Eve (Household Name) Songtext
von Arm’s Length

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I′d never say

Said I wish you were here
Or at least that you weren't there
You cover your ears
′Cause you long to be less aware

And now that time has healed all of my wounds
I fear I'm too old to remember
What I got myself into

And these days, I'm not a colour but a shade
You said it′s only building character
Find out the harder way
And all the same
I′m reflecting light from everything
You wouldn't notice if I′m thinner
Because you see me everyday


Forgotten but never gone
Old stories you pass along
I'd rather have bad luck than none
Curse ′cause it's in a song
I′m so fucking in the wrong
Swallow the said and done

Wincing and whining
I've got no room to run
Ask anyone
I don't know where I′m from anymore
Anymore

So pretend you can′t hear
It's not your fault just your failure
Promise me like a kid
Swear to me like a sailor
I′ll just change, rearrange
All your tectonic plates
And your head
Won't shake again

The holidays are all going down the same
When you asked me what I wished for
And I told you I′d never say

You startle easier than I did at your age
'Cause you put the bliss in ignorance
You were my household name
