partners in irony - control (feat. meg hollobaugh) lyrics

[verse 1: jcm]
gl-ss on your eyes, staring through me like i’m not here
television circulating static like it’s off-air
spread your papers all over the bed like it’s not shared
the way that you manipulate the game, babe it’s not fair

feel like i’m along for the ride
but in a different car on the opposite side
of the park where we first laid eyes
didn’t know you then, and ain’t sh-t change now
something like a stranger in my own d-mn house
tell me what had happened to that first date smile?
same one that told me you were down to help it all work out
and make sure that we don’t both drown
now we floating down the creek without a paddle
rough waves by the day got me feeling rattled
and i know this ain’t how it should go
tell me, there’s gotta be a way to speak without a battle
does peace bore you? how do you not see the things i leave for you?
girl i breathe for you
is it too much to ask for reciprocation
in a world full of givers who would rather take
’cause i’ve done almost everything i can for you, though
your end of the bargain isn’t fastened to hold
how do i open you up?
it shouldn’t be tough for me to come in and fill the gap in your soul
all i wanna do is break the padlocks
so that we can be together and stop
arguing and maybe start again
take our ship so we can get it off the d-mn, rocks

[hook: meg hollobaugh]

this is not what it appears to be
if i look like i’m crying then you’re missing
everything i say when you’re not here
falling alone is just lonely my dear
i won’t say anything
i won’t say anything
because if i do, i’ll say something that i’ll regret
i love–

[verse 2: oliver]

you know i’m not sure where this puts us
we’re somewhere between lost and found
like maybe we found each other
but we lose ourselves ’till we hit the ground
and i fall hard, you see these scars
and you touch, and i swear that i wanna break, but i know
this isn’t time or place, but you say “who needs time?”
then you begin to trace
a picture that contains you and me
and i want so badly to just believe
that’s what happens when you want it so bad
wanna go back to where we’re kids like make-believe
but darling, everything that we are
is everything that will tear us down
and you say that you understand
but the fourth line came and went, then came back around
and the ground swells, and your hand’s there
but when my fingers reach, yours dissipate
because my own fears are on display here
it’s unfair for me to make you wait
i see the way, that they look at you
you’re perfect baby, and i know that you
will tell me you’re anything but
but i know that the words i speak just ain’t enough
to capture everything you are to me
but the fear’s still there, and it’s real to me
because the things we say have weight to me
and when i feel you close, i can barely breath
and when we’re alone, you shed your disguise and
my fears only lift as they multiply and
i want you to know that there’s no denying
that every angel, is terrifying

[hook: meg hollobaugh (travis mollohan)]

this is not what it appears to be (appears to be)
if i look like i’m crying then you’re missing (you’re missing, yeah)
everything i say when you’re not here (you’re not here)
falling alone is just lonely my dear (lonely my dear)
i won’t say anything (i won’t say anything)
i won’t say anything (i won’t say anything)
because if i do, i’ll say something that i’ll regret (i’ll say something that i’ll regret)
i love–

[bridge: meg hollobaugh]

and when the day comes, you will leave me
but you don’t have to (you don’t have to)
but you don’t have to (you don’t have to)
but you don’t have to (you don’t have to)

[outro: oliver and meg hollobaugh (jcm)]

i just don’t know (i just don’t know)
what do you want from me?
i gave you my all (i gave you my all)
you know i don’t fall easy
what’s left to say (what’s left to say)
since your ears don’t hear me
i have to go (i have to go)
why can’t you fall with me?
