about

This is one of our favorite songs to play. Its upbeat and climbing. Its a bit frantic and I think it works well with Ben's subject matter of broken relationships.
At around 3:12 is the beginning of the outro which I hear it as sounding like a big jump skier rushing down the ramp and then hitting the edge and cruising, and gliding to a stop. . .

lyrics

Lyrics by B. Haag

You and I have been here before now
this point where our hearts fall
out of beat and I don't know if I can wait for you
for us to be in cadence yet again

Just like before
we've fooled ourselves again
into believing
into believing this charade
into believing this charade

And on the nights we're both lush
we chase our drinks with tears
and all that's said before
spills and stains the carpet floor
spills and stains the carpet floor

Just like before
we've fooled ourselves again
into believing
into believing this charade
into believing this charade

Resentment drips from your fangs
you taste it so do I
it's all we can do to not sink our teeth into
it't all we can do to not sink our teeth into you
it's all we can do
it's all we can do

Just like before
we've fooled ourselves again
into believing
into believing this charade
into believing this charade

False friends
powder white lies
if that's what you want lets call this a tie
False friends powder white lines
if that's what you want lets call this a tie
