Stalemate Lyrics by True North

Out Loud

2022

[Verse 1]
Let's write a story with our eyes
Someone said that you'd be here tonight
And I didn't think I wanted to believe them
Not like I can go a second without thinking
About the kind of feeling that you'd keep a secret
But if I don't know if I even really feel it
Then why am I finding it so hard to conceal it?
Are we gonna act like we got all night?

[Chorus]
'Cause I tried to stay away
From a certain kind of tension tonight
I don't think that we can [?]
[?] caught dead
I'm swallowing my words
I think I'm caught in a stalemate
I'm caught in a stalemate

[Verse 2]
I'm calling your bluff
It was always heading towards a night like
And I don't think I'm ready yet
But I'll nеver be as ready as I am right now
I'll givе you the real me
You give the power when I don't have a thing to lose
I wanna believe it's true

[Chorus]
'Cause I tried to stay away
From a certain kind of tension tonight
I don't think that we can [?]
[?] caught dead
I'm swallowing my words
I think I'm caught in a stalemate
I'm caught in a stalemate

[Bridge]
Now my face is on fire
[?] that I leave behind
Like emotions that I'm slowly getting tired of
[?] take when I'm fired up
But second chances never come when your guard's up
So I leave it at the bottom of an empty coat
I think your eyes say a thousand different words
And everybody else is a blur

[Chorus]
'Cause I tried to stay away
From a certain kind of tension tonight
I don't think that we can [?]
[?] caught dead
I'm swallowing my words
I think I'm caught in a stalemate
I'm caught in a stalemate

[Outro]
[?] caught dead
I'm swallowing my words
I think I'm caught in a stalemate
I'm caught in a stalemate
