lyrics

It’s a quiet kind of chaos, living in this palace
No more wonder to be found inside this land of Alice
There’s no question I'm certain there’s love in this house
It’s just that we’ve reserved, the nicest room for doubt

you wanna go out, I just wanna stay in
we don’t bother check in, no phone, no texting
you come back drunk and sick and vexed and spoiling for a fight
come the morning come the morning everything's alright and

that’s our routine, that’s our playbook morning evening night and day
that’s our mood that’s our fabric,
our colours circle this drain
and it is gravy sunny days but then our ways turn dour
Quite frankly I’ve felt lately this lemonade is too sour

I wanna say something nice but I just make everything worse
cuz you can tell that’s it’s forced, and the thought of it what hurts
We know there’s love
sometimes love is tough
and fact is sometimes love is not enough

One step forward and another step on to the side
that’s all that we’re doing tonight

This flat too small for us to be having borders
I just wanna say I’m sorry, but my pride given me strict orders
to be honest, I just tired of silence as a weapon
I know you’re a good person maybe you’re not my person

Maybe we were just diversions, on our path to better passions
not all loves are destinations, some are just excursions
but then we cuddle on the couch, as the worlds spins about
feels like our palace has evicted all doubt.
