amateur eyes - things that hold us back lyrics
[verse 1]
seven days you had to let me know
and several different ways to let me go
but you did not let that show
and we suffocated slowly
[chorus]
second takes and big mistakes
the things that hold us back
cause if the smallest rock
can throw a freight train
flying off the track
i don’t even know how
we’ll begin to fix this mess
maybe in the end
it winds up fixing us instead
but that won’t change
anything
that won’t change
anything
[verse 2]
i swear i saw your footprints in the snow
straight up from the driveway to the porch
but i never will be sure
cause i did not hear the door
oh
[chorus]
second takes and big mistakes
the things that hold us back
cause if the smallest rock
can throw the freight train
flying off the track
i don’t even know how
we’ll begin to fix this mess
maybe in the end
it winds up fixing us instead
that won’t change
anything
that won’t change
anything
[verse 3]
it’s one thing to concern yourself
with someone else’s breathing
another thing entirely
to know their heart is beating
[chorus]
second takes and big mistakes
the things that hold us back
it’s like the smallest rock
can throw a freight train
flying off the track
i don’t even know how
we’ll begin to fix this mess
maybe in the end
it winds up fixing us instead
that won’t change
anything
that won’t change
anything
