Peter Bjorn & John - Firing Blanks lyrics

Assume I had a chance to clear things out alone But ticks I used to know were laying under earth My last surviving hope hade bidden me goodbye How loud I ever made that noise, how much it ever hurt Do understand, I'm just firing blanks For and hour every day, my mouth is overfilled With better things to say that I threw in your face Forget that battered truth, I made it up myself How hard it might have been, your defence was a waste Do understand, I'm just firing blanks Do understand, I'm just firing blanks
