We stuffed our face with simple things
Treating cheap press pills like they weren’t anything
But a slight distraction
A passing car, a faint reflection
In this threadbare shirt
Left by a friend
With those broken songs I’ll never understand
As you shake and I sway, I could of sworn I heard you say

I wrote this down on an aeroplane
It’s the only thing that’s keeping me
Keeping me at arms length
Keeping you away
It’s lies and bullshit, it’s not safe

I couldn’t shake this feeling
Of the rust and the dirt and the engine screaming
It’s every stark reminder
Of the life I gave away
For goodness sake
I’m a young man
We were all young then
And we felt the strain
We were never given tools to deal with this much pain

I wrote this down on an aeroplane
It’s the only thing that’s keeping me
Keeping me at arms length
Keeping you away
It’s lies and bullshit, it’s not safe

We stuffed our face
We sealed our fate
We stuffed our face (with simple things)
We sealed our fate (it wasn’t anything)

I wrote this down on an aeroplane
It’s the only thing that’s keeping me
I wrote this down so far away
I feel the world and the earth’s forsaken me
Keeping me at arm’s length
