Small Disasters

Rest my head against the wall, waitin' for a call that never came
'Cause time moves so slowly when you're still holding on to blame
I tried, but can't forget the day
You reachin' for my hand as I touched your face
When your secrets were still safe from me
'Til your eyes gave you away

'Cause we are drownin' above the water in a movie drained of color
Luckless lovers with a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real

And now I see the warning signs with the benefit of hindsight, I was blind
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy just to protect your lies
And all I wanted was the truth, the better part of you that I still see
'Cause love is all we have to give, but you took my best for free

'Cause we are drownin' above the water in a movie drained of color
Luckless lovers with a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real

And the one thing that really hurts is
We were so close to being perfect
And I know you'll be okay
And that's what kills me, yeah

'Cause we are drownin' above the water in a movie drained of color
Luckless lovers with a past that's just a string of small disasters

'Cause we are drownin' above the water in a movie drained of color
Luckless lovers with a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real, somethin' real
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel somethin' real
