Sycophant

(album: B Sides (06-17) - 2018)

That's a number when you get down and it all falls apart
There's a reason to book in and a reason to start
Blasting up and on the highway, see you walk away
There's a thousand to leave but just one here to stay

I just wanna be
Sycophant, your company
Leave me out to dry on the line
The rumour back in summertime

Brought up in the love fever, fistful of rage
I promised myself I'd leave her if I tear the page
Now, it's running down the spine to the dust on the shelf
Commiserate myself on my own mental health

Loving always got a leader, loving always has a sign
Loving always get you beat up, love ain't always a crime
Love ain't always gonna catch you, hold you to the floor
Love ain't ever gonna leave you, gonna come back for more

I just wanna be
Sycophant, your company
Leave me out to dry on the line
The rumour back in summertime

Follow along down a wheel-spinning track
So far from home, I can't find my way back
Picking up speed, and telling me, "Relax"
I'm so far gone, why would I do that?

There's a hole in my heart where your heart used to be
I can and I did lose everything, but I can't lose me
There's a hole in your heart where my heart used to be
You can and you did lose everything, but you can't lose me

I just wanna be
Sycophant, your company
Leave me out to dry on the line
The rumour back in summertime
I just wanna be
Sycophant, your company
Leave me out to dry on the line
The rumour back in summertime
