before you open up a wound
make sure you’re the one who’s bleeding
i don’t know what kind of life
you think you’ve been leading

this isn’t what you wanted
& you want to make it right
you don’t think it will happen
but it might

it was easy to buy
but hard to believe
i was kneeling in the dirt
with blood on my knees

i thought the world might be ending
but then, so did mum & dad
so i carried on with everything i had

now i’m all tapped out
& i don’t know where to begin
it’s not history i’m dying for
it’s not the future i’m living in

& i want to get ahead
but i can’t get ahead of you
gears are turning in my mind
towards something i’d never do

still, i think it’s comforting
to be running out of time
you wouldn’t want this view
without the climb

now i’m all tapped out
& i don’t know where to begin
it’s not history i’m dying for
it’s not the future i’m living in
