Chris Lambert - A Standard Lyrics

I'm out here looking for answers
And swimming blind through the deep
I hold myself to a standard
I couldn't possibly keep
I hold my breath underwater
I hold my stress in my neck
When I hold my face at an angle
I can see the cause and effect
Always looking to you to be
My drink in the desert heat
I know it's unfair for me
To ask you for anything
I stand up straight like a dancer
I can't complain, but I might
We sing along to a standard
I couldn't possibly write
I hold my tears, I'm a bottle
I hold my stress in my back
I hold you close like a hostage
When I feel I'm starting to crack
Always looking to you to be
My drink in the desert heat
I know it's unfair, or mean
To blame you for anything
I remember this one night
When the truck gave out in some little town
I see myself in your eyes
I look old, it must be wearing me down
We called your dad for a ride
He was calm and kept my feet on the ground
I hold myself to the sky
God, I know I must be wearing you down
Always looking to you to be
My drink in the desert heat
I know it's unfair, I mean
Just ask me for anything
I wish I could change my pace
To sync up to something real
I wish I could change your face
To link up to how you feel
