lyrics

Nothing left to say
As we drove away
But Carolina hangs in a memory

Said it was unkind
But I meant it right
And I’m still trying to fight for us

Yeah it’s true
We don’t know what to do
As we wait
For our arrival
In a black hole
Looking up

I get away
*Felt like water running through*
And I pray
*But what was it you thought I’d do?*

Then you spoke out in paints
And I kept drawing blanks
Like I always do

See I don’t know the reasons
Lord I’m trying to be near them
But I don’t want to walk out on you

And is it what you wanted?
Or is it what you needed?
You look at me so fearfully
I’m feeling so defeated
Leave it alone

Look if I knew what to say, I’d have said it last night
I had a dream where I got it all right
But everything gets caught in the writing
And when I talk well I can’t seem to fit it in the timing
I’m looking everyway that I shouldn’t
And then I start to say things that I wouldn’t
And still you’re looking all expectantly
Like you only want the best of me
And I don’t think I can be honest
Sharing good things when I’ve got em
But leaving no space for the problem
I take it back
I’m looking through a lock when you’re talking to me
You turn the camera off and you pocket the key,
Still, I’ll be here for the driving
As long as you are there for the riding
And when it’s all been told

I always keep your old sweaters
For cold weather
So when I walk out
I feel you
Those four letters
Aren’t forever
I could wait
For our arrival--

Old sweaters
For cold weather
So when I walk out
I feel you
Those four letters
Aren’t forever
I could wait
For our arrival

In a black hole
I’m in a black hole
I’m in a black hole
In a black hole
I’m in a black hole
I’m in a black hole
I could wait
For our arrival
In a black hole
Looking up.
