Nothing but air
January 4th 2014
Lyrics and Music: JBJ

Like in a kettle on the stove the tension in the air is rising.
That’s something that can happen when two heart breakers start a war.

You could hear whispers in the air, I finally found some quiet out here.
Why she’s even angry I have just begun to misunderstand.

Hey, maybe I’ll run, get out of here.
Maybe I’ll run, I just can’t stay here.

I’ve been sitting on the side, watching as we drop the bombs.
Maybe we should realize that this cold war is getting warm.

Hey, maybe I’ll run, get out of here.
Maybe I’ll run, I just can’t stay here.

And I feel like we’re going ‘round in circles, random shots in the dark just thinking we’ve won, but we’re really hitting nothing but air.
We’re really hitting nothing but air.

Like in a kettle off the stove, the tension in the air is dying
That’s something that can happen when two heartbreakers drop the war.

I’ve been sitting on the side asking if you could come home.
Right up until I realized that in truth it was me that was gone…
