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

You're making love like a [bad word] 
I feel your heart barely beating for us

Yeah, that explains the state of things

How many tears can we hold untill somebody blinks?

And how many holes can we put in this boat 'till it sinks?

'Till it sinks

We can try to ignore

It [bad word] 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 fading love's not enough

With no direction, straight out of love

Yeah, that explains the state of things

How many tears can we hold untill somebody blinks?

And how many holes can we put in this boat 'till it sinks?

'Till it sinks

We can try to ignore

It [bad word] 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 untill 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 [bad word] 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
