Come Across

Accidentally let your cactus die
Kept your succulents alive
Mouldy washing hangin' on the line too long
Kept things civil when I saw you last
Now our fighting’s in the past
So cut a shell of my memory in your arms
Hey, hey
Say goodbye to our common friends
Now I’m sittin' on my hands
Let the phone ring out again one more time
And say goodbye to our common ground
Now it’s no longer around
Silence is just a warning sign, you know
And the stillness of the surface seems
To be indicatin' something’s wrong
I’m just slowly slippin' at the seams
Watchin' all my rights go wrong
I can only wonder how it feels
Wakin' up when someone’s gone
I just wanna make it up to you
Try and make it come across
See you comin' down a garden path
Tiny daggers in your laugh
Peace seems like a distant kind of word
I meet your eyes and I try to smile
But the distance seems like miles
Silence is just a warning sign, you know
And the stillness of the surface seems
To be indicatin' something’s wrong
I’m just slowly splitting at the seams
Watching all my rights go wrong
I can only wonder how it feels
Wakin' up when someone’s gone
I just wanna make things right with you
Try and make me come across, come across
Come across, come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across, how I come across
How I come across
And the stillness of the surface seems
To be indicatin' something’s wrong
I’m just slowly slippin' at the seams
Watchin' all my rights go wrong
I can only wonder how it feels
Wakin' up when someone’s gone
I just wanna make it up to you
Say I’m sorry to you, sorry how I come across
