Smokescreen

I saw a movie on my birthday

And in the crowd i would sink into my seat

I was so mad it was my birthday

You always end up comparing company

Those are my words I'm taking them back

For an instant to bend and rearrange

Those are my words I'm taking them back

You know I want to hear about it

I wanna sit in silence

I wanna dance around it

'Cause we are different people

I'm not suggesting it's a contest

Or asking for an upset

I just need some time alone

You put your hand on the seat with me

Your fingers crawl through my smokescreen

I grip them way too tight

I saw the whitecaps flood into your knuckles and I

Got beet-red

Slumped my back again

I started running and almost reached the end

You know I want to hear about it

I wanna sit in silence

I wanna dance around it

'Cause we are different people

I'm not suggesting it's a contest

Or asking for an upset

I just need some time alone
