Rip - Goldwash

Meet you on the front porch you’re ready to go

I’m stretching out the truth 'til I’m being dishonest

Kept it on the low that was taking its toll

So now I gotta break off as quick as I promised

And I didn’t want to hurt you so I never said anything relevant

I had to be everything, oh

I didn’t want to burn you‚ I was trying to be elegant

But I fucked up

So I won’t tell you why‚ tell you why‚ tell you why

No, not this morning

I won’t tell you why, tell you why‚ ooh

Swimming for a way to get out of my head

Caught out by a rip and I swore I was drowning

Huddled on the beach I just couldn’t pretend

The answers that you needed weren’t the things I was doubting

The answers that I gave you were the things I was doubting

And I didn’t want to hurt you so I never said anything relevant

I had to be everything, all the time

And even though I burned you I’m still trying to be elegant, and never

malevolent

But I fucked up

So I won’t tell you why‚ tell you why, tell you why

No, not this morning

I won’t tell you why, tell you why, ooh
