Cold War Kids - Loner Phase lyrics

They're calling you a genius Is that why you're acting so competitive And even if they mean it Don't let the feeling get to your head I really wanna call you Better clean up the mess from the last time we met The roof is gonna fall through I'll stay out in the cold all alone instead [Chorus:] If you think you can, reach out your hand Like all is well and nothing changed But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space The wine is in the basement So why can't I hide away to hibernate I'm sleeping through the moment And we're so afraid of getting worse with age [Chorus:] If you think you can, reach out your hand Like all is well and nothing changed But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space I'm so careful, I got out of the way I'm so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say Won't you give me distance Just swallow the words you put on my plate And maybe then you'd listen And I could get out of this one act play You see me waving my white flag You see me waving my white flag Won't you ever wanna take me back Won't you ever wanna take me back
