Lyrics

You only hit me up when the sun goes down And you say I'm not enough when I'm around So tell me now what we're supposed to do 'Cause I can't go without being close to you I know I get you down when I'm acting up And I get too stressed out when things get tough But no matter what season I'm going through For some reason I still wanna be close to you Yeah, I've tried, but you know that I can't explain it And I could lie, but I know that we're a moth and a flame and We go around and around, always switching the roles Waiting to see how it goes down, to see how it unfolds Some days you light me up and make me wanna fly Other nights I've had enough and you say you wanna die I break through one wall, but then you're building another And I can't stand how we're always almost killing each other But still, there's something that keeps us both running back Somehow we still keep it together when we're under attack From the outside, 'cause we won't let them tear us apart You know that you're the only one I want to tear up my heart 'cause Despite how far we fall when that high runs out Anytime you can still call and say you need me now And then I'm right back in it, take me back to the beginning And just for a minute it feels like we're winning even though I know (You only) You only hit me up when the sun goes down And you say I'm not enough when I'm around So tell me now what we're supposed to do 'Cause I can't go without being close to you I know I get you down when I'm acting up And I get too stressed out when things get tough But no matter what season I'm going through For some reason I still wanna be close to you I see another moment between us dissolving too fast All the sudden we're opponents yelling through frosted glass 'Cause I can't see you clearly, both our eyes are too blurry And I love you dearly but we both trip in a hurry Now we wrapped up in each other like it's cellophane Just stinging 'till we're both numb like it's Novocain I hope you know that I ain't proud of leaving you in the rain But you just like Hank now, a pro at selling me pain But I love it, 'cause you're my favorite cathartic disaster And I know you that don't believe in happily ever afters So we're closing eyes and jumpin' in Never knowing what's happenin' And if somewhere we hit the end We'll prolly just start up again 'cause (You only) You only hit me up when the sun goes down And you say I'm not enough when I'm around (I'm around) So tell me now what we're supposed to do 'Cause I can't go without being close to you I know I get you down when I'm acting up (Acting up) And I get too stressed out when things get tough (Get tough) But no matter what season I'm going through For some reason I still wanna be close to you You only hit me up when the sun goes down And you say I'm not enough when I'm around (I'm around) So tell me now what we're supposed to do 'Cause I can't go without being close to you I know I get you down when I'm acting up (Acting up) And I get too stressed out when things get tough (Get tough) But no matter what season I'm going through For some reason I still wanna be close to you
