Regret by The Lulls In Traffic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check
Awkward and sensual, a drunk intellectual
I eat your shadow for breakfast, now it won't let me go
Social obligations remember me
When I helped you lay the bricks
Mason, tending sheep
I’m just another blurry face in the background of someone's home video
And as far as pity goes, I call this city home in vain
Every promise I broke along the way
Ashamed and living long
Closed narcissistic textbook for all the right reasons
But still left shook 'cause there’s nothing left in this town
Spit at my reflection 'cause I let you all down

[Chorus]
Maybe I searched for something I could never find
Now I think every moment how I've wasted all my time
And I’m screaming out, “Don’t let me down”
Yeah, well, don't let me down
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a sour grape syndrome that deserves its own attendant
With a smiley face and a silver pendant
I penned it, but I forgot logic in the backseat of the taxi
Now I’m stranded on earth fighting the waves of the black sea
I had a craving to crave, I live in my own light
But in this labyrinth maze, a wrong shared is half right
Now I'm baked out of colors and pasted notes
And I awake to the mother of my wasted hope
Hope my brain can cope with another painful stroke
Of a brush with paint that flows deep with the veins that I’m dosed
Fumbling over the memories maybe so close they linger
Lost in the calm of the winter, marked by tasteless jokes
Was a patient bloke, but my patience broke
Now I’m draped in the foam of salty seas with waves that choke
This damn disease I know
It makes me dream of better histories glittering with gleaming gold
I wish i could take it all back
Every mistake, every thought that I ever had
Erased and gone in the morning fog in a flash
But it's never easy as that when dreams are defeated
And dragged to the ground
I'll scream to clouds now
Nothing lasts
[Chorus]
Maybe I searched for something I could never find
Now I think every moment how I've wasted all my time
And I’m screaming out, “Don’t let me down”
Yeah, well, don't let me down
[Chorus]
Maybe I searched for something I could never find
Now I think every moment how I've wasted all my time
And now there's nothing here so I left it all behind
And I’m screaming out, “Don’t let me down”
Maybe I searched for something I could never find
Now I think every moment how I've wasted all my time
And I’m screaming out, “Don’t let me down”
Yeah, well, don't let me down
