Cliff Jumper Lyrics

So this is how the year's going?

We're choking, and grasping at straws

Like a child

Mostly, if it's a consolation

These days I just battle myself

God, am I actually fucking saying this?

Because I'm having trouble breathing in, it's in my head

Will the progression lock it in?

Did my heroes go through this?

Now we're a couple ok records in

The nostalgia play's the worst, the mind-killer

Ok, shift the blame without having much to show

And you're sitting through

Distantly, she called to see

How I was still doing

She said something like, you're lonely

And I said, how can that be?

Why, I often see my best friends in a daydream

They're cheering for me, but they're seventeen

Why, I often see my best friends in a daydream

They're cheering for me, but at seventeen

Why, I often see my best friends in a daydream

They're cheering for me, but at seventeen

Why, I often see my best friends in a daydream

You can write a solid song

It's not difficult at all

They would hear it once, and they'd all sing along

To be something you could've thrown out years ago

But the parts shouldn't change so much

Maybe today you wouldn't feel something wrong

No more checking your chest for a heartbeat

Or examining things that we missed

Keep yourself from reveling in the sadness of everything

Make note of the red that crashes through

Like waves on their way

Makes you want to run

Make note of the red that crashes through

Like waves on their way

Makes you want to run

The fire you neglect inside

Has no way to fight but this

Will you tune it out?

The fire inside has no way out
