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 bullsh*t, 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 bullsh*t, 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
