Petty Things

How do you unravel a life

Built up on two sides?

Can’t cut the couch in half

Or take the words that we said back

This is not a clean break

Half of the time it feels like a mistake

Wish that you did something wrong

So I could say I knew all along, but

It doesn’t always end

With a crash and a bang

Sometimes it’s a slow and flickering flame

That burns down to the coals

While you’re too busy

Focusing on petty things

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah

I try to pinpoint the change

Could I fix this?

Could we get saved?

I go ahead and blame myself

Tortured by the thought

Of you with somebody else

We say we want closure

Then you pull me closer

Feels like I’m home

But I shouldn’t stay over

Oh no

It doesn’t always end

With a crash and a bang

Sometimes it’s a slow and flickering flame

That burns down to the coals

While you’re too busy

Focusing on petty things

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah

Do you see it as a waste?

I know I don’t think of it that way

‘Cause it was love until it changed

And dulled so low, we couldn’t stay

It doesn’t always end

With a crash and a bang

Sometimes it’s, sometimes it’s

All the could’ve beens

That’ll drive you insane

Have you wishing for all all-out,

Blow-up blaze

So I can let you go

And get back to

Focusing on petty things

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah

Ahhh, oh, oh yeah
