing them down And every night is the same When you're wishing for rain And a place to stay sunny Almost every day Maybe it's not enough Just to keep waking up Waiting on somebody to call you're bluff [Verse 2] And I don't blame her for leaving You know we all got our reasons And I was all that she wanted But not at all what she needed I probably need someone new It's what I know how to do Cause I'm lonely as hell and don't need an excuse To givе someone it all Sit and wait for the call That thеy had a good time, but I'm not the default And it's better than nothing I guess nobody's above it And I'm just trying to forget Whatever I learned that love is [Chorus] I know to get better But it's hard sometimes When you're feeling feeble in the palm of your life Too scared to settle Too scared to try Stuck to the frayed tape at the edge of your mind [Verse 3] I think I got it all wrong It was us all along Spent my first twenty years Trying not to belong But now I want to see people Talk about they're readin' Sit and listen to stories And hear the problems they deal with And I'm sick of attention I guess I'm learning my lesson That loving isn't the same It's just making presence And I don't know how to ask For the things that I had When I didn't know I had 'em In the palm of my hand [Verse 4] I get sick of the sky The way it's empty at night So I fill it with colour And all these cheap little lights And the city's not bad It's just starting to sag From the weight of our dreams And our plans of attack Cause the crowd's almost gone And by the end of the song They'll be going back home To the place they belong So I'm leaving tomorrow Hitchin' a ride on Apollo Going up to the stars And I'm hoping they follow [Chorus] I know to get better But it's hard sometimes When you're feeling feeble in the palm of your life Too scared to settle Too scared to try Stuck to the frayed tape at the edge of your mind [Outro] [Instrumental]
