Sometimes you open up to someone then it gets awkward.

.

Indulgent junk philosophies
Clutter up my arteries
and I can’t help what sets us both apart

Ten thousand of my calories
Spent wondering what you think of me
Ever since I bared my naked heart

and I don’t really care
could you care for me?
I don’t really care
I wish that I would, desperately

Stare across the fissure
See my reflection in your picture
I wish that I had stuck up for you

‘What are you doing here?’
I burst, disperse and disappear
With oil and gas both trailing off my shoe

Not everybody tries
but you listen with your eyes
To hear what I can see
I wish that I would, desperately

How do you come back?
From something like that
Honesty like that
etc.

DNMs

Maybe science will solve our selfishness.

She sees me as just another boy on Mars
She told me to get my head out of the stars
Last night I dreamt I picked her up in a self-driving car
She told me she doesn't think we'll get that far

Don't go away
No not today

She buys her haircuts online
to save time
She thinks that I don't like her
just because we never chat

We never chat and that's that
She doesn't hear me
with the ear phones in her ears

We never chat and that's that
She doesn't hear me
with the ear phones in her ears

Don't go away
No not today

She buys her haircuts online
She says it's just to save time
and to be fair my barber's pretty slow
But he tells me about footy and the things he knows
Shakes my hand
when it's time to go

I'll make you an offer that you can't refuse
A home-cooked meal and a walk to your door
Maybe one day she'll look up and see me

I'll make you an offer that you can't refuse
A home-cooked meal and a walk to your door
Maybe one day she'll look up and see me

The tension between the introvert and the extrovert, the thinker and the doer, the frog and the function.

Hanging with your housemates
you are a rental family
and your ex-housemate's boyfriend's
the only one who understands me

I read about the beach
Those feelings I'll never reach
I wish that you could teach me
I wish that you could teach me

Double date with Jamie
We are kind of the same
Except Jamie likes to skydive
and I prefer to daydream

I dream about the beach
Those feelings I'll never reach
I wish that you could teach me
I wish that you could teach me

We talked about the scuba
He offered to be my Uber
He's got other friends
One is a big Youtuber

He makes videos about the beach
Feelings I'll never reach
I wish that you could teach me
I wish that you could teach me

Making Friends

learning from your mistakes

I've never seen anyone ever so happy to see me
and I've never seen anyone so happy to see me go
I messed up along the way
Listen to a sad song on the radio

She cut me off mid-sentence
of a sad story with a happy ending
I made fun of the shop attendants
but it wasn't really like me

She said call me
just like the girls say it on TV
She said call me
Turns out that means that she's not calling me

I waited two hours
On second thought I should have waited two days
On third thought I don't think it mattered anyway

And I know what I'm gonna do next time
Gonna finish my sentence with a happy line
I'll refrain from ambiguous statements
like 'is this a date?'

Put my arm around her shoulder
gonna tell her what I should have told her
You are the one

She didn't pick up
Turns out a lot can be said by not saying a lot
Maybe she didn't see or she forgot

She said call me
Turns out that means that she's not calling at all

Never thought I'd hear a girl say it like that to me

Call Me

find that one person who's on the same page as you

.

I have no desires
I have no direction
I'm just a sucker for human connection

I can't tell the truth from a lie
So forgive me for standing by, blandly shy
There is no cause to cry
Just stare

Love is an ugly word
when you're searching
You make it beautiful

Love is such a bitter word
on the street
You make it sweet

I met you before this mess
You take me back
and a weight off my chest

I also broke a tea set
I almost spilt my tea
When the waitress looked at me and said
she said to me

You can see it all online
Be my only fan, blandly shy
Well I can't tell the truth from a lie
so stare

Love is such an ugly word
when you're searching
You make it beautiful

Love is such a bitter word
on the street
You make it sweet

It's not my scene
No ma'am
It's not my scene

Love is such an ugly word
When you're searching
You make it beautiful

Love is such a bitter word
on the street
You make it sweet

Searching

in a world where dreams don't come true, a rumour will have to do

.

Sometimes there's a spark you can hardly see
I saw you at the park but you walked by me
Two years ago feels like ancient history
Things are getting dark I can hardly see

Every way I turn is just a drop in the sea
Everything I learned was temporary
I wish I was welcome in your sanctuary
Things are getting dark I can hardly see

But now, despite all we know
There's nowhere for us to go

Dreams don't come true
but I head a rumour about you
On the floor with someone else
It should have been me

Dreams don't come true
but a rumour will have to do

You're so disarming
you make me open up
To the point of abuse of [your] hospitality (pls don't abuse any hospo workers on my account)

It's so alarming
Connection breaking down
and the rules aren't what I thought they'd be

Dreams don't come true
Dreams don't come true

Dreams don't come true
but I heard a rumour about you
There's a world where you need me
In my string theory

Dreams don't come true
but I heard a rumour about you
There's a world where you need me
In my string theory

Dreams don't come true
Dreams don't come true

Dreams don't come true

who likes parties anyway
.
Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd be so lonely

There is this girl who's my best friend
We go to house parties
and we don't talk to anybody
We spend our Friday nights in

People dancing
Clipping through the walls
like the ghosts inside their vapes

Ignoring
the strangest kinds of things
I'm not on the same page

Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd have no faith

Influencers lie regularly
You tell the truth for me
I don't get that from everybody
Come to a house party with me

Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd be so lonely
Without you
I'd have no faith

Lonely
