lyrics

I was getting caught up looking at the perfect lives, led by fiction.
So come on let's not lead metaphor lives, find ways to manifest what's
inside.
Cuz I wait like anchors for answers, my retrograde motion lover.
You can take off your green shoe's, and stay awhile.
I want to know that I was worth your while.

Open your eyes, tell me you're alright, tell me you're okay. Tell me it's
always been.
Cuz you got me talking to you like I don't know anybody else in the room.
A Simple lie be told, I’m not looking to grow old knowing that's my life,
I'm not fine.

I know eventually mountains will turn to sand, and dreams we had will fade
away.
But those who drained me inch for inch, I’ll forgive but I wont forget.
So while I’m walking along the beach, and the sand is giving underneath my
feet,
it'll tell the stories of our lives, and everything you've done still
survives, so-

Open your eyes, tell me you're alright, tell me you're okay. Tell me it'
always been.
Cuz you got me talking to you like I don't know anybody else in the room.
A Simple lie be told, I’m not looking to grow old knowing that's my life,
I'm not fine.

Cuz I know eventually mountains will turn to sand, and dreams we had will
fade away.
Those who drain me inch for inch, I’ll forgive but I wont forget-

Open your eyes, tell me you're alright, tell me you're okay. Tell me it's
always been.
Cuz you got me talking to you like I don't know anybody else in the room.
A Simple lie be told, I’m not looking to grow old knowing that's my life,
I'm not fine.
