The Written Years - Superficial Feeling

Try to shake it out, play the part
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

‘Til we are cut in thirds on a restaurant stage
Where the ribbon girls spin and I
Am caving down, a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance all alone in the dark
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I am lit, half asleep, throwing darts at the mirror
I am shaking right now like I shouldn’t be here
Even if it appears as a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I’ll wait a breath then take something to calm down
Bury my mistakes, spill it all
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

So kiss me darling, I’ve been asleep too long
I can stand up right, clear my head
And it’s all a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance all alone in the dark
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I am lit, half asleep, throwing darts at the mirror
I am shaking right now like I shouldn’t be here
Even if it appears as a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood, hit the lights and get it all out
I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance as you’re falling apart
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

Shake it out, just shake it out, just shake it out now
Shake it out, just shake it out, just shake it out now
Shake it out, just shake it out, just shake it out now
Shake it out, just shake it out, just shake it out now
