The Great Passive - Skipping Record Lyrics

I tried my best, I gave it all
And no one's bothered yet to call I've been waiting here for days on end
A lack of courage and of speed to take me through the baking heat
Thawing the rest of me to what I've never known
A skipping record in my head moves back and forth, and forth and back
I am not able to do this on my own
And in the sweetness of your breath
Lies the key to how I'm saved

When everything has gone
In tryin to keep up up pace
I can still count on your love
It's the only thing that stays

And all that wailing of how fast
Life goes (and that) few things ever last
Talk is cheap and nothing's gonna change
A skipping record in my head moves back and forth, assures me that
I am no longer wanted, that phone will never ring
And the warm flow from your chest
Gives me all that's been lost back

When everything has gone
In tryin to keep up pace
I can still count on your love
It's the only thing that stays
When everything's gone to pieces and there's no more I can take
I can still count on your love
It's the only thing that stays
