Loner Phase - Cold War Kids

They’re calling you a genius

Is that why you’re acting so competitive?

And even if they mean it

Don’t let the feeling get to your head

I really wanna call you

Never cleaned up the mess from the last time we met

The roof is gonna fall through

I’ll stay out in the cold, all alone instead

If you think you can, reach out your hand

Like all is well and nothing changed

I went through hell to watch you in outer space

The wine is in the basement

So why can’t I hide away to hibernate?

I’m sleeping through the moment

And we’re so afraid of getting worse with age

If you think you can, reach out your hand

Like all is well and nothing changed

I went through hell to watch you in outer space

I’m so careful, I got out of the way

I’m so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say

Won’t you give me distance

To swallow the words you put on my plate

Maybe then you’ll listen

And I could get out of this one act play

You see me waving my white flag

You see me waving my white flag

Won’t you ever wanna take me back

Won’t you ever wanna take me back
