Pulling Teeth (Audiotree Live Version)

just a voice memo
maybe you'll remember this from clock app

lyrics:
i'm stealing words
and i’m taking up time
i can't seem to stop myself when i’m already going
it's going to hurt
and it won't be fine
and inevitably, i am going to blow it

but i'm so seeeelfish
you know i can't heeeellllllp it
“it’s how i’m wired, i think”
is the excuse that i've been using 

i don't let my mind go there when she wants to
build a fence around it when it starts to
think about how you’ll be when you finally find somebody else
she’s gonna take up all your attention, understandably 
so, i’ll be pretending
trying hard and failing not to want you
i don’t let my mind go there when she wants
go there when she wants to

hearing your words
make their way into mine
saying sentences you’d say and i don’t even know it
is it what i deserve?
a lifelong appetite
never satisfied, never happens quite how i want it

oh i’m so seeeelfish
i let him let himseeeellllf in
“just for tonight, i think”
is the excuse that i’ve been using

i don't let my mind go there when she wants to
take the long way home if i have to
don’t even wanna begin to think of you with someone else
she’s gonna take up all your attention, understandably 
so, i’ll be pretending
trying hard and failing not to want you
i don’t let my mind go there when she wants
go there when she wants tooooooo

i feel the sun from both sides now
and yooooouuuuu
swore you could hear me when i called
hear me through the walls
what do we do

i’m just so seeeelfish
i could never heeeeeeellllpp it
“it’s how we’re wired, i think”
is the excuse that we’ve been using

i don't let my mind go there when she wants to
i try to block it out when it starts to
think about how i’ll be when i finally meet somebody else
but he could never hold my attention, not the way that you do 
i’ll be pretending
trying hard and failing not to want you
i don’t let my mind go there when she wants
go there when she wants to

when she wants (voice memo)

Lyrics:
I have so much of me to give
Laying on my floor like I did
When I was seventeen
I crawl into the sheets

Watching white lines on the road
Try to keep from crying
I hate the in-between
Of real life and reverie 

I miss you for you 
But I’m not sure that's how you feel too
I wanted you, and you wanted anyone
Anyone at all

And I happened to be there
In my head, you were everywhere
I liked the company
Laid out in front of me

When midnight passed, that’s when I knew
You couldn’t love me like I loved you
I knew I’d lose again
And lose my only friend

I think of you in intervals
Your name still comes up at the dinner table
I wanted everything, and you wanted to pick and choose
Pick and choose the parts that worked for you

And I swore I would fix you
And you promised you’d try
But I didn’t get to 
Because we ran out of time
And I swore we would make it
But you were unsure
You never planned to break it
Said it just wouldn’t work

I loved you, I know you heard me say
And you loved me too, but in a different way
You held me near, then held me out at arm’s length
Said you don’t love me, at least not that way
Don’t say you do if you’re not going to stay

Come June
