Barriers Down

We had birthdays
We had down days
We saw things the other wouldn't believe
And we got hurt to different degrees

I've got habits
I've got a world before you
It's not like back in the day when all it would take was an undefined pull

I've got reasons
For being the way that I am
No I don't want you to change
If it goes against the life that you planned

We had birthdays
We had down days
We saw things the other wouldn't believe
And we got hurt to different degrees

We made mistakes
Learnt our own way
But we swim out when there's sharks around
We both live life with the barriers down

I was honest
Laid out my Sunday brain
Couldn’t keep it inside so I drove through the night while you worked until late

Whatever you do to me it keeps me calm but it isn’t enough no
We need to talk, talk

We had birthdays
We had down days
We saw things the other wouldn't believe
And we got hurt to different degrees

And we made mistakes
Learnt our own way
But we swim out when there's sharks around
We both live life with the barriers down

Whatever you do to me
Whatever you do to me
Whatever you do to me

Whatever you do to me it keeps me calm but it isn’t enough no
We need to talk, talk

We had birthdays
We had down days
We saw things the other wouldn't believe
And we got hurt to different degrees

And we made mistakes
Learnt our own way
But we swim out when there's sharks around
We both live life with the barriers down

We’ll be fine we’re built for worse
With the barriers down
Better straight than in reverse

We made mistakes
Learnt our own way
But we swim out when there's sharks around
We both live life with the barriers down
