Lyrics:
1-
I'm only pretty sure-that I can't take anymore-Before
you take a swing-I wonder-What are we fighting for-When
I say out loud-I want to get out of this-I wonder-Is
there anything-I'm gonna miss-I wonder.
3-
Where we used to laugh, there's a shouting match-sharp
as a thumbnail scratch-A silence I can't ignore, like
the hammock-by the door-where we spent time in-swings
empty-I don't see lightning like last fall-when it was
always-about to hit me-I wonder.
6-
Want to get back myself back in again-The soft dive of-
oblivion-Want to taste the salt-of your skin-The soft
dive of-oblivion

Lyrics:
2-
How's it's gonna be-when you don't know me-How's it gonna
be-when you're sure I'm not there-How's it gonna be-when
there's no one there to talk to-Between you and me-Cause
I don't care-How's it gonna be.
4-
How's it gonna be-when it goes down-How's it gonna be-
when you're not around-How's it gonna be-when you found
out there was nothing-Between you and me-Cause I don't
care-How's it gonna be.
*Chorus 2*
*Strumming pattern 2*
