New Detroit Songtext
von Tigers Jaw

And I was thinking about the last time
I saw you fighting jet lag in your time zone
You could tell that I was struggling with the ATM
When you said that you could cover me
We made small talk along the way
We were talking ′bout the bullet train, or so I thought

Making your eyes play tricks like camouflage
You couldn't find yourself
But I don′t wanna spend my time just wishing that
You would push me in
When you know I can't swim


And I was thinking 'bout a past life when you failed me
I forget all of the worst parts when you′re around me
I was covering my eyes again
From the selective honesty
And you taught me how to fall asleep
Without all this misplaced guilt hanging over me

(Instrumental)

Making your eyes play tricks like camouflage
You couldn′t find yourself
But I don't wanna spend my time just wishing that
You would push me in
When you know I can′t swim
