lyrics

If I take it for what it’s worth
I take too much and leave nothing for her
And I don’t know why I do it
And I don’t know how to stop
When every move is automatic
And I always fuck it up -

So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I’m consistent, and I don’t have to come clean
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More more more

I’m a wall, thick as concrete
When I shut right down and forget how to breathe
And I don’t know why I do it
And I don’t know how to stop
When every time she brings her hatchet,
I hang it right back up

And I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I’m consistent, and I don’t have to come clean
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More more more

Always wanting what I can’t have
She’s got a boyfriend with all these plans
And I want to tell her how sure I am –
But I can’t…

So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
(always wanting what I can’t have)
At least this way I’m consistent, and I don’t have to come clean
(She’s got a boyfriend with all these plans and I)
Oh I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
(want to tell her how sure I am, oh I)
At least this way I’m consistent, and I don’t have to come clean
(want to tell her how sure I am)

But then she leads to me to the doorway as the bar is shutting down
(always wanting what I can’t have)
And pulls the hair back from my temple as she spins herself around
(always wanting what I can’t have)
And says “I know you’ve been keeping this in a hole in the ground –
(always wanting what I can’t have)
But I’m feeling what you’re feeling, baby, how does that sound?”
(always wanting what)
And as she kissed me, I can taste the whiskey sweet on her mouth –
If only just for now… if only just for now.
