Goalposts in the Rearview

Lyrics by Joshua T Calkins-Treworgy

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
You changed your story
While your lips were still warm
Drew a brand-new line
Called it "how it's always been"
You keep your scoreboard
On an Etch A Sketch
Shake it up
Flip the rules
Then swear you never did

[Chorus]
So don't act shocked when I stop playing
You bent the field
Then blame the game
You lied
You twisted
Kept on straying
Now I'm just walking
Just walking away
Goalposts in the rearview
Shrinking by the day

[Verse 2]
You want one more round
With the loaded dice
Ask for "evidence"
Then burn it on the side
You practice outrage
Like a party trick
Say I'm "overreacting"
While you move the net again

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register] You say
"Why so quiet?
We were having fun"
You were breaking every promise
Calling it "a little run"
You say
"Why so distant?
You used to love debate"
I got tired of arguing
With a smirk that came pre-baked

[crescendo] You want my patience
You filed it down
Till it snapped
Till it snapped
You want my trust
You sold it cheap
Now it's gone
Now it's gone (hey!)

[Chorus]
