Sometimes the Darts Hit the Wall

from Nothing Lasts Forever (B​-​Sides) by Noah Derksen

/

lyrics

I wanted to ask you the simplest of questions
what’s that look that you’re throwing my way
it’s pain mixed with hate mixed with my own reflection
so I try, but I can’t look away

it’s 4pm in this stranger’s apartment
I’m looking in on the darkest of days
I see a jealous heart that plays the part, it’s searching for blame
tell me, babe, will this ever change

change, change
so I try, but I can’t look away

you could say that it’s my imperfections
you could say that the timing’s just off
or you could spin a globe, watch it roll
thinking somewhere else must be better
but sometimes the darts hit the wall

the wall, wall
sometimes the darts hit the wall

the fading of light casts a shade on the counter
swinging a hinge as you reach up above
but with broken glass now the moment’s passed to a night of cold shoulders
nothing quite hurts like your love
