threeways Lyrics

She shows us her bedroom and says that we'll have to be quiet

She kisses you harder, I memorize it from above

Years later I'm not still not sure why that night feels so important

Behind the cheap fantasy, I wonder if it's because

Through her eyes I bet it seemed like we were super in love

The three of us out on a date, us and your ex-abuser

His salt's in the food, his words are mixed into the wine

You taste him on my tongue and get angry and scared and elusive

So for years, you said you were healing, you said you were mine

And if he hadn't been there, maybe we would've been fine

One two three ways

Of looking at everything

Yours, mine, with distance and time

The truth, and the lie, and the sting

And the three ways of looking at everything

You gush on your feed, I watch through a shallow glass filter

He's practically perfect, he's everything I couldn't be

But I'm in the wine and the salt and the joy at the table

If your walls aren't so high it's 'cause I cleared out the debris

Of course you feel better, you worked out your problems on me

I get anxious standing up for myself with my new lover

And when she is honest I'm still not sure how to behave

With no cruel accusations, no battlefield under the covers

I'm walking on eggshells, I'm trying to finally explain

Even after their gone, the third person always remains

One two three ways

Of looking at everything

Yours, mine, with distance and time

The truth, and the lie, and the sting

And the three ways of looking at everything
