Frayed Tape - Wingtip

It’s been a hell of a year between me and my fears

Between plans for the future and all my passin' ideas

I thought I’d figure it out just by walking around

Just by talking to friends but I’m bringing 'em down

Every night is the same when you’re wishing for rain

In a place that stays sunny almost every day

Maybe it’s not enough just to keep waking up

Waiting on somebody to call your bluff

And I don’t blame her for leaving, you know we all got our reasons

And I was all that she wanted but not at all what she needed

I’ll probably meet someone new, it’s what I know how to do

Cause I’m lonely as hell and don’t need an excuse

To give someone it all, sit and wait for the call

That they had a good time but I’m not the default

And it’s better than nothing I guess nobody’s above it

And I’m just trying to forget whatever I learned that love is

And I wanna get better but it’s hard sometimes

When you’re feeling feeble in the prime of your life

Too scared to settle, too scared to try

Stuck to the frayed tape at the edge of your mind

I think I got it all wrong, it was us all along

Spent my first 20 years trying not to belong

But now I wanna see people talk about what they’re reading

Sit and listen to stories and hear the problems they deal with

And I’m sick of attention, I guess I’m learning my lesson

That lovin' isn’t the same as just making impressions

I don’t how to ask for the things that I had

When I didn’t know I had 'em in the palm of my hand

I get sick of the sky, the way it’s empty at night

So I fill it with color and all these cheap little lights

This city’s not bad it’s just starting to sag

From the weight of our dreams and our plans of attack

Cause the crowd’s almost gone and by the end of the song

They’ll be going back home to the place they belong

So I’m leaving tomorrow hitching a ride on Apollo

Going up to the stars and I’m hopin' they follow

And I wanna get better but it’s hard sometimes

When you’re feeling feeble in the prime of your life

Too scared to settle, too scared to try

Stuck to the frayed tape at the edge of your mind
