Third Place

Music and lyrics by Cruz Contreras and Sam Quinn

flannel shirt, every inch of me hurt we were dying
monday night, the boys in the band they looked tired
magnetic pull, lights drove around in circles
leaning on you, leaning on me, collapsing

killing the time, side by side we were cheating life
all that aside, felt like i was flying
the word on your lip, your hands on your hip they were lying
the end of the street, at least i was trying

the chance you see the one that you need is a crapshoot
lost in a dream, the car in the lead took the third place

standing in line with the scariest lion at the circus
it sounds like a line, but at the time it had purpose
confidence hurts when it won’t be hers, defiance
here in the clouds, nothing lives here but silence

much like the south, all of the mountains were burning
you were running, i was running to you

all this aside, i was flying
all of this time i was wrong

all this aside, i was flying
all of this time you were gone
all this aside, i was flying
all of this time i was wrong

all this aside, i was flying
all of this time you were gone
