Lyrics:

I see you’re happier with him
I can hear your laughter 
I envision grins
And I can’t lie 
I get a little pissed
To know that
I’m just a ghost that you reminisce 
I was a bump in your journey
Was a burden to you
I wasn’t really a thing but a lesson to you
And what is that lesson?
I wish I knew
Now I’m just another guy who you used to talk to

And I’d talk talk talk
About trying my best
And I’d let let let 
You down just like the rest
So I’ll say say this
With my own chest
That I still love you 
Cause you were always the best

And I know
That great things do take time
But am I even worth your time
Cause at the end of the line
I’ll leave behind
All the points where I fucked up

Re trace my steps and see the faults in my lines
I can tell you all the stupids things about my design
I’m overweight and all the thoughts inside my head are bout dying
I wish that I could be different 
But you know that I’m trying
The moles on my face 
Signify all of my mistakes
I wish that I could be the one 
That you would call when it’s late
But I can’t be that
won’t let me be that
But if you ever change your mind
know that I’m 
always here

(Verse)
Our love wasn’t meant for sober eyes, but we were addicts too, so we don’t mind
With everything we've been through in this life, id give myself to you in time and time
I’ll rewrite our story in these lines cause I know you’ll play victim in every time
I’d still take you back even if you said hey, cause arguments and the feelings they never change

Re trace my steps and see the faults in my lines
I can tell you all the stupids things about my design
I’m overweight and all the thoughts inside my head are bout dying
I wish that I could be different 
But you know that I’m trying
The moles on my face 
Signify all of my mistakes
I wish that I could be the one 
That you would call when it’s late
But I can’t be that
won’t let me be that
But if you ever change your mind
know that I’m 
always here

Re trace my steps and see the faults in my lines
I can tell you all the stupids things about my design
I’m overweight and all the thoughts inside my head are bout dying
I wish that I could be different 
But you know that I’m trying

I wish that I could be different 
But you know that I’m trying

I wish that I could be different 
But you know that I’m trying

Casual Discussion In A Dome Between Two Temples

Lyrics

Sung words that I've never heard of
Pretend I know every line
You say what you want but you don't see

Each night we stay up for hours
Just on the end of the line
Waiting to talk yourself to sleep

I don't even know how to dance
But when you're around me I can

We should grow up us together
We can move where there's nice weather
California's not that far from us
We'll go in our dream car
They say that we won't last long
But I know they'll be proven wrong
So don't you worry I'll be here
For you, yes you forever, dear

Laid in the grass all night
Moonlight behind our heads
We headed back real fine
5am, back in bed

I like how we both hate the same things
And the way you talk about me
I like how we both hate the same things
Never been this much happy

We should grow up us together
We can move where there's nice weather
California's not that far from us
We'll go in our dream car
They say that we won't last long
But I know they'll be proven wrong
So don't you worry I'll be here
For you, yes you forever, dear

We should grow up us together
We can move where there's nice weather
California's not that far from us
We'll go in our dream car
They say that we won't last long
But I know they'll be proven wrong
So don't you worry I'll be here
For you, yes you forever, dear

Are We There Yet

We Both Hate (the same things)
