Peaks And Troughs

River Jumpers


I've been thinking about
How I react around you
And in constant disbelief and self-retraction
And I'm not sure about this anymore
Can we cover up what we've done?
My miscomposure is getting the best of me

'Cause I've been stumbling round this town
It's hard to find space to breathe
But this time I won't be caught short with nothing to say
We're getting lost as we compromise
On these peaks and troughs
That take over our reality
We're getting closer instead of turning away
Never run away

More than aguish and doubt
Any sure recollection is lost
Can we pick up the pieces of our disregarded hearts?
And so it goes I throw up more than my hands
With every intention I'm not echoing the past
And expectation I could start getting it right
Get it right!

'Cause I've been stumbling round this town
It's hard to find space to breathe
But this time I won't be caught short with nothing to say
We're getting lost as we compromise
On these peaks and troughs
That take over our reality
We're getting closer instead of turning away
Never run away

I could never put it better than the way that you said it
Self-aberration is destructive and pathetic
So set it down cause I know you'll regret it now
Yeah you'll always regret it, no!

These peaks and troughs
Our best intentions lost
But still, we carry on

'Cause I've been stumbling round this town
It's hard to find space to breathe
But this time I won't be caught short with nothing to say
We're getting lost as we compromise
On these peaks and troughs
That take over our reality
We're getting closer and instead of turning away
Never run away
