What Stirs The Heart

i painted my nails in the darkest possible shade

i was ready to bend over backwards and orchestrate

the next chapter of me at your side

you said can you still jump

i still asked again how high

don't worry i'm still treading water

i'm still twenty one

just a lamb for the slaughter

i'm still uncorrelated

and because that

perpetually agitated

i'm rolling in the grave that i dug

i'm dating someone but afraid to make love

oh save me from apathy

this curse

it hurts

you gave me

so i hang up the phone think of you on the other line

walking in your front yard in the golden hour light

even the wind remembers the shape of us in the glare

but you moved on, its casual

feels wrong that i still care

don't worry i'm too stubborn to need a favor

i'm only 24 no spectrum of good behavior

when it rains it pours, even better

the wreck before the rainbow

just a storm you'll weather

i'm rolling in the grave that i dug

i'm dating someone but afraid to make love

oh save me from apathy

this curse

it hurts

you gave me

ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah

i got this show on but i'm not really watching

call up my girlfriend let her do all the talking

got a guy begging to come over

but it's hard to play pretend

it's hard to stay sober

learn a new set of back roads in a one horse town

call it passion but it drives you into the ground

it's easy to see who takes advantage

all of my hot blood so hard to manage

how'd you make it look so easy

how'd he makes it looks so easy now

ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah

i'm climbing from the grave that i dug

completely rogue i'm falling love

oh save me now!

this curse unveiled

and i'm not sure how

so we flatlined right at the junction of

what stirs the heart

what you need to function

can't wait for the scar

i tore off the bandage

wear an open wound

permanent damage

how'd you make it look so easy
