I'm Content With Losing

(album: They're Only Chasing Safety - 2004)

Like I said
"Leave your baggage at the back door"
I'm leaving you the way, I think it should be
We're always
Pulling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way out of them
Talk our way out of them
Talk our way out of them

How does it feel to be on the receiving end
Of this one, of this one?

I'm halfway there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be, dancing on all these changes
So, I walk around with this rope in my hand, rope in my hand

So, I'll tie it around and around
And around, I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic, and leaving us behind
In your eyes, you were the one that tried
Acceptance is what holds us here, and you, my dear, are the one I
Fear tonight, we'll try just one more time!

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready? Are you ready, yeah?!

I'm halfway there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be, dancing on all these changes
So, I walk around with this rope in my hand, rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around
And around, I'll tie me down

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again!
You can't see past my waving hands
Goodbye!

You think so loud, it hurts my ears

I want to know how to get through this
How to get through this without choking up
I want to know how to get through this
How to get through this without choking up
I can't
Feel you!
You're so
Far from me!

(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there
(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there, and it's all on me!
(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there
(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there, and it's all on me!
(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there
(This is what I get for wanting more)
I'm halfway there, and it's all on me!
