Compromise

It is so good it's almost bad

With me you'll see I can make everything seem sad

Without you my life was so bland

I watched it slip away through my fingers like sand

I forgot how to be happy

People on the train did too

Cynical friends all they did was trap me

In the world without you

What if I don't want to?

Compromise

When all I need is a look

In your eyes

To know that we'll be fine

It's nobody's fault

Then why am I angry?

Am I angry?

It's nobody's fault

Then why am I angry?

Am I angry?

And the higher I got

I knew it would be painful

Would be painful

And the higher I got

I knew i would fall

I would fall

Nameless corners and streets

Bear witness to us

I can recall the number of every bus

That we took at night

With you sleeping on my shoulder

Bringing me closer

To the ground

But I'm on top of the world

In the same shitty city

You're an angel and I'm a kite

With poetry written all over me

Who is steering down there

I didn't have much time to decide

I'm looking for where we both could land

You're looking for a room to hide

Compromise

When all I need is a look

In your eyes

To know that I could die

You have it all figured out

And I am just angry

I'm just angry

You have it all figured out

And I am just angry

I'm just angry

And the higher I got

I knew it would be painful

Would be painful

And the higher I got

I knew i would fall

I would fall
