lyrics

Chasing rabbits in the sea
Chasing rabbits and they’re smiling back at me
Floatin’ around Laughing up at the sky
Feels better than breaking everything in sight

Feels better than hitting
Feels better than hurting
Feels better than calling that young boy down

I think of you and it makes me feel proud and it makes me feel hurt
I think of you and it makes me feel I have something to lose
My face in the dirt
My feet in the water
My hands are on fire
And I breathe you in
I’m breathing you in

This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
You need

Cause I find some things hard to say

Last night I tried to have a good time
But I think that I knew better
I danced a little, I drank a lot
I thought about you even more
And here I am the morning after
mistaking choking on my tears
for choking on my words

I want to show you what it feels like to be free of all of this
But I don’t even know the answer
I want to send a message to all those who came before me
But I find somethings hard to hear myself

And it’s still the morning after
And the pictures of the rabbits in the sea is somewhere else
And I’m still mistaking my own pride for my ideals
And I’m still mistaking choking on my fears for choking on my words

Cause I find some things hard to say
I find some things hard to say

But this is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where you don’t have to worry anymore
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything you need
You need
You need
