These days I say goodbye
Without opening my mouth
I just stare into the distance
'Til you figure it out
'Cause I feel as invested
As a border guard
Who's seen too many people
Leaving to take it to heart

I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem
To hold it together anymore

And my old haunts
Each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun
Like a perp frozen in your headlights
Who forgot to run
And I'm overcome by the voices
Multiplying in the crowd
It's been swelling in between my ears
And growing frighteningly loud

I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
I'm too tired to start
I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides
In this ocean to proceed

And though I'm feeling fine
Roughly half the time
There's a fatal flaw
In my heart's design

I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
I'm too tired to start
I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides
In this ocean to proceed

There's too many riptides
In this ocean to proceed Writer/s: Benjamin Gibbard
