Taking Down the Tent by Evan Greer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I'm taking down the tent
Where we lived for a month
And everything's fucked up
Everything's fucked up
You're out on an island
You're waiting for a bus
We're both feeling too grown up
The holes in our plans sewn up
[Chorus]
By the threads of insecurities
Buttons, patches, blank CDs
The covers that I always stole
Still smelled like you somehow
And the smoke that we had stuffed
Into our lungs to ease the pain
Brought back memories of rain
A flood of tears that never came
As it broke into our soaking bones
Soaked into our broken homes
I didn't want it to end this way
I didn't wanna do this on the phone
[Verse 2]
And I'm pulling up the stakes
That kept us tethered down
To this strange suburban town
We drove all around
Looking for something to distract us
And the changing of the leaves
Even changes things that you were
Trying not to see
[Chorus]
The context of our codependency
The drunk messages you left for me
I can't listen to those songs again
They're burned into my memory
Like when we got walked in on by your dad
During the best sex that we'd ever had
We never thought it'd get so good
I never thought it'd get this bad
Well I'm taking down the tent
Where we lived for a month
And everything's fucked up
Everything's fucked up
You're out on an island
You're waiting for a bus
We're both feeling too grown up
The holes in our plans sewn up
[Chorus]
By the threads of insecurities
Buttons, patches, blank CDs
The covers that I always stole
Still smelled like you somehow
And the smoke that we had stuffed
Into our lungs to ease the pain
Brought back memories of rain
A flood of tears that never came
As it broke into our soaking bones
Soaked into our broken homes
I didn't want it to end this way
I didn't wanna do this on the phone
[Verse 2]
And I'm pulling up the stakes
That kept us tethered down
To this strange suburban town
We drove all around
Looking for something to distract us
And the changing of the leaves
Even changes things that you were
Trying not to see
[Chorus]
The context of our codependency
The drunk messages you left for me
I can't listen to those songs again
They're burned into my memory
Like when we got walked in on by your dad
During the best sex that we'd ever had
We never thought it'd get so good
I never thought it'd get this bad
