Longer That I'm Out Here Lyrics


The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it downHave you ever, no, never, never
I find that hard to believe
So let's burn the furniture
To see how angry a fire could make meNow you say that there's someone
That you need to reconnect with
Some scarecrow from high school
That you loved but never slept with
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch
On your bandagesAnd I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth
And I paint you on the wall, yellow, red, green and brown
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it outAre you better, no, never, never
What does that say about me?
Now let's break the smoke alarm
To see how scared locked windows will make meNow you say there's a stranger

Staring sideways in a deep freeze
A loner draped in ivy
Playing slumlord in his city dream, oh oh
A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks
On the weak girls up his sleeveAnd I'm choking right along with the words in my throat
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote
And I think that I was wrong but I guess I don't know
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me soThe longer that I'm out here the better you sound
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing groundI miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out
And the longer that I'm out here
The longer that I'm out here
The longer that I'm out here
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
