2639 - Dry As Dust ( Britpop Glam melancholic )

[Verse 1] Same movie Same scene here You pressing your lips together Like you’ve rehearsed this fear As if to say “It's always like this” Me stacking excuses in order Till they tilt and slip Me trying to justify myself With phrases you already know They queue up neat on my tongue But they never quite go [Chorus] It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust Half built sentence Half earned trust All these words Turn to rust I’m choking on What I won’t discuss It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust [Verse 2] Coffee’s gone cold Between our hands Your eyes skim past my shoulder Like you’ve mapped escape routes in advance My fingers drum On the table edge I aim for brave Land on quiet Lose my nerve at the ledge And every “sorry” sounds rehearsed Thin as the napkin you fold You’ve heard this script so many times My lines feel cruel and old [Chorus] It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust Half built sentence Half earned trust All these words Turn to rust I’m choking on What I won’t discuss It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust [Bridge] If I could crack this silence Split it clean in two I’d leave the empty half behind And walk the rest with you (with you) But here I sit Chewing on the truth Until the moment passes And I’ve talked myself Right out of you [Chorus] It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust Half built sentence Half earned trust All these words Turn to rust I’m choking on What I won’t discuss It gets stuck in my mouth Dry as dust Same movie Same scene Us
