Jamie T - Between The Rocks

Selling gold years ago
It's written on the backdrop
Any time you take a tumble
Kicking from the mascot
Passed up masochist for cocaine
Jacked up, stealing the cold harbor blame
Like I don't feel the same
Like I don't feel the same anymore (anymore)
Steal the wheel
Catching feels
Looking like I'm tanked up
Any time you see me be a has-been, I'm a has but
The only prime time is the one in my brain
Jacked up taking the white heart again
Like I don't feel the shame
Like I don't feel the pain anymore
Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well, I tried to stop
I swear my dear, I press restart
Well, this time I fear
To hold you close
Won't go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places
Still find answers to uninvited guests
Uninspired gab but you're giving it your best
Kinda hard to find the real in a room of plagiarists
Everything I write, I feel another vibe ripped
Bleeps skipped, repackaged and shipped
Polished shit is still shit nonetheless (get it?)
When you want it, when you got it, when you need (anymore)
When the only one you loved has disappeared from your feed
But there's no telling what the tide will bring
No selling me that shit, you bet your life on it
I been in and out the past
Since before she went blast
And before they turned around and sold her plaques for it
Yeah
No kidding, what a way to make a living
Revolving in a door that will never stop spinning
And it's cynics, critics and half-cut mimics
Tickets and bigots
They're thick as thieves for the winning
And it's
Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well, I tried to stop
I swear my dear I press restart
Well, this time I fear
To hold you close
And we'll go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places
But still I keep writing with obsession
Only look away for a second 'cause I
Worry I will miss you looking back
And the memories will fade
If the pages are not written
And that's how I know I'm no different
And that's how I know I haven't changed
And that's how a couple thousand records (thank you very much)
Can turn platinum in a couple days (cheers)
'Cause I'm still in that very moment (that very moment) (in that very moment)
I'm just a thousand miles away (between the rocks)
Too caught up to be broken
And too let down to be played (between the rocks)
And I said thank you for that moment
And I will thank you one day (and the hard places)
Yeah, I'm a thank you for that moment
Between the rock and the hard place
Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well, I tried to stop
I swear my dear, I press restart
Well, this time I fear
To hold you close
And we go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places
Between the love and the hate
Watch you pull me apart
Well, I try to stop
I swear my dear, I press restart
Well, this time I fear
To hold you close
And we go too far
Between the rocks and the hard places
