Fault
Life Lessons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll let you swim through my head like the smoke does
If I can swim through your veins
Like the feeling of being drunk on a Tuesday afternoon
But it's okay when I'm with you
I feel okay when I'm with you

Tiptoe in your bare feet
past the spot where the air conditioner leaks
End this conversation we're just straining our voices now
End this conversation we're just losing our patience now
Falling apart, I haven't done it in months
And I feel so much calmer now
'Cause I can break my bones and know you're there

Everyone gets lost sometimes but
You know that you'll find me here
You'll find me here

It's hard to grasp
That everyone around me wants to stop existing
And I'm right there with them
Yeah we're scared but we're honest

Yeah we're scared but we're honest
Yeah we're scared but we're honest
Yeah we're scared but we're honest
Yeah we're scared but we're honest

I bet you hate it being back in your old room
Above the garage (above the garage)
On the steps with your clothes
'Cause you know
That what you had figured out
Lost all momentum with doubt




If it feels worthless it is
If it feels pointless it is
