lyrics

I drove 200 miles to escape the thought of you
Ignorance is bliss when you don't know how it feels
Like throwing stones at photographs of the memories we wish we could forget
Or if you're staring at the ocean wondering when you'll be home

It's really hard to speak when you ain't got the words to say
It fucks everything up and you know it's not okay
This is more than sincerity
It's kind of hard to stand when you've got no floor to stand on

I'm not silver-tongued enough to explain the thought of you
Was it something that I said?
Or was it just the way I said it?
If I speak soft in a quiet room would you still hear me?
The wind just takes the words out of my mouth

It's really hard to speak when you ain't got the words to say
It fucks everything up and you know it's not okay
This is more than sincerity
It's kind of hard to stand when you've got no floor to stand on
It's hard to understand when you haven't been there before

I won't hold you responsible when you don't talk the same
I won't hold you responsible when you don't smile the same
I won't hold you responsible when you don't act the same way that you used to
I won't hold you responsible

(All my friends are calling me out
All my friends are calling me)

Can I find my ignorance?
Because I found out what it's like
Today will be fine tomorrow
Like taking your pictures off the walls
Or if you're staring at the ocean and you realize you're the one drowning
