Cloak and Dagger

I don’t know what it is about us

Why’s it gotta feel dangerous

Like a brushfire

Like a trip wire

And it feels like a minefield when we talk

Stepping on egg shells when we walk

I’m so tired

Call a cease-fire

But then I go ahead and make it worse

Had enough with the cloak and dagger

I don’t wanna grow old and wonder

Why we never tried

Why we grew up playing chutes and ladders

Always running from the first sign of life

It isn’t right

And it can’t be what we wanted

Never seems like enough is enough

Why’s it gotta feel dangerous

You’re a live wire

And I’m a bad liar

And we’re armed, ready to explode

So why we gotta keep our voices low

I’m so tired of the trip wires

Ain’t it time we got what we deserved?

Had enough with the cloak and dagger

I don’t wanna grow old and wonder

Why we never tried

Why we grew up playing chutes and ladders

Always running from the first sign of life

It isn’t right

And it can’t be what we wanted

To be safe but always sorry

Never spiraling out of our control

Maybe we should just let go

Had enough with the cloak and dagger

I don’t wanna grow old and wonder

Why we never tried

Why we grew up playing chutes and ladders

Always running from the first sign of life

It isn’t right

Had enough with the cloak and dagger

I don’t wanna grow old and wonder

Why we never tried

Why we grew up playing chutes and ladders

Always running from the first sign of life

It isn’t right

And it can’t be what we wanted
