lyrics

draw your x's
draw your guns
can we just call this even?

drop our blades
sheathe our tongues
take a moment from this deadly standoff

i’m not trying to play any games
If you see me pulling away

i’m falling too far
and slipping too fast into the crash, the crash
so i’m holding back
even as i hold on to all the things you are

what if i'm not enough or the fire flies away?
left burning up in your atmosphere
in my dreams you’d reappear for years and years and years and years

not trying to play any games
i just find certain words hard to say

when i’m falling too far
and slipping too fast into the crash, the crash
so i’m holding back
even as i hold on to all the things you are

and i've been waiting on forever for forever
taking two steps forward,
now i’m ten steps back, oh
gentle, have patience going over
i’m cradling your heart as we give in to that

falling too far
and slipping too fast into the crash, the crash
so i’m holding back
even as i hold on to all the things you are

draw your x's
draw your guns
can we just call this even
