lyrics

First I’ll grow a backbone then I’ll let you know
when you can come home
I’ll tell you that I’m fine but I’m in bed
constantly checking my phone
When we are swimming over waves that we have caused
you’d have expected that a pause would do us well
but I’m hoping you can tell
that my backbone won’t grow
and I refuse to spend the night on my own

When I set the rules, you follow up
and you keep staying away
I thought I needed space
but it gets lonely at the end of the day
How do I run when I belong, get out of sight
when every time I leave
my hands are gripping tight
Now my backbone won’t grow
and I refuse to spend the night on my own

Early morning worrying
I think you get me wrong
We’ll get nowhere if we’re hurrying
but I hope you’ll come along

Morning’s coming close, you stumble in
I hear your voice through the door
Like nothing ever changed
you leave your shoes lying around like before
When we are swimming over waves that we have caused
you’d have expected that a pause would do us well
but I’m hoping you can tell
that my backbone won’t grow
And I refuse to spend the night on my own

Early morning worrying
I think you get me wrong
We’ll get nowhere if we’re hurrying
but I hope you’ll come along

In the early morning
a sunbeam hits your face
You say you feel it’s warming
I really hope it stays
