I never meant to bring this up
But how could I be unbothered by the wait outside?
Wake up, my love, wake up
You're falling asleep, holding tight to names and numbers
You dial in, but you can't remember
From treading water to drowning in zeros
I never guessed our time would be for letting go

So spare me the pain and war stories
I've spent days on end staring at the ceiling
And old bones will break
I smell the beginning of the end
So dig that knife on in, knife on in

Do you remember secrets that we told each other?
We swore to never grow old; oh, watch me shake now
Remember the accident?
Remember what you said to make my head explode?

So spare me the pain and war stories
I've spent days on end staring at the ceiling
And old bones will break
I smell the beginning of the end
So dig that knife on in, knife on in
So dig that knife on in, yeah!
Oh, freeze when life stops distracting you
And breathe when moments are no excuse
No excuse

Leave when time only salts your wounds
And grieve the death of your vibrant youth
Stomp out your truth
