Tell me one more time
Say it again I’m still confused
Patch things up
For a month
Look at us
Doing stuff
Think too much
Mess things up and
Start over again
Putting feelings aside
Tell me one more time but don’t accuse
I might struggle with the words but
All the what is this
And the I don’t knows
The what are you doing, I try
All the kissed up faces
And then I need space it’s
Hard to keep up
But I try
These responsibilities don’t phase me
But let’s do some acknowledging while we’re aging
I know what you said
That’s why I’m upset
I remember past events
Even as a friend
You’d live in my head
I always had trouble with words but
All the what is this
And the I don’t knows
The what are you doing, I try
All the kissed up faces
And then I need space it’s
Hard to keep up
But I try
All the what is this
And the I don’t knows
The what are you doing, I try
All the kissed up faces
And then I need space it’s
Hard to keep up
But I try
All the what is this
And the I don’t knows
The what are you doing, I try
All the kissed up faces
And then I need space it’s
Hard to keep up
But I try

Always knew it would be LA
Let me know if you move out this way
Couple shows by the coast some day
But whose life is this
Am I a wife and kids kind of guy
A white picket fence by the drive
I don’t know but we kind of tried in our own way
I’ll be your forty three
A long time from now I can guarantee
But will you recognize me
Will you still be living free
I put sugar in my coffee now
And I might spend some time among the clouds
You tried to show me the ropes
But I was stuck inside vanilla clothes
And it goes
And it goes
And it goes
But it’s love so it’s all fair
Stranded for the summer
SOS but with each other
Branded for the lovers
But we still don’t share the covers
I’ll be your forty three
A long time from now I can guarantee
But will you recognize me
Will you still be living free
You name the time
Somewhere down the line
Until then I’ll be fine here
I promise you
If it never comes
At least it did once
But there’s never a rush here
You should know
I’ll be your forty three
A long time from now I can guarantee
But will you recognize me
Will you still be living free

This time I bored myself dumb
And both of my hands are numb again
I’m stuck in place and I can’t leave
I can’t afford anymore fun
I pay by the gram and run again
I stay up most nights until three
It just feels right to me
Walking ‘round drunk in the street
When in the LBC
Help me off this fabric seat
And convince me to leave
Aim my chair at the TV
Partying just me and me
Just what’s the point
I did my years
I’m disappointed but still here
I made a choice
Where’s the career
No one employs just volunteers
I stay up most nights until three
It just feels right to me
Walking ‘round drunk in the street
When in the LBC
There’s no point to my degree
When all I do is sleep in
Escape reality
Partying just me and me

I’ll come back
It’s too bad
Just how fast
Summer flies
I feel off
Kinda often
And I dodge butterflies
Just like you so don’t be surprised
Take some time before you decide
Cause I’m not, that different
And I’m going through something
It’s the thought, that glistens
But I’m not the real thing
It’s the messed up the composition
Held together by a string
Come back in a few months
If that will be enough
Pay me no mind you’ll find
Someone else for this
Don’t waste your time, you’ll like
Me better at a dist-ance
I’ll fall out of fashion
Like any distraction
I break apart
Before it starts
Whatever it takes
You’re not your mistakes
Find a new place
it’s a new day
I’m treading water
I never pray
How am I mad that I’m at the same place
I’m treading water
Don’t ask for help
Do it myself
Who do I blame when it doesn’t go well
Don’t trust
Adjust
All rush
And then what
