Elephant Over Our Heads
Held together, by a thread
Our fiber is unraveling
Keep your distance, keep your peace
Every time I turn to you, you feel so out of reach
Awkward movements, pregnant pause...
I try to swallow anxious thoughts
Stolen glances, I hold still
Trying to avoid the elephant over our heads
And I'm trying to act the same
But the elephant still remains
You feel different, you look the same
And the elephant is to blame
Unresponsive, check my pulse
Feel a coldness in my bones
Slow my breathing, hit a wall
Taking everything you do and say with grains of salt
And I'm trying to act the same
But the elephant still remains
You feel different, you look the same
And the elephant is to blame
Oh
Tired of the silence, mindless patterns
Feel you lean away from
My hands reaching out to touch you
Like I used to
What are you avoiding
Oh I'm tired
Change my habits
Of the silence
Careful breathing
Mindless patterns
Why am I only worth
Feel you lean away from
What you give to me
Feel you lean away from
My hands reaching
Watch your posture
Out to touch you
Is it towards me?
Like I used to
Is your purpose just to make me feel worthy
What are you avoiding
Oh
Our fiber is unraveling
Keep your distance, keep your peace
Every time I turn to you, you feel so out of reach
Awkward movements, pregnant pause...
I try to swallow anxious thoughts
Stolen glances, I hold still
Trying to avoid the elephant over our heads
And I'm trying to act the same
But the elephant still remains
You feel different, you look the same
And the elephant is to blame
Unresponsive, check my pulse
Feel a coldness in my bones
Slow my breathing, hit a wall
Taking everything you do and say with grains of salt
And I'm trying to act the same
But the elephant still remains
You feel different, you look the same
And the elephant is to blame
Oh
Tired of the silence, mindless patterns
Feel you lean away from
My hands reaching out to touch you
Like I used to
What are you avoiding
Oh I'm tired
Change my habits
Of the silence
Careful breathing
Mindless patterns
Why am I only worth
Feel you lean away from
What you give to me
Feel you lean away from
My hands reaching
Watch your posture
Out to touch you
Is it towards me?
Like I used to
Is your purpose just to make me feel worthy
What are you avoiding
Oh
