lyrics

If you are holding me at arm’s length
You cannot hold me in your arms
You say it’s born of self defence
It cannot do me any harm

You say you’re running in your own race
Don’t care what happens at the end
There’s no expression on your own face
You just want us to be friends

I used to be good at this
I’m waiting for a plot twist
Come on baby, don’t offer me a helping hand
With a closed fist
I used to be an angel
That impression didn’t age well
Come on baby, I think I’m going crazy but I can’t tell

If we are starting in a straight line
And we are running just the same
If we don’t finish at the same time
That’s just what happens in the game

If I were running in my own race
And the ending didn’t count
Then if I cared I’d be a disgrace
You’d be right to call it out

Chorus

And the rain’s still coming down, boys
This whole town is just white noise
I’m packing up everything, you’re still saying
That I have a choice, do I have a choice?

I thought that I was good at this
What a bummer of a plot twist
Come on baby, don’t offer me a helping hand
With a closed fist
I used to be an angel
That impression didn’t age well
Come on baby, I think I’m going crazy but I can’t tell
