Like Vaseline

I know you look at me
Like someone who's like Vaseline
So slippery I can't escape
The way I feel when I'm awake

I see you standing there
Those eyes and Baby shambles hair
You stall, you start again
Fall hard and taste like saccharine

And if we're gonna go down
Well then it might as well hurt
And if you wanna start now
Will you make sure that I'm there first?
Because I don't jump that fast these days
And sometimes I'm a total waste
I'm trying hard I swear I am
It's hard to tell when I can't stand
But I'm still here

The eyes always die first
The dam we built began to burst
Dingy hotels lost their charm
Our days were focused on our arms

They said we'd fade to black
But somehow I never believed that
Back seat blues they felt so sad
Won't resurrect til you get back

And if we're gonna go down
Well then it might as well hurt
And if you're gonna start now
Will you make sure that I'm there first?
Because I don't jump that fast these days
And sometimes I'm a total waste
I'm trying hard I swear I am
It's hard to tell when I can't stand
But I'm still here

I know you look at me
Like someone who's like Vaseline
So slippery I can't escape
The way I feel
When I'm awake

It's not about cutting ties and leaving
And all the lies and the facts
That they told you were true
But you and me can do our own thing
Our own way
