Cracks Lyrics by Sly Withers

Gardens (Deluxe Edition)

2020

[Verse 1: Sam Blitvich]
Can't write an opening line to save my life
And the way that it's going, the cracks, they start showing
And I sit, impossibly unfit
And lacking all the qualities you need out of me

[Chorus: Sam Blitvich]
You want a better life, you'll find nothing from me
You'll get a better guy, ticks all the boxes you need
And I'll get sad, you might feel bad
But in the end, it never mattered, did it, anyway?

[Verse 2: Sam Blitvich]
Pushing back on the tides always feels good at the time
Till you're all on your own with no charge on your phone
And you forgot the fucking apartment address
Looks like you're sleeping rough in Brissy tonight, I guess

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Blitvich, Sam Blitvich & Jono Mata]
But it's okay, I'll wait outside
Hoping that you walk by on accident
I'll hug you, then we'll go straight to bed for an hour
Then get the fuck out of here

[Chorus: Sam Blitvich & Jono Mata, Sam Blitvich]
You want a better life, you'll find nothing from me
You'll get a better guy, ticks all the boxes you need
And I'll get sad, you might feel bad
But in the end, it never mattered, did it, anyway?

[Verse 3: Jono Mata]
Hey, I know I'm miles away
And I don't call enough when I'm gone
If I walk home, I'll tear my feet up
And somehow we were better off sleeping alone

[Verse 4: Sam Blitvich, Jono Mata, both]
Hey
Know I'm a couple thousand miles away
(I know I'm miles away)
But I'll be back home in a couple of days
(And I don't call enough when I'm gone)
Shoulder on my head, get a full night's rest
(If I walk home, I'll tear my feet up)
Then we can work out (And somehow)
We were better off sleeping alone

[Verse 5: Sam Blitvich]
Can't write an opening line to save my life
And the way that it's going, the cracks, they start showing
And I sit, impossibly unfit
And lacking all the qualities you need out of me

[Chorus: Sam Blitvich & Jono Mata]
You want a better life, you'll find nothing from me
You'll get a better guy, ticks all the boxes you need
And I'll get sad, you might feel bad
But in the end, it never mattered, did it, anyway?
