Coming Up Short Lyrics by Cuva

2020

[Verse 1]
I've been trying to stop time right near sundown
To try and build a space for you to come around
I want to see your face, oh, can I make you proud
You left without a trace into an open crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
I want it all
The confidence without alcohol

[Chorus]
I won't bother to be lonely
I need anything, you can control this
I need wishful thinking to console me
As I'm coming up short

[Verse 2]
The only reason you came and haven't left yet
You wanted something cool to post on the internet
Sometimes I give you time I know that I'll regret
Maybe I can do better I just haven't seen it yet

[Pre-Chorus]
I want it all
But I'm a visitor and I don't belong

[Chorus]
I won't bother to be lonely
I need anything, you can control this
I need wishful thinking to console me
As I'm coming up short
As I'm coming up short
As I'm coming up short
