Longer That I’m Out Here

[Verse A - 1]
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground
I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it down

[Verse B - 1]
Have you ever? No, never never?
I find that hard to believe
So let's burn the furniture
To see how angry a fire could make me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you say that there's someone that you need to reconnect with
Some scarecrow from high school that you loved but never slept with
A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch on your bandages

[Chorus]
And I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch
I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth
And I paint you on the wall
Yellow, red, green and brown
I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

[Verse B - 2]
Are you better? No, never never?
What does that say about me?
Now let's break the smoke alarm
To see how scared locked windows'll make me

[PreChorus]
Now you say there's a stranger staring sideways in a deep freeze
A loner draped in ivy playing slumlord in his city dream
Some faker with an art form pulling magic tricks on the weak girls up his sleeve

[Chorus]
And I'm choking right along with the words in my throat
I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote
And I think that I was wrong, but I guess I don't know
I figure that I'll wait until you tell me so

[Bridge]
Oh, Oh, Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Verse A - 2]
The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found
And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground

[Outro]
See I miss her every night but I'm blocking it out
And the longer that I'm out here
The longer that I'm out here, whoa
The longer that I'm out here, whoa
The longer that I'm out here, the better you sound
