[Verse 1]
It's earnestly said
My resolution is dead
If you refuse to see the sunlight
Moving through defenceless front lines
I keep on finding your hair
A constant presence of fear
And difficulties more unknown
The air is thicker where I'm going
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not a dark situation
I'd rather tumble than be taking it slow
I had a hard time figuring out
It was no wonder why you go
[Chorus]
Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I'd never remember
The image that would call you back to me
[Verse 2]
Four months and a day
What other sucker would wait
For someone else to take advantage
When all you give is took for granted
A long-distance brawl
Or sympathetically called
Consideration taken daily
To think that you would hope to shake me
[Pre-Chorus]
It was a bad hesitation
A little stumble in the back of your soul
Another hard time alone in yourself
It was a step too far to know
[Bridge]
Whatever I can do, you go treat me indifferent
A flicker of appeal, wouldn't kill you to give in
Another little dream falls at my feet
[Chorus]
Omissions never flare, they go out if you let them
Changing every year, I was cool for a second
Find me in the fall, swept underneath
Forgetting every charm, took a bullet together
You could pull apart, so I'd never remember
The image that would call you back to me
[Outro]
Ooh, na, na, na
Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me, ooh, na, na, na
Call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me
