lyrics

When the fire and the static meet
Like a dog and a cat in the street
After all I'd said and done
Well its really no fun
And I don't know what you've heard or read
But I devised a summer home
In everything you said
Sift through the papers in your white dress
And I'm just a mess

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying, trying, trying

Reason with the feeling like its something to prove
But I can't speak and I hardly can move
Anxiety's flirtatious and you're just a tease
But I've got a trick up my sleeve
Romanticize the things that I try to hide
Until they're just another layer of my pride
Caught by surprise, I close my eyes
And wait until it all goes by

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to ke-- (okay)

Retreat inside, and try to keep it hid
Remembering back to when I was a kid
Embarrassed to wake up, embarrassed to hide
Embarrassed to live sometimes
We sighed, and said that we would change one day
God, and then we did

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to keep it together

Trying to ke

Trying to ke

Trying to ke

Trying to keep it together

(No no, I was actually just enjoying the show)
