lyrics

Why do stars fall from the sky when I’m questioning your pride?
With your hand in my back pocket
Keep your hand in my back pocket

When I’m on the wrong foot I know how to step aside
With your hand in my back pocket
Keep your hand in my back pocket

You know I like to be alone
Is that so much to ask?
No matter what I do
Always come back to you

Why do stars fall from the sky when I’m questioning your pride?
With your hand in my back pocket
Keep your hand in my back pocket

That’s not me, it’s something else
Don’t take it the wrong way
You don’t know what makes me tick
It’s making, making you sick

You know I like to be alone
Is that so much to ask?
No matter what I do
Always come back to you

You know I like to be alone
Is that so much to ask?
No matter what I do
Always come back to you

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin
