lyrics

Come on turn the lights down low
Let's take it far too fast
Never wait never want never worry
Nevermind cuz it's never gonna last
Hey was it not enough to take back all that you had given up
Your pride your life I was living
Your words never left me so far down
Was it not enough to leave me here for another one
Your time your eyes I don't need it
I find that I want you even more
James, where did we go wrong?
There's nothing left to give
Hold on to the weight of the bottle
At no point will you ever set this down
Drink up til you get to the bottom
There's no way that she'll ever want you now
What it is, what it's not
Count me in or cut me off
Like deadweight, you're dead to me
Come on promised everything
Given you the world
Don't start don't stop get ready
Don't watch cuz we're burning this one down
Hey, was it not enough to pull you in when I come undone
Your eyes your lies are forgiven
And i'm on the outside looking in
Was it not enough to watch me fall for another one
Don't wait don't want you to worry
I know that you never would back down
Is there something you wanna say?
So say it now
Count me in, cut me off
What it is, what it's not
What you see is what you get; wait
Well goddam
I wanna watch you run
