lyrics

she was alone, saw the light on the phone
in headlights she stands, she may not wanna know

'cause you know what you find can put faults in the lines
but you don’t wanna play the fool

contemplate these lies
we had a good thing
hope it was worth it
to make you feel alive
just to bring me down
temporary places we hide

so turn up the lights and dilute all the white
trippin' again by the tales in their eyes

'cause you know what they say can change based on the day
but you don’t wanna play the fool

confiscate these lies
we had a good thing
hope it was worth it
to make you feel alive
just to bring me down
temporary places we hide

oh counsellor
could you counsel her
into leaving in the night
oh counsellor
could you counsel her
this suitcase is for life

'cause you know what you find can put faults in the lines
but you don’t wanna play the fool
