The Drought

Lyrics

Lyrics from Live Performance [Verse 1] When we broke up I was not in a good place Wore a ponytail for months 'Cause of that time you said you liked it I try to find a reason But boy, you were a swing state You shut your eyes and toss a coin And call that "I've decided" [Verse 2] Breakfast in the hotel Sleepless in Seattle Honest in your sweatshirt Lying in your bedroom Sure, I gave you my love But only what you could handle The rest I kept a secret Knowing we'd be dead soon [Chorus] I have lеt go Your body hitting the ground, it echoed Your hеart's for the vultures now I play the Metro I'm better and she says she said so I do no longer want to turn around It takes time and it takes distance Turning love into indifference It's brutal work, you have to sweat them out But one day your hair is soft again And you'll know you outlasted the drought [Verse 3] I couldn't talk And then I couldn't shut up Turning you into Goliath When I never was a David Falling for you, baby I thought I'd hit a gold rush But the closer you got to me The more I depreciated [Chorus] I have let go Your body hitting the ground, it echoed Your heart's for the vultures now I play the Metro I'm better and she says she said so I do no longer want to turn around It takes time and it takes distance Butterflies from someone different With no idea where you are living now And I say that with no interest So I know I outlasted the drought [Bridge] Barefoot on the boatside Screaming through the stadium I am not thinking 'bout you It's wild I ever did Now you are just a phantom I left in California And they might know your name there But Sydney's never heard of it [Chorus] Now I've repent so And I leave you in every falsetto Your heart's for the vultures now I play the Metro I stand up on that stage and let go I do not look for you in this whole crowd It takes time and it takes courage To climb your own hair out the turret And let the memories show themselves out Then one day your hair is soft again And you'll know you outlasted Yeah, one day you are in love again And you'll know you outlasted the drought
