My Movements Are a Mystery

Back streets slowly rise from the back seat of your mom’s car
Chase the sun with twists and turns and tolls
Flick sleep from my eye with the ash of a morning smoke
Roll down the window bite the cold

I’m going back to where I first realized my own thoughts were my own
And my mind could open up in different ways than I was told
For it was out of Adelaide
Seventeen and nervous
Spoke to the crowd, told’m what i knew

And my movements are a mystery to anybody including me
Moments few and far between they matter more than anything
Movements are a mystery to anybody including me
Moments few and far between they matter more than anything
They matter more than anything

And I pressed the bit between my teeth and pressed my fingers and watched them bleed
As we drove home over median strips trying not to fall asleep
And you said I had a way with words
So I ran away with yours
But it was too soon
I meant so much more to you

But my movements are a mystery to anybody including me
Moments few and far between they matter more than anything
You said I had a way with words
So I ran away with yours
You said I had a way with words
So I ran away with yours

If I could change anything I wouldn’t cause I don't deserve you right now
But I can’t sleep properly in this little room. It felt so much more like home when I was with you
And I get too drunk when I go out so I just lay around the house we don’t share anymore
Some band I don’t like’s poster isn’t half falling off the bedroom door
Can’t help but miss that
Every creak in the stairs makes me wish that it was you coming back
But I’m too scared to talk so I’ll ignore you when you call
Pretend it doesn't matter anymore
And somehow in this soft white room I can’t help but miss you

But my movements are a mystery to anybody including me
Moments few and far between they matter more than anything
You said I had a way with words
So I ran away with yours
You said I had a way with words
So I ran away with yours
