Lyrics

LONGSHOT

Face in the mirror 4 a.m.
Thought you'd never see her drunk again
It was sweeter years before
Behind solid doors
Made of glass

Something happened one night
You got trapped in a makeshift life
And the bulb burns your fingers
Just before it breaks
In hands too frail to hold there
Own mistakes

Sometimes a long shot pulls through
And frontrunners don't do what they're meant to
You think it sounds allot like you
You?ve been leaving yourself clues

You think everyone's cast their vote
And your starry eyed waning hopes
Display their cruel side
This day is suicide you should have known

Sometimes a long shot pulls through
And frontrunners don't do what they're meant to
You think it sounds allot like you
You?ve been leaving yourself clues

Things come from the past
Taking you to task
For all you leave apart
But the promise of a fresh start
It?s breaking you wide open
So happy to be broken
And leaving her behind

You know this scene it?s too confused
Indecision its just like abuse
Like flies skimming water
And lambs to the slaughter
You?ll be back once more

Because sometimes a long shot pulls through
And frontrunners don't do what they're meant to
You?ve been leaving yourself clues
Cause it sounds alot like you
