When I chip through your candy coating
C Dsus2 G
You're stuffed with insulation

Conflating agitate

[Post-chorus]
G G/F Em C
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
G G/F Em C
I can hardly see
G G/F Em C
This conversation spirals into a fight
G G/F Em C
I can barely breathe
[Verse 2]
C G6
Who ran from roman candles
C Dsus2 G
Underneath a willow weeping
C G6
Do the tealights on your mantel
C Dsus2 G
Illuminate that summer feeling
C G6
You're the seashell in my sandal
C Dsus2 G
That's slicing up my heel

Wrecking my brain, trying to escape, getting me down
