Staring Contest

(Song available for free download at amfp.bandcamp.com)

We had a fight. It's hard to tell is someone's won.
Such a strange night. The voices echo and they hant me.
They haunt me.

Near midnight, we crossed the bridge in perfect silence.
Oh, quiet night. The deepest cuts and shallow heartbeats.
Heartbeats.

If we part ways, just know that I will keep my promise
If we part ways, we can try again tomorrow.
(Can we try again) tomorrow?

We walked along, ignoring our hands at our sides.
We walked along, ignoring how low our heads hung.
Can we start over? (Can we start over?)
Can we start over?

We had a fight, but we can try again tomorrow.
(Can we try again) tomorrow?

We walked along, ignoring our hands at our sides.
We walked along, ignoring how low our heads hung.
Can we start over? (Can we start over?)
Can we start over?

(By the way, Thanks Emlyn for posting. I haven't had a chance to read yet, but when I do, you'll know ;))

Really beautifully written. Definitely great lyrics :) I particularly love the bridge (the "we walked along" verse), both in terms of the words and the way you sing it in the song.

I agree with Emlyn. Heart raped.
