For What Reason

作词:Gibbard

this won't be the last you'll hear from me:

it's just the start.

i hope that he keeps

you up for weeks like you did to me.

i will hold a candle up to you to singe your skin.

brace yourself: i'm bent with bitterness.

when your apologies fail to ring true,

(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew

or phrases like 'i thought you knew',

while keeping me in hot pursuit.

tracing the plot finds skin touching skin

(abscence follows).

in the end, i win every time as ink remains.

sour tastes prevail as you play back the tape

machine.

when your apologies fail to ring true,

(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew

or phrases like 'i thought you knew',

while keeping me in hot pursuit.

tracing the plot finds skin touching skin

(abscence follows).
