Placebos Songtext

von Paper Aeroplanes

All my days, all my days are gone
When I could sleep with the light off
Skip to Spring, and you came along
Filled me up with placebos 'til I've found the cure

Can I be by you if I cannot be by myself?
And can I keep it pure with all this poison in my chest?
And can I let it go when I hang on to every step?
With all the things I hoard hidden behind the door 'til I've found the cure

Kept my voice in an empty jar
Kept my promises broken for far too long
And I laid my hat, but it wasn't home
Filled me up with placebos 'til I've found the cure

Can I be by you if I cannot be by myself?
And can I keep it pure with all this poison in my chest?
And can I let it go when I hang on to every breath?
With all the things I hoard hidden behind the door 'til I've found the cure

'Til I've found the cure
'Til I've found the cure
'Til I've found the cure (Can I be by you?)
'Til I've found the cure (Can I be by you?)
'Til I've found the cure
