[Verse 1]
I've been hiding out, running from the curse of the blackened eye, uh-huh
Darlin' I can feel it comin' everytime
I sat around last year wishing so many times that I would die, uh-huh
Left it all and now I can see the night
[Chorus]
It's true
True, it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow
[Verse 2]
It ain't the letting go it's more about the things that you take with, uh-huh
And I can feel it getting closer with every kiss
You gotta beat or join 'em, try to act surprised
Just flip a coin, 'cause I'm too bored to lie
[Chorus]
It's true
True, it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow
[Bridge]
Always said I should work on my escape
Have a heart too long, it's bound to break
Acting out the opus of your last eternal ache
Boy, just sing the song for heaven's sake
[Chorus]
It's true
True, it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow
It's true
True, it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Lost it all anyhow
[Outro]

Northeast sun
Yeah, Northeast sun
