Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And stop
'Cause why'd you have to kill my cat?
Why'd I have to take you back?
And time and time, I play the empath
I don't know why
There's some lights on in an empty pub
A toilet with the seat left up
Is closure like a deer in headlights
[Chorus]
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
[Verse 2]
So let's talk about what I want to do
'Cause all I want to do is turn back time
At least a couple Tuesdays
To before I found one life turn two
I said it last time
But I'm not afraid of empty rooms
I'm not afraid of new perfume
And, in fact, my dear, I'm fucking terrified
[Chorus]
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
Woo
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future
Maybe one day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
Note: In the acoustic version, the line "And time and time, I play the empath" is changed to "And why'd I always play the empath?"
