lyrics

Look at me, I’m laughing
Squinting in the morning light
Stuck in someone’s else story
A phantom from a lonely night

Connor was tending bar and
My heart was running tape
But somewhere behind my mind
I’d made my getaway

They said it’d be a whiteout
That we wouldn’t see the ground for days
They sent all of the kids home
Locked ‘em in their rooms to play

But it was just a false flag
A phony piece of bait
A cheap thrill to fall asleep to
When I get in late

You wanna keep me guessing?
It ain’t that hard to tell
It feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Well, it took time but
It feels fine not to get it
If feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Or say you won’t
In the pale moonlight

It’s as far as I can throw you
Still it feels like trust this time
Once you reach the summit
It’s easy to forget the climb

Remember how we got here?
Well, that’s an old debate
If you want me to buy that story
Set a better rate

Well, you can probably tell me
These aren’t affairs of state
But it feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Well, it took time
But it feels fine not to get it
If feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Or say you won’t
In the pale moonlight

Our fathers play the jesters
Our mothers scrape their violins
We’re signing every paper
Strangers to the state we’re in

Saw us in a picture
From some weekend getaway
That day it came so easy
It could never stay

It seemed a strange vessel
A Ponzi scheme for two
It feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Well, it took time
But it feels fine not to get it
If feels fine not to know
When you’ll come back here and want me
Or say you won’t
In the pale moonlight
