The Backfires - Preoccupied Lyrics



The Backfires - Preoccupied Lyrics




Take a taxi with me
Up to 46th street
Neon lights won't let us sleep
Sit on man made boulders
Watch the night patrollers
Spill your history onto me

If I stumble home and lie with you
Hallucinate you on the night tube
Can I stumble home, a phone call will do?
I've not been the same since I saw you

I'm constantly preoccupied
I look at flights to pass the time
Its taken over me
And I can't leave this be

Those neon lights have faded
Hope you don't feel jaded
On this end of lonely street
Another day while timе seeps
Droning on endlessly
Cannot face thе 5 hour leap

If I stumble home and lie with you
Hallucinate you on the night tube
Can I stumble home, a phone call will do?
I've not been the same since I saw you

I'm constantly preoccupied
I look at flights to pass the time
Its taken over me
I can't leave this be
I'm constantly preoccupied
By the fantasies I once denied
You're too far from me
But i can't leave this be

I'm constantly preoccupied
Hoping you won't pass me by
Its taken over me
And I can't leave this be
I'm constantly preoccupied
By the fantasies in my mind
And they won't leave me
And you're too far from me

For how long now
Will I spend my time
On something so absurd?
You know I won't forget a word
For how long now
Will I waste my nights
Waiting on your calls?
I'm constantly preoccupied
