Lyrics to Flicker
Wait up, I'm running
Over your shoulder, looking at me
Like I'm someone you don't know
Laid down, you promised
Under the moon, you're patient
When you wake you find some way to go
I know this to be true
You're so easy to succumb to
Should've known by now
You like keeping me around
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that
Broke down in Austin
The back-breaking straw of it all
Is that you had no idea
It's just so exhausting
Thinking it's something it's not, you still get what you want
'Cause the lie seems so sincere
When the light is gone
Still the only thing I'm choking on
Is every part that you played
'Cause all I ever did is fall into place, and I
Should've known by now
You like keeping me around (Should've known by now)
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that (Should've known by now)
And I should've learned by now
You would say the words out loud (Should've known by now)
Just to break me in half
You like getting off on that
Shadow of a haunted moon (Ah)
It shines on you (Ah)
I made you bigger, oh
All it really comes down to (Ah)
Is one loose screw (Ah)
And now you flicker (Ooh)
Knowing that you'll always say (Ah)
Deflecting blame (Ah)
"I don't remember" (Oh; Should've known better)
Maybe for forgiveness' sake (Ah)
I'll say the same (Oh)
"I don't either"
Over your shoulder, looking at me
Like I'm someone you don't know
Laid down, you promised
Under the moon, you're patient
When you wake you find some way to go
I know this to be true
You're so easy to succumb to
Should've known by now
You like keeping me around
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that
Broke down in Austin
The back-breaking straw of it all
Is that you had no idea
It's just so exhausting
Thinking it's something it's not, you still get what you want
'Cause the lie seems so sincere
When the light is gone
Still the only thing I'm choking on
Is every part that you played
'Cause all I ever did is fall into place, and I
Should've known by now
You like keeping me around (Should've known by now)
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that (Should've known by now)
And I should've learned by now
You would say the words out loud (Should've known by now)
Just to break me in half
You like getting off on that
Shadow of a haunted moon (Ah)
It shines on you (Ah)
I made you bigger, oh
All it really comes down to (Ah)
Is one loose screw (Ah)
And now you flicker (Ooh)
Knowing that you'll always say (Ah)
Deflecting blame (Ah)
"I don't remember" (Oh; Should've known better)
Maybe for forgiveness' sake (Ah)
I'll say the same (Oh)
"I don't either"
