lyrics

It was all a phase, it comes in waves,
it was all a phase,

And the world’s a stage,
and all I do is fake,
I’m never fully awake,
I destroy the things I make,
to make a new one everyday,
watch it burn away,
like the bridge I’m standing on,
I made a mistake,

And who can I blame for these ill invited terrors?
All of my errors won’t wash off

I shrunk down to your father's size,
God knows I lost, God knows I tried,
to replace the fractions you can’t divide,
send me on my way tonight.

It was all a phase, just a transcendental haze,
that left us in a daze,
you are my new found craze,
you are all the drugs we take,
you are the perfect words to say,
to make me wanna stay,

Spin, spin me a tale,
spin me the gospel fabrication,
because I almost believed that I wasn’t worth the waiting,
but I know I’m worth my weight in gold,
although I’d never claim as much,

I shrunk down to your father's size,
God knows I lost, God knows I tried,
to replace the fractions you can’t divide,
send me on my way tonight.

it was all a phase
