state of things

we don't talk

no confrontation at all

been building tension up high like a wall

so that explains

the state of things

we still touch

you making love like a crutch i feel your heart barely beating for us

yeah that explains the state of things

how many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

and how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks

till it sinks

we can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away

go away

so tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

state of things

we got stuck; this faded love's not enough. with no direction it's straight out of luck

yeah that explains the state of things

how many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

and how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks

till it sinks?

we can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away

go away

so tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

state of things

alone in the night

though you're still by my side

nobody's wrong but i know

this ain't right

so tell me how many tears can we hold until somebody blinks?

and tell me how many holes can we put in this boat till it sinks

till it sinks

we can try to ignore it just comes back for more it won't go away

go away

so tell me how long we can both carry on in this state

in this state

state of things
