The Verb

The Verb - The Swell Season

What's the verb to

Cut it off to

Take a knife and hack away at it

You keep saying

Well that's the last time

You'll pretend to

Stand aside no matter what we did

I'm not playing

All in all they're

Just enough to

Keep us sliding back to where we were

I'm not waiting

last That's the time

You get friends who

Will tell you that you walked away with it

And you barely scrape through

I'm tired of fighting she said

Your words just rattle my head

All joy escapes in the dark

And I can't make this make sense

Your words are lost to me now

I cannot take it, I'm out

I'm stuck here kidding myself

Cause you're out there caring somewhere

So what's the verb to

Kick it over

Take the time and walk away from it

I'm not playing

That'll never

Sit with us well

We're far too pious to get out of it

And we're on our way

I'm tired of fighting you said

Your words just rattle my head

All joy's escaped in the dark

And I can't make this make sense

Your thoughts are lost to me now

I cannot take it, I'm out

I'm stuck here kidding myself

You're out there drinking somewhere

I'm sorry I've lost all my hope

I cannot take it no more

I'm stuck here kidding myself

You're out there laughing somewhere

I tore my heart out, no more

I've burned this bridge and it's gone

I'm stuck here kidding myself

And you're out there laughing somewhere

This joy is lost to me now

I cannot take it, I'm out

I'm stuck here kidding myself

And you're out there drinking somewhere

I'm stuck here kidding myself
