I’ve been up for days trying to break this gaze at the light from your smile.
And my minds a maze, looking out for ways so I can just stay a while.
So let your lips dress you up like Sunday’s best.
It’s all that I can hope for.
Four years later and I’m still waiting around.
You’re always up for taking me down,
and I’m always down for picking myself up.
Are we losing touch, am I losing out?
I’ll give you something subtle enough to break your concentration.
Cause what we've found's a battleground and the bloodshed's something I can live without.
All year long, we wait for the moments that keep us alive.
And all year long, we knew something would come along and keep us younger.
Just take a step back, a deep breath that won't leave your lungs struggling while you hold your breath.
All year long, we took the steps we knew were in front of us.
And now all we've got are reminders of what we never accomplished.
So let my lips dress you down with promises.
It's all that I can hope for.
Four years still, by now you'd think I’d come around.
You’re always up for taking me down,
and I’m always down for picking myself up.
I can be exactly what you want.
