Eat My Words

You got sun in your eyes Looks good on your cheeks And that raspberry hat Will you wear it for me I could've sworn I looked Twenty years older last night Maybe I was really Twenty years older last night I know these things that pass by unnoticed Make a hell of a difference when you notice them I've got my reasons for keeping it friendly He's a big shot, he could end me I know silence, I know patience I learned my manners, don't tell me they're wasted Look at me, nod your head I laugh until the room goes dead That's bad, gets worse Watch me eat my words That's bad, gets worse Watch me eat my words Watch me eat my words The morning light I found it under the sheets A month in Siena Maybe that's what I need I could have sworn I left it underneath the the journal you keep Maybe nothing's really underneath And all of the commas you gave me I keep Keep on going, I'm learning to breathe I'm sorry for getting too drunk and Killing your vibe with the headline band I know silence, I know patience He took my silence, and I lost my patience Look at me, nod your head I laugh until the room goes dead That's bad, gets worse Watch me eat my words That's bad, gets worse Watch me eat my words Watch me eat my words Watch me eat my words Watch me eat my words The morning light I found it under the sheets A month in Siena Maybe that's what I need I could have sworn I left it underneath the the journal you keep Baby nothing's really underneath
