I used to want the morning, You and me, just hanging around But I can't shake this feeling off, Can't shake this dead-weight off of my back It's a troubled place we scale But we just break it out We give too much... although ... It leaves you cold... oh Got no place else to go, In a daze just hanging around It's a dirt ground we crawl upon, I've stared at your face for much too long It's a troubled place we scale But we just break it out Watch us give too much away It leaves you cold... oh... Cold... oh... cold... I used to want the morning, You and me, just hanging around It's a troubled game we stage Where we just wait it out Watch us give too much away Where we just wait it out And the words you meant to say And the words i give away It leaves you cold... oh... Cold... oh... cold...
