Turpentine Lyrics

Brandi Carlile Turpentine

Songwriters: Brandi Carlile

I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies and salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was was ten again, so I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine, tell it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time, so I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play and there's no one allowed in
Then just when we believed we could be great
Reality it permeates and conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine, tell it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time, so I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I know we're okay
I know we're okay

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine, tell it's six a.m. and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time, so I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up
