There's no good way to say this is gonna sting

The rain is picking up, the jumps are raised an inch

You say that it happens

I hate it's happening to you

I don't believe in fate, except for when I do

Do I believe in love? I feel so strange for you

You say you'll hang on

When everyone is hung on you

And you're still looking for

Red stars at the river-end bars, you're killing your calm

And sipping it like juice

And I've been ringing alarms

I don't want your heart, I don't want no harm

Just a good day soon

'Cause you're killing your calm

There's no fair way to play, there's no right card to choose

There's no safe way to stray and no right words to use

You feel that you're sinking

When every week is so blue

And you're still looking for

Red stars at the river-end bars, you're killing your calm

And sipping it like juice

And I've been ringing alarms

I don't want your heart, I don't want no harm

Just a good day soon

'Cause you're killing your calm

Round and round the karma bin

Nothing comes out, but a lot'll go in from you

A lot'll go in from you

Lash to lash, the whip abused

It's a bully of a hand, but look, it's bleeding too

Bleeding same as you

And you're still looking for

Red stars at the river-end bars, you're killing your calm

And sipping it like juice

And I've been ringing alarms

I don't want your heart, I don't want no harm

Just a good day soon

'Cause you're killing your calm

Red stars at the river-end bars, you're killing your calm

And sipping it like juice

And I've been ringing alarms

I don't want your heart, I don't want no harm

Just a good day soon

'Cause you're killing your calm
