For You and I Are Past Our Dancing Days Lyrics by Painting Rockets

From The Debris

2016

Should I stay or should I go?
I'm intoxicated by the things I'm feeling
But I'm heading for the door
And I'm a sloppy drunk caught in a moment I can't judge
But someone pass the tonic so I can drown to take control of this
Your eyes they saw a different side of me
But what I thought was real is now a tainted memory
And I'm counting down the moments until I am left alone
Cause I'm done with being used to fill the hole that's in your soul
I've ran the race a million times, but never passed the finish line
I'm stuck, starstruck by you
So starstruck by you
Scraped past the groundwork that I lay
I never made it over
To the greener side I paved
Since you caught me sober
Still catching glitches in my vision more and more
But you'll revel in your glory
Shine that trophy
My tears won’t polish it no more
I am counting down the moments until I am left alone
'Cause I'm done with being used to fill the hole that's in your soul
I've ran the race a million times, but never passed the finish line
I'm stuck, starstruck by you
So starstruck by you
A broken candle caught the burn
Lit at both ends, we're ticking time
Whilst spitting venom from our tongues
And claimed it qualify it as love
For you and I are past our dancing days
Our tired feet will take the weight
Whilst we dance our separate ways
I am counting down the moments until I am left alone
'Cause I'm done with being used to fill the hole that's in your soul
I've ran the race a million times, but never passed the finish line
I'm stuck, starstruck by you
So starstruck by you
Were all I wanted
All I needed
Now you’re everything I hate
Were all I wanted
All I needed
Now we’re past our dancing days
