Still a little premature as I didn't record this to release for streaming/download, due to popular demand I made it available.

wheeeeee

lyrics

For the hundredth time, I'm at a standstill
I can't seem to find the right thing to say
I'm stuck in a loop that you've thrown me for
And I'm not sure anymore if I want to think today

'Cos I'm going in circles, trapped in a stalemate
I can't break free from, but boy how I've tried
Always been too stubborn to let myself fall for love
But I've never cared less about my pride
Than when you said

The ocean was too wide, so I built a bridge for you
You'd never felt the sky, so I packed it up to give to you
Said I'd do all that I can but you're making it that much harder every day
What do you want me to say?

Last night, my potential called me
Said to just fucking make up my mind
But you won't let me take you with me
And for some damn reason, I just can't leave you behind

Watched you bury yourself away in the shadows
That I can't see in, though God knows I've tried
But when I open the blinders to try and let some light in
You pull the curtains shut 'cos you say it hurts your eyes, said

The stars, they shone too bright, so I put them out for you
The moon, it hung too high, so I took it down for you
Said I'd do all that I can but you're making it that much harder every day
What do you want me to say?

You're a rock in a hard place, I'm stuck in the middle
Can't live like this, but can't let go; a paradox, a riddle
And I'm trying not to push too hard, 'cos I know right now you're brittle
But man, if this could just hurt less, just once and just a little

Couldn't take the bitter truths I fed, so I sweetened my lies for you
Didn't believe a word I said, so I made my promises rhyme for you
Thought it'd be easier by now but you're taking it that much harder every day
Well, what do you want me to say?
