lyrics

And when things get above my head
I’ve been flirting with death's cousin
I’ve been thinking 'bout what Nasir said
Sometimes I feel it’s a life I'd lead instead but

Don’t cry out
That’s the last thing you should do
The people next door
They’re not laughing with you

Don’t cry out
That’s the last thing you should do
The people next door
They’re not laughing with you

They're saying:
"Get in contact, win your friends back!
Ah-ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah-ahh-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah-ahh-ah"
Is it hurting for you, living alone?
Well, it’s the first thing to do
Leaving your home, they're saying
"Ah-ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah-ahh-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ahh, ah-ah-ahh-ah"

Run around with those old friends
And get depressed again
Words betraying confidence
At every single incident

Dust things for fate's fingerprints
It's too strange for coincidence
Dust things for fate's fingerprints
It’s too strange

'Cuz I'm best said
Layin' in a big bed
Face behind a blanket
And I'm talking to your pillow
Fall asleep as the wind blows
Through a poorly insulated window

Fun without those old friends
And fall asleep again
Gestures suggest that confidence
Grows with every compliment

But the lights come on
They're moving in
The night’s too long
The days are getting thin
The lights come on
they're moving in
It’s too long

Cuz I'm best said
Laying in a big bed
Face behind a blanket
And I'm talking to your pillow
Fall asleep as the wind blows
Through a poorly insulated window

And I hope that I can amount
To more than my thread count
More than my thread count
I'm not more than my thread count
