Spare Key

I'm shrugging off the cold just to be polite
I'm living like a prophet with stage fright
I'm falling into place, but still the timing's not right
Yeah, that's a fire I just can't seem to light

I never wanted to repeat myself
It's better now to just say nothing
Been living off of borrowed words for way too long

But have you had the honor yet
Of ever being truly hopeless
Have you just been pretending, like me?

I'm tracking down the cold now that it's finally gone
I'm living like a prophet who can't move on
I'm falling into place, but still the timing's all wrong
Yeah, well, I guess I just can't wait that long
(Wait that long)

I never wanted to repeat myself
It's better now to just say nothing
Been living off of borrowed words for way too long

But have you had the honor yet
Of ever being truly hopeless
Or have you just been pretending, like me?

Could I feel like I'm always running out
My palette's gone all grey again
(But I was buying time)
So it's no surprise that all we heard
Was the screaming of the wind
'Cause that is all I've ever been
(I was not afraid to go away)

Feels like I'm always running out
My palette's gone all grey again
So there's no surprise when all you hear
Is a record on repeat
'Cause that is all I'll ever be
