Sympathy Vote

Yeah, can you feel how fast my heart's beating?

I can't slow this thing down man

Oh, my mind it races but never wins, like the lesser twin

My friends must all know by now I'm spent

Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin

I know I'm not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance

And for all we know

You were a landslide bringing victory home

But the story goes

They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

Can't we all be just a bit fleeting?

What you say, what you're believing in

Formulate a stance in your tiny little expert opinion

Then turn the page and wonder

When did we age so gracelessly?

Feel our fabric fade and pull apart thread by thread

And for all we know

You were a landslide bringing victory home

But the story goes

They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

Yeah, can you feel how fast my heart's beating?

I can't slow this thing down man

Oh, my mind it races

And for all we know

You were a landslide bringing victory home

But the story goes

They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

My friends, they all know by now I'm spent

Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin

I know I'm not there in person, but I'm worth the long distance

Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?

I can't slow this thing down man

Oh, my mind it races but it never wins
