Brakes

(album: Three Year Stint - 2023)

Tell me something I don't know
I'm better left here on my own
And if your car breaks down
Yeah you'll know what you lost
'Cause I'm here in the rearview mirror
It's all downhill from here

You tell me something I can believe in
I try and keep myself from leaving
And if we're both held bound
We can't be saved at a cost
Yeah we're lost in the wreckage
And we both don't make a sound

I know you're craving something
Something you can't control
I wish those brakes were pumping
But seems your heart's run cold
Are we too late for nothing?
Don't say the time [?]
Now I wish those brakes were pumping
So the end won't have to unfold

If I don't [?] myself I'm gonna break back down
You took a page outta my book and now it's playing out
I wanna hear your way if there's another way out
[?] the words you wanna say right now
Ooh, but we're never gonna let 'em out

I know you're craving something
Something you can't control
I wish those brakes were pumping
But seems your heart's run cold
Are we too late for nothing?
Don't say the time [?]
Now I wish those brakes were pumping
So the end won't have to unfold

Tell me something I don't know
I'm better left here on my own
And if your car breaks down
Yeah you'll know what you lost
'Cause I'm here in the rearview mirror
It's all downhill from here

I know you're craving something
Something you can't control
I wish those brakes were pumping
But seems your heart's run cold
Are we too late for nothing?
Don't say the time [?]
Now I wish those brakes were pumping
So the end won't have to unfold
