paper moons - Josef Salvat

Underneath a paper moon

Thinking about a life with you

The flickers in and out of frame

I can’t ever make it look the same

You went out again last night

We never win because you don’t fight

There’s nothing I can do from here

'Cept pour myself another beer

Who am I to stand in your way?

If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works

I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain

Another flat, another line to numb the worst

You are at it again

I know it’s nice to get away

Turn the past to ash and skip a day

The colours are too bright for you

But when you slip up, I’m breaking too

Slipping under next to you

Is that what you need me to do?

I don’t wanna think no more

I’m not your father, not your cure

Who am I to stand in your way?

If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works

I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain

Another flat, another line to numb the worst

You are at it again

You gotta stop

Giving yourself to them

You gotta stop

I wish you would stop

You gotta stop

Giving yourself to them

You gotta stop

I wish you would stop

But who am I to stand in your way?

If you want to lose yourself I don’t know what to say

You keep on asking me to save you but it never works

I don’t know why you’re so committed to your pain

Another flat, another line to numb the worst

You are at it again
