Playing Fiction Lyrics by ROAM

Great Heights & Nosedives

2017

[Verse 1]
I saw the bottom
Felt a sinking feeling
She fed me words
She wasn’t even thinking
On & on, say nothing's wrong again
Held up, repeating all our lines, fake blue skies
Painted a picture out of words, turned white lies
On & on tell me nothing's wrong again
Nothing’s wrong again

[Chorus]
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream
Too close to know, everything was fading
Water we could wade in got too deep
To stand found out firsthand that I was
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream

[Verse 2]
I know the script isn’t changing
Although the person you play is
Your role - the girl in the tower
But your sweet tooth turned sour

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake me up, 'cause I’m lost in a daydream
The truth, it cuts like an axe to an oak tree

[Chorus]
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream
Too close to know, everything was fading
Water we could wade in got too deep
To stand found out firsthand that I was
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream

[Bridge]
Wake me up, I’m lost in a daydream
(Truth, it cuts like an axe to an oak tree)
Wake me up, I’m lost in a daydream
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream
Too close to know, everything was fading

[Chorus]
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream
Too close to know, everything was fading
Water we could wade in got too deep
To stand found out firsthand that I was
Too close to know, we were playing fiction
Living in a distant daydream
