White Dress Lyrics by Ayo River

Failed State

2017

[Verse 1]
I left out the house and locked up the door
And looked at the phone like what is it for
I tripped by the pool and bled on the floor
And told you I would walk back home
Like forty miles, drunk, alone
Somewhere in the night I turn to
And I would say anything if it hurt you
Sleep it off and start tomorrow
Words and gestures I have borrowed
From some other time
[Pre-Chorus]
I get lost as a matter of habit
Only want it if I can’t have it
Three days out and I’m already crashing
I want it like, picture perfect, instant classic
[Chorus]
Something in the way you moved
Stayed all night or left a room
Riddled white dress that I woke up with
Things I said that I never meant
Cross your heart and hope to die
Fade into the light
I want it like this one way
And no other will do
Tried to say, I couldn’t tell you
[Pre-Chorus]
I get lost as a matter of habit
Only want it if I can’t have it
Three days out and I’m already crashing
I want it like, picture perfect, instant classic
[Chorus]
Something in the way you moved
Stayed all night or left a room
Riddled white dress that I woke up with
Things I said that I never meant
Cross your heart and hope to die
Fade into the light
I want it like this one way
And no other will do
Tried to say, I couldn’t tell you
