Gilded Age

Lyrics

There was a time I could look in your eye Without word of a lie I could say that I was trying I was young and the truth was a drug I could not get enough so I moved to supplying but We were smart, we would never be caught Always met in your car, always dropped you in a different place I heard you caught a blade It was slow when we started to know That I just couldn't hold up the weight of the gravity Always there pulling things from the air You said, "I used to care, well I used to do a lot of things" You were a bird and you wouldn't be told that the weight of the world Was trying to pull you down to me You floated out to sea I couldn't make, couldn't make it right You never broke from my line of sight Making new valleys in the wake of all these shrinking seas We were making new valleys in the wake of all these shrinking seas It was slow when we started to know That I just couldn't hold up the weight of the gravity Always there, pulling things from the air You said, "I used to care, well I used to do a lot of things" You were a bird and you wouldn't be told that the weight of the world Was trying to pull you down to me You floated out to sea I couldn't make, couldn't make it right, couldn't make it right You never broke from my line of sight, my line of sight Making new valleys in the wake of all these shrinking seas We were making new valleys in the wake of all these shrinking seas You were standing on the shore yelling out at the lake But the lake didn't make the mistakes that you made And the lake didn't care 'bout the man that you wanted to be You could see when it all echoed back to you Standing on the shore yelling out at the lake But the lake didn't want, didn't yearn, didn't wait And the lake didn't care about the man that you wanted to be You could see when it all echoed back to me Standing on the shore yelling out at the lake But the lake didn't make the mistakes that you made And the lake didn't care 'bout the man that you wanted to be You could see when it all echoed back to me Standing on the shore yelling out at the lake But the lake didn't make, didn't learn, didn't wait And the lake didn't care about the man that you wanted to be That you wanted to be That you wanted to be That you wanted to be That you wanted to
