G D
The ache of a thousand nearly nothings

Like unrequited love

Doesn’t mean

A single fucking thing

The ground has shifted crazy

This is where I stand

And here I’ll stay

As guaranteed
verse 2 as verse 1
And what I’d give for just one
Moment’s clarity
I can trust
Not to disappear
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
Its what I tell myself
And call it faith
And think of something else
Chorus 2

I woke up somewhere stupid
God what have I done?
Not a thing
A single fucking thing
The ground has shifted crazy
This is where I stand
And here I’ll stay

As guaranteed
Or control
When it feels the same
