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
Use 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 we’re 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
State of things
