Facedown Domino

(album: Happiness, Guaranteed. - 2022)

Wait home by the phone
Feeling estranged from the place you've grown
Another facedown domino
While you're reaching for another second chance

Closer
When you're standing where you stand
Closer
When you don't know where to land

Closer
When you're standing where you stand
Closer
When you don't know where to land
Doesn't feel the way you wanted
Did it go the way you planned?
Doesn't feel like you have earned it
Are you doing all you can?

Put it all alone
Try to erase what you can't outgrow
Into your veins, it's hell, I know
Well, there is never gonna be a better plan

Closer
When you're standing where you stand
Closer
When you don't know where to land
Doesn't feel the way you wanted
Did it go the way you planned?
Doesn't feel like you have earned it
Are you doing all you can?

'Cause it's not enough when you feel ignored
Are you battered up, do you still want more?
If it's not now, when? 'Cause you can't pretend
That the drugs don't work, but they make it worse
You can have your cake when it's in the dirt
You can play it safe, you can make it work
Is it all too much, all this growing up?
Are you losing touch with the ones you love?
You can chip the paint, you can make mistakes
Date on your page, don't slip away
Don't slip away, don't slip away
Don't slip

Closer
When you're standing where you stand
Closer
When you don't know where to land
Doesn't feel the way you wanted
Did it go the way you planned?
Doesn't feel like you have earned it
Are you doing all you can?
