lyrics
I wanna shotgun it back
like a man lost in the desert
slowly dying of thirst
while circling birds
signal a mirage
a mirage
I'm trying hard
to convince myself
that nothing’s quite as bad as it may seem
I’m starting from a place so far from believing anything
These memories may fade
These feelings will linger tomorrow
And there’s a bridge I wanna buy
I'll leave self-doubt and journey out as I cross to the other side
I dream of roads that are paved with gold and water turns to wine
turns to wine
I'm trying hard
to convince myself
that nothing’s quite as bad as it may seem
I’m starting from a place so far from believing anything
These memories may fade
These feelings will linger tomorrow
I bought it hook, line, and sinker
fooled me once, now fool me twice
cause these rose-colored glasses
are losing their shine
losing their shine
Won’t someone pull the wool over my eyes?
I’m ready to turn the page
and bury my convictions six feet deep
I’m chasing these horizons endlessly
while circling birds signal a mirage
like a man lost in the desert
slowly dying of thirst
while circling birds
signal a mirage
a mirage
I'm trying hard
to convince myself
that nothing’s quite as bad as it may seem
I’m starting from a place so far from believing anything
These memories may fade
These feelings will linger tomorrow
And there’s a bridge I wanna buy
I'll leave self-doubt and journey out as I cross to the other side
I dream of roads that are paved with gold and water turns to wine
turns to wine
I'm trying hard
to convince myself
that nothing’s quite as bad as it may seem
I’m starting from a place so far from believing anything
These memories may fade
These feelings will linger tomorrow
I bought it hook, line, and sinker
fooled me once, now fool me twice
cause these rose-colored glasses
are losing their shine
losing their shine
Won’t someone pull the wool over my eyes?
I’m ready to turn the page
and bury my convictions six feet deep
I’m chasing these horizons endlessly
while circling birds signal a mirage
