More Than I Care To Admit Lyrics

Thirteen hours on a long haul

You know I'm superstitious to a fault

It could never have gone well

Though that's not something I would tell you

You're staying up all night

Mourning someone else's broken heart

She wouldn't want it

But you can't close your eyes without reliving it

And I thought about protecting you

But what could I do through a phone line, tin can kite string?

I think about it

More than I care to admit

And when I think about religious fervour

Headstones and repentance

I think about you in the morning, lit

As if from within

More than I care to admit

You sent her flowers

To feel some sense of trying, for lack of better option

I'm sorry

But I still hope that she got them

I ask if you can see the ocean from where you're standing

Cast iron, blue black, coastal watching

You say that you can't

So I change the scene that I'm picturing in my head

When I think about devotion

It's mainly just touching the back of your hand

Telling you that it's alright to fall back to sleep again

I never met your family

And I feel like I should have

And I thought about protecting you

But what can I do through a phone screen, tin can, kite string

I think about it

More than I care to admit

And when I think about religious fervour

Headstones and repentance

I think about you in the morning, lit

As if from within

More than I care to admit
