Listen (Listen)
Seein' you got ritualistic
(Listen)
Cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause I'm fallin' apart
Tension (Tension)
Between us just like picket fences (fences)
You got issues that I won't mention for now

'Cause we're fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways, I can't blame you, no
No
Passionate from miles away

Harder buildin' trust from a distance (distance)
I think we should rule out commitment for now

You're just doing that to get even (even)
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away

Passin' up on my old ways, I can't blame you, no
No
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say

Passin' up on my old ways, I can't blame you, no
