Elephant Over Our Heads Lyrics

Held together, by a thread

Our fiber is unraveling

Keep your distance, keep your peace

Every time I turn to you, you feel so out of reach

Awkward movements, pregnant pause...

I try to swallow anxious thoughts

Stolen glances, I hold still

Trying to avoid the elephant over our heads

And I'm trying to act the same

But the elephant still remains

You feel different, you look the same

And the elephant is to blame

Unresponsive, check my pulse

Feel a coldness in my bones

Slow my breathing, hit a wall

Taking everything you do and say with grains of salt

And I'm trying to act the same

But the elephant still remains

You feel different, you look the same

And the elephant is to blame

Oh

Tired of the silence, mindless patterns

Feel you lean away from

My hands reaching out to touch you

Like I used to

What are you avoiding

Oh I'm tired

Change my habits

Of the silence

Careful breathing

Mindless patterns

Why am I only worth

Feel you lean away from

What you give to me

Feel you lean away from

My hands reaching

Watch your posture

Out to touch you

Is it towards me?

Like I used to

Is your purpose just to make me feel worthy

What are you avoiding

Oh
