lyrics

CHORUS (x2):
48 hours never took so long
Being good never felt so wrong
I'm losing sleep every night that you are gone
But at least it will help me write this song.

VERSE 1:
I can't live with you, can't live without you,
For most it's not an issue, but I know all about you.
I don't know how to wake up and eat
Without you by my side reminding me to take a drink.
Codependency, always playing hide and seek
While I spend my energy on the secrets that we keep.
You swept me off my feet, I sweeped you in a Sweet,
Secrete you through my skin when I minimize defeat.
You're in my every dream and I'm praying that you'll leave
Or at least the role you're playing will be a bit more discrete
I see a sea of scenes and the seeds are in between
Growing up through the meek as I speak on their needs
But I'm weak with disease and teased by cogitation
You're in all that I see guilty by association
Inflating my lungs ‘til I see spots
Shit, anything to distract these thoughts.

CHORUS (x2):
48 hours never took so long
Being good never felt so wrong
I'm losing sleep every night that you are gone
But at least it will help me write this song.

Verse 2
When I'm with you, I need no other,
But all we seem to do is smother each other. (choking sound),
When I'm with you, I need no other,
But all we seem to do is smother each other.
And when I miss you, it's unlike any hunger
Awakes me from my sleep under sweaty sheets and covers
If I kiss you, I know I won't wanna quit
Then I'm spending every minute on keeping us both lit.
I used to, exercise and stay fit but
You take me as I am so I'm content to sit,
And I don't give a shit that my friends still hit it
It doesn't make me fidget, no it doesn't even matter.
You were here before me, you'll be here after
I'm just afraid that I'm using all my laughter on you,
And no one deserving,
‘Cause when you’re around I'm not good at flirting
I'm not good at speaking, not good at fucking,
They say I need you to write which means I'm good at nothing!

CHORUS (x2):
48 hours never took so long
Being good never felt so wrong
I'm losing sleep every night that you are gone
But at least it will help me write this song.

VERSE 3:
You've never been included in my happy ever after
Yet you've diluted my every chapter
You make me go slow when I need to go faster
I used to call you friend but now I call you master
You used to set me free but now I feel captured
With you watching Netflix on a Hewlett Packard
My life is backwards, I'm feeling awkward
Damn near defeated if not yet conquered.
Onward, they say I gotta march
But I need you like water and I'm feeling so parched
Back arched, pregnant in the parchment
Burning through the segment and smoking out my hardship
Art shit?! Yeah...what use is that?!
Can't put food on the table or clothes on my back
BUT I CAN, in fact I got a plan
To leave you alone and begin again! (said)

CHORUS (x2):
48 hours never took so long
Being good never felt so wrong
I'm losing sleep every night that you are gone
But at least it will help me write this song.
