Did you think that I was waiting
On the edge of my seat
For a 12-step phone call
And a scripted apology
At the end of my patience
And j ust out of reach
Awaiting all of your temptations
How you never belonged to me
Easy baby
Stitch i n my soul
Never apart but both so alone
Cuz i t feels l ike whenever I get close, I’m too close
I’m not built to be your halfway house
Until my roots give out
Cuz there’s nothing holding us i n place
I can’t hear i f there’s no sudden sound
Who’s gonna be around
To peel you off the ground
If I’m not there
If I’m not there
I could tell i t was you, walking
From how the floorboards would creek
You created such a pattern
It haunted me
From the way that we would argue
Liquored you’re l ies through your teeth
Til the only voices talking, we’re the people on tv
Easy baby
Stitch i n my soul
Never apart but both so alone
Cuz i t feels l ike whenever I get close, I’m too close
I’m not built to be your halfway house
Until my roots give out
Cuz there’s nothing holding us i n place
I can’t hear i f there’s no sudden sound
Who’s gonna be around
To peel you off the ground
If I’m not there
If I’m not there
But there’s more to me than to be your saving grace
God damn, boy, give me my space
I’m not built to be your halfway house
Until my roots give out
Cuz there’s nothing holding us i n place
I’m not built to be your halfway house
Until my roots give out
Cuz there’s nothing holding us i n place
I can’t hear i f there’s no sudden sound
Who’s gonna be around
To peel you off the ground
If I’m not there
If I’m not there
