lyrics

I'm pushing through the splinters
Counting down the days to winter
And I'm looking at our pictures
Cause I couldn't catch your fate
It's almost spring you know I can't afford a ring
Now you losing interest, I know it's just too late

And now it's too late and that's my mistake
It's not your load to bear, I know this isn't fair

Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think i'm better off, I think I'm better alone

I'm passing all the sprinters,
Warding off our weathered wither
And we're hanging all our pictures
Getting ready for some space
Its almost fall now and we haven't changed at all
Are we losing interest? I know it's just too late

And now it's too late and that's my mistake
It's not your load to bear, I know this isn't fair

Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home,
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better off

Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home,
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better alone

Spiderwebs flowing through the glass
While the water slowly fills its way to my lap
Can't cut the belt, too late
Coulda sworn that I hit the brakes
Spiderwebs flowing through the glass
While the water slowly fills its way to my lap
Can't cut the belt, too late
Coulda sworn that I hit the brakes

Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better off

Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think i'm better off, I think I'm better alone

We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up
We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up
We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up
