I Came Home Late

Atu, Ama Louisa John, Henry Laufer

I'm startin' to get this drunk thing
I'm copin' my thoughts out the same damn strain
'Ready this mornin' I've done 'bout fifteen things
'Fore you got here I was up at 5 A.M
OCD, let me do this one thing only
Yeah, I'll be down to sing, where do I stand?
Ask me how long I'll let this thing on me
It's all part of the game

I'm bleedin' and nada
Have no one to blame (bleeding and)
Patience and balance but turned up the same
Eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, oh

Your legs over, such a shame
It's some things that I can't explain why
How have I become so accustomed to sayin'?
Certain things I never say

I'm bright-eyed, and when I think of you I
Might I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears, so
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're 'part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh, yeah

Oh, you got some big dreams?
I wish I could be there, but we no longer speak
I got some painful things built into my foundation
But I'd do it all again
And no matter what you say, at least I'm honest
It was just time for me to pick some better hobbies
This game only makes more problems
It's a evil reason
You could probably charge it

I'm bleedin' and nada
Have no one to blame (bleeding and)
Patience and balance but turned up the same
Eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, oh

Your legs over, such a shame
It's just some things I can't explain why (for the hundredth time)
And how have I become so accustomed to sayin' all these things I never say?

Pride, when I think of you I
Might I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're 'part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh

You're taken none of shit from my life's tragedies
But this ain't as easy, you gotta come swingin'
We ain't no simple defeat, just you and me, I swear
