I don’t need you today
Is vanity something that distance could change?
I’m taking pictures of trains
Maybe they’ll help me escape
I don’t care for your pain
But I’m hoping in autumn my feelings will change
You’re tracking our steps in the grey
While I’m counting the breaths I exchange
Tear this building down
Wade through every sound
And I’m starting up some kind of war
Was fidelity fading before?
Sing something cynical, lull me to sleep
I’m a king in a queen bed
But it’s too big for me
You know I loved Tennessee
And the hours we spent driving south through the trees
And I’ll miss New Orleans
But I’m longing for nights not so clean
And are you still living presently?
Or stuck in plans made for someone you were supposed to be?
If you’re lost inside the home that we made
Lean on walls like advice that you gave
When you found yourself a stranger to your ways
You thought you knew who you’d become
And that would make you at peace
But the steps that you mapped out led you astray
And when you did the math
You forgot that things change
How many lovers will you pick up today?
How many others will you pull in to take my place when I'm too far away?
'Cause I’m too far away

Fixed (Acoustic)

There’s an inn by the bay where I’m meeting you
A peculiar place for a rendezvous
I’m struggling with shutting the bathroom door
It keeps getting stuck on the motel floor
And it seems you feel familiar somehow
Your aux cord was broken until now
Feel how the room shifts
Watch how the sound devours it
We’re static inside it all
Listen, we both know
This evening is electric, so
We'll follow and we’ll find out where it goes
Our voices are drowned by a room in red
So we’re using alternate senses to speak instead
And on the beach, we're holding sand and silence by the sea
But first you’re wondering if it’s alright
Delay your flight, for one more night
Tell me how you fixed the sound in your car
And show me, is Fullerton far?
