Slow Six - Surfer Blood

Is this what you expected?

All the blame you’ve deflected?

You perfected your talent and turned it on me, uh ohhh, ohhh

I’ve tried starting over again

With the way I’ve been treating my friends

And the way they can influence me in the end

Well, it puts things in perspective

All of the endings are locked behind doors

Far beyond borders or miles from the shore

Do I dare still anticipate more?

Of your misdeeds

The way we had it before

Uh ohhh

Uh ohhh

Now when I’m facing temptation

I move without hesitation

Wanting and acting are one fluid motion for me, uh ohhh, ohhh

Whatever I used to resist

Is now at the top of my list

Along with all the nuances I could’ve missed

Hanging and taken for granted

Every love song’s a mystery here

Fables and proverbs just ring in my ear

But all the endings aren’t written in stone

It’s the sweetest dream I’ve ever known

I feel my instincts returning to me

Eating the fruit of the poisonous tree

Pick it dry and return to the sea

Yearning for

The way we had it before
