lyrics

Blooming
flowers theyre creeping out slow
grow away from my window
leave at their own chosen speed
and oh yeah, hello
somedays they move quiet and flow
sometimes I rage out and gnash my teeth just to kick up some foam

then here you come
you set the hook and you bait
picking all these fights with fate
rolling me over and over and over and over
like stones in the grass
oh baby you move so fast

and I can’t keep up
I never do
and I have your love but I don’t have you
so I kiss your neck
and you kiss mine too
and I let you win
and you let me lose

so what if you came
to conquer the world
I don’t know what that entails to you
some sense of control I guess
I don’t know but I feel it too
sometimes when Im all mixed up inside
or using myself in you
scared I don’t know what to do with myself

and I don’t keep up
I never will
Im stuck like time
standing still
so you take what you want
you eat your fill
and Ill grab the check
Ill pay the bill

I can’t pretend I don’t make the same bets over and over again
bleed me out I don’t know how to let a good thing end

that flowers in bloom
wrapping its legs round my room
passing me passing me pedals till I change my tune
and sing something nice
sing something the people will like
and exorcise all those demons don’t keep them inside

I can’t pretend I don’t make the same bets over and over again
bleed me out I don’t know how to let a good thing end
