[Verse 1]

Talked late of the pleasantries

That never meant much to me

But it was meaning everything to you

A cold pause right before you looked

She adores you

Runs towards you

Calls on the land line

That call wasn't always real

You loved just how the fabric feels

But I was somebody else

A boy in a belt

Who knew

Tearjerker

You been shaking me out

I said one day passes by

But I will stay the same


[Chorus]

When you look me in the eyes, dear

What will you do?

When you notice there is nothing for you to hold on to

Last night I broke down when you said

"I thought you were better than that"

Kept my head above the wash now

I'm hoping that we never go back

I'm hoping that we never go back


[Verse 2]

Stood tall on a shallow reef

Right there beside the public beach

Hoping I was something sharks would eat

You said, "Sugar, how you holding up?"

I said, "Yeah my body's gone but I'm feeling you still"

Always on the move

Ground controller

Oh beam me up, I've had enough

I'm ready to lose

How's it going?

Oh hi hello I'd like to know

If there will ever be one day passes by where I will stay the same


[Chorus]

When you look me in the eyes, dear

What will you do?

When you notice there is nothing for you to hold on to

Last night I broke down when you said

"I thought you were better than that"

Kept my head above the wash now

I'm hoping that we never go back

Tearjerker you made me friend

I'm hoping that we never go back
