The Goon Sax – We Can't Win lyrics

[Verse 1: Louis Forster]
I was told
To distance myself from a situation
When it makes me nervous
But I don't want distance
When distance always seems to be the thing
That comes and hurts us

[Chorus 1: Louis Forster]
We can't win
How can I feel alright
When I'll hate myself for it?
And this feeling in the back of my head since I woke up
I can't ignore it

[Verse 2: Louis Forster]
You told me
You wanted to spend some time alone
I understood, but just wanted you here
And when the bus went
Past your house and past your stop and didn't stop
My eyes filled with tears

[Chorus 2: Louis Forster]
We can't win
These nights staring at your back
Have made me lonely
We don't want distance
But it seems to come to us so easily
We can't win

[Verse 3: Riley Jones]
I was told
To distance myself from a situation
When it makes me nervous
But I don't want distance
When distance always seems to be the thing
That comes and hurts us

[Chorus 3: Riley Jones]
We can't win
How can I feel alright
When I'll hate myself for it?
And this feeling in the back of my head since I woke up
I can't ignore it

[Chorus 4: Louis Forster & Riley Jones]
We can't win
Oh, we can't win
We can't win
You can't see through tired eyes
We can't win
Compare two nights by taxi price
We can't win
Look at your tired eyes
We can't win
Hanging on to the street lights
