Soft Landing

JP Saxe


For a second the dysfunction felt romantic
Three years in and I can't stand it
Fell for your mystery, your reckless abandon
Now I'd prefer you'd just be candid

I'm trying not to listen to the part of me that knows
No matter what I wanted, now it's out of my control

Brakes cut, and everything is coming undone
Full speed, I'm just a blur to everyone
Eyes shut, and everything is coming undone
A hundred thousand miles passed when it was fun
Only you get in the way
Only you get in the way
Eyes shut and even though I know how it's ending
I'm still praying for a soft landing

I'm not looking for any particular new beginnings
I can't make the space for something else if I keep you in it
It's a bit uncomfortable I'm learning how to
I'm not used to wanting anything that's not you

Brakes cut, and everything is coming undone
Full speed, I'm just a blur to everyone
Eyes shut, and everything is coming undone
A hundred thousand miles passed when it was fun
Only you get in the way
Only you get in the way
Eyes shut, and even though I know how it's ending
I'm still praying for a soft landing

I'm trying not to listen to the part of me that knows
No matter what I wanted now it's out of my control

Brakes cut, and everything is coming undone
Full speed, I'm just a blur to everyone
Eyes shut, and everything is coming undone
A hundred thousand miles passed when it was fun
Only you get in the way
Only you get in the way
Eyes shut, and even though I know how it's ending
I'm still praying for a soft landing

Even though I know how it's ending
I'm still praying for a soft landing
