LYRICS

Verse 1:
Feeling absent from a lot of things.
From people, from emotions.
I get the notion that you're not the same.
Then why does your name still have the same ring?

Chorus:
You slither on through my veins.
Countdown to my pain.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby,
Cause I'll still crawl back to that wound.

Verse 2:
Your name rolls off my tongue so smooth.
Feels as if dipping my toes into a fountain of our youth.
But the sound of your name pierces my soul.
Yet I still listen to your favourite song.

Chorus:
You slither on through my veins.
Countdown to my pain.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby,
Cause I'll still crawl back to-

Bridge:
How is it possible for someone to paint a picture of your future with them,
From miles away?
How is it possible for someone to promise you the world,
Then leave you behind?
Oh you left me behind.

Chorus:
You slither on through my veins.
Countdown to my pain.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby.
Stretch the truth a little more baby,
Cause I'll still crawl back to you.
