Eve (Household Name)
Arm's Length
The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I'd never say
Said I wish you were here
Or at least that you weren't there
You cover your ears
'Cause you long to be less aware
And now that time has healed all of my wounds
I fear I'm too old to remember
What I got myself into
And these days, I'm not a colour but a shade
You said it's only building character
Find out the harder way
And all the same
I'm reflecting light from everything
You wouldn't notice if I'm thinner
Because you see me everyday
Forgotten but never gone
Old stories you pass along
I'd rather have bad luck than none
Curse 'cause it's in a song
I'm so fucking in the wrong
Swallow the said and done
Wincing and whining
I've got no room to run
Ask anyone
I don't know where I'm from anymore
Anymore
So pretend you can't hear
It's not your fault just your failure
Promise me like a kid
Swear to me like a sailor
I'll just change, rearrange
All your tectonic plates
And your head
Won't shake again
The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I'd never say
You startle easier than I did at your age
'Cause you put the bliss in ignorance
You were my household name
