V1
One way
an escape
sounds too sweet
follow the path
you laid out for me
glutted on the greener grass
grass of a cleaner kind
glutted on the kind of things
you only learn to need with time
Hook
And I heard brighter days
were right around the corner
we're headed for a place
my momma always warned me about
I gotta get outta town
V2
So it's okay
you don't have to run away
so it's okay
be here after you play
we'll beg you for more
pour our love over you
coat you like sweat
I'll bet you know how that feels
when the lights are burning

A remix of Public Speaking’s “Eyes Can't Stop Listening” amplifies the song’s dark core, slowing down the tempo and swaddling it in shadow. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2022
