[Verse 1]
Are you looking at the husk of a painting
Hoping that the color will somehow appear again?
Canvas rearranging and changing
Shifting to a pattern you want to see remembered?
[Verse 2]
Are you looking for genies
Wishing for some wishes to waste on existential nonsense?
Are you hoping for reason
Caught in the middle of a war of telling lies?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I wish you'd tell me if you're looking for something
I'm trying to find a way to help you out
Yeah, but you're just too quick to let your heart slip
So I'll let you figure it out
[Chorus]
And I'm stuck on the evening
Wondering if the life you lead is drifting
Give me just a little bit – no, help me
I'll wait for demons, wait for reasons to stay
But all I'm getting is your spare change
[Verse 3]
Did you strike out on chances?
Is your head not letting you back in to other times?
Looking at our perfect romances
Wanting and waiting and striking out again?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I wish you'd tell me if you're looking for something
I'm trying to find a way to help you out
Yeah, but you're just too quick to let your heart slip
So I'll let you figure it out
[Chorus]
And I'm stuck on the evening
Wondering if the life you lead is drifting
Give me just a little bit – no, help me
I'll wait for demons, wait for reasons to stay
But all I'm getting is your spare change
[Bridge]
Well, I'm not the best always
Just a little bit of a cold bite inside me
Feel it when I open my eyes
Come on, try me. I'll suspend all my
Disbelieving sentences to help you
I'm trying just a little harder than healthy's defined as
Could you give me something to work with?
What's with the walls around you?
Spend my whole life just trying to break through
[Bridge]
Well, I'm not the best always
Just a little bit of a cold bite inside me
Feel it when I open my eyes
Come on, try me. I'll suspend all my
Disbelieving sentences to help you
I'm trying just a little harder than healthy's defined as
Could you give me something to work with?
What's with the walls around you?
Spend my whole life just trying to break through
[Bridge]
Well, I'm not the best always
Just a little bit of a cold bite inside me
Feel it when I open my eyes
Come on, try me. I'll suspend all my
Disbelieving sentences to help you
I'm trying just a little harder than healthy's defined as
Could you give me something to work with?
What's with the walls around you?
Spend my whole life just trying to break through

And I'm stuck on the evening
Wondering if the life you lead is drifting
Give me just a little bit – no, help me
I'll wait for demons, wait for reasons to stay
