Arlandria lyrics

Ain't that the way it always starts

A simple round of conversation

Became a shameful equation

I flipped you station to station

Hey, don't go and turn the other way

Don't say there's nothin' more to say

Come on, hear me out

Hush, hush, settle down

Button up, don't make a sound

Shame, shame, go away

Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been saving it up, I started saving it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started giving you up, I started giving you up

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God you gotta make it stop

Chase all of those memories away

Save them all for another day

Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you

Wait!

I want to see if you can shake

I want to keep all I can take

I feel much better now

Use me up, spit me out

Let me be your hand-me-down

Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been saving it up, I started saving it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started giving you up, I started giving you up

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia

I'm the same as I was in your arms

My sweet Virginia

I'm the same as I was in your heart

Shame, shame go away

Come again some other day

Memories keep haunting me

Help me chase them all away

Hush, now settle down

Button up, don't make a sound

Close your eyes, turn around

Help me burn this to the ground

Come now, take the blame, that's okay, I'll play the game

I don't care, it's all the same, watch it all go up in flames

Use me up, spit me out

Let me be your hand-me-down

Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough

So I've been saving it up, I started saving it up

And when you said I couldn't give you enough

I started giving you up, I started giving you up

You are not me, Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army, Arlandria, Arlandria?

Oh, God you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia

Oh God you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia

Oh God you gotta make it stop
