about change

lyrics:
you called me up again for god knows why
another wasted night with you 
telling me about how all your friends are not enough

and i am pretty tired
i know it’s early there 
but i’ve been up for thirty hours 
taking twenty minute showers

stuck in bed i can’t get up
and i can’t bear to talk about us more tonight 

i haven’t felt the same way 
about somebody since you left
please leave me be
so i might find some peace

i know i’m to involved at best
or just obsessed at worst 
with the memories i have of you
pull them out, my aching tooth 

let me go
cus i can’t trust myself to

one last call
you told me what you thought
what you thought

but i’ve tried to talk about this 
we’ve brought this up before
how could you call this a blind side
could you put me at fault

i was crying on the sidewalk
you said “if you’re so sad 
then why are you doing this?”

you said “if you’re so sad then why are we”

tryna talk about this 
we’ve brought this up before
how could you call this a blind side
could you put me at fault

i was crying on the sidewalk
you said “if you’re so sad 
then why are you doing this?”

you said “if you’re so sad then why are we”

were you that 
convinced then
we’re choked up on the phone about
how you said 
you’re broken
and i’m the one who pushed you off 

were you that 
convinced then
we’re choked up on the phone about
how you said 
I won’t open up
and i thought, not to you i won’t

and i thought not to you i won’t 
and i thought not to you i won’t
and i thought not to you i won’t

dumb fuck

object impermanence

glad to be here :)

On commitment.

~ lyrics ~
When acknowledgement of need
And crying on my chest ain't enough
When talking to your mother and telling her
She needs someone like me ain't enough

Then please won't you kindly
Remove me from your plans
I won't be needing all your time no more

'Cause if you left it up to me
I'd crack to any of your needs
A dog that's sitting pretty at your door

So if it's not too much to ask
Take me for a walk

Ah you'd take me to the beach
And we would sprint across the sand
You'd throw a stick I'd run to get it
And promptly bring it back

And this would be
The best thirty minutes to an hour
I've had in god it's been a while
I'd kill a kid to see you smile

And you'd go out you'd leave me in your house
And I'd try my best not to eat your couch
But I can't promise much about the shoes
Until you take me for a walk

I'll be you're mental health companionship
I'll try on all your traumatic experiences
'Cause don't they look so good on me ah

Put me in that little hat
You've always liked how stupid that
Would look on me
Or make me look

And I would wear it I don't care
You wanna show me off then
Put that collar on
And take me
For a walk

On home .. 

~ lyrics ~
Home for the week
A semi-embarrassed
Check up on your friends
That you kinda forgot about

Struggle to speak
Conversation clunkier
Than what you remember
But you don't remember

When we would
Sit in your car for an hour
The parking lot lights start
Exposing your cowardice

Circling feelings you can't
Shake the shame from
The more that you hurt
The better you

The better you get
Ahh
The better you

The better you get
Ahh
The better you

Take me and leave
Drive me down the coast
The smell alone will cut the panic out
Topics I forgot about

Lacing our speech
Padding out the time while I'm
Trying to apologise
But can't get it out

ok

Who are you to remember
Your own imperfect reflections
On all your calculated missteps
The more that you hurt
The better you

The better you get
Ahh
The better you

The better you get
Ahh

The better you get
I've been walking back
Every way that I could've said it

And oh
Oh I get that you're trying
And It's progress
But this time I won't wait up

This time I won't wait up
This time I won't wait up

Better

On forgiveness ..

~ lyrics ~
I woke up to you taking a picture of yourself
In my arms
And when I asked you said you sent it to your best friends
Back home

And you seemed surprised at my surprise
Was that a weird thing to do
I said no I liked it thought it seemed like
It wasn't something you'd do

Ah the things you said to me
Oh the things you said to me
Oh the things you said to me
Oh the things you said to

Should I just buy myself a second toothbrush
To leave at your house
You asked me on a Wednesday night
As you got undressed
And it took me out

And you seemed surprised at my surprise
Like is that a weird thing to do
I said no I liked it though I can't lie
I can't believe you'd want that too

Ah the things you said to me

Ah the things you said to me
Ah the things you said to me
Ah the things you said to me
All the things you said to

The lighting in the department store reflects
My faults in the backs of your eyes
We outlined all of the ways we wished we matched
Good talk, hold hands

Ah the things you said to me

Oh the things you said to me
Oh the things you said to me
Oh the things you said
Oh the things you said
Ah the things you said to me
