These Girls

Intro: ) In one of those they say we must watch your name drop over and over again No-one knows the reason nothing stays And maybe she's long gone breaking backs in too many middle states No-one knows the difference all the way So open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back 'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse Split lips, gone swollen faces, slip down the ice on Western Avenue And I've been to slower places, seen colder days, we can stay You know enough for me to trust, so crush it up, put me back together But if you have to make us pay, what can I say? Just keep me away. Three names and one condition, count the ways to put it all back Long lines and bold predictions, holding your breath until the impact And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving Slow ~ down Talking loud to lonely faces, time can tell these days are not worth saving Slow ~ down Waiting for the cold to stop still close enough to lose the thaw, waging a war on words you forgot to say Harmonica ) ) No matter what, she's done with us, so give up, there's nothing you can say Forget me in times like these, just get away, far away from my Old pain and new addiction, nothing strong, nothing left to mix with this Just slow roads and open spaces with nothing left to fix, so please Open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back 'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving, don't leave me out
