–fence–

I don’t mind
stayin here inside
when it rains we’re stuck until the leaves are dry
then we could go out walkin in the sun

I don’t mind
stayin out all night
watchin stars fadin in and outta site
stuck out on a roof lyin on our backs

sealed fates
in landlocked states
don’t it make you wanna tell a lie to everyone

i don’t mind
bein left behind
look at the dent in the pillow that was nexta mine
slowly rise and disappear

cut me in
please don’t cut me out
i’ll begin by ignorin what it’s all about
there’s no time for freedom anymore

wake me up at 5 am
just to make me watch you go and then come back again
see your breath: a breadcrumb trail
don’t you let it take away all the things
you said you’d do to me when you were older

wake me up at 5 am
just to make me watch you go and then come back again
see your breath: a breadcrumb trail
don’t you let it
don’t you let it
and don’t you let it
catch you cause you’re sittin on the fence
