Swallow

You always told me I'd get over it I always said that you were wrong I'm disappointed, but not surprised Some kind of quick-witted monologue You said that you could almost picture it But it's not smart to shit where you eat And when I said I would consider it I was lying, lying through my teeth Can't put my finger on it Don't know what makes it so appealing I'm not begging for your affection I'm just addicted to the feeling I think I'm slowing down I feel you slipping now You've seen and I know how It tends to flicker out I was there when you were fun I'm like ice stuck to your tongue Dusty sweater in your trunk I can take a joke and run I see you standing around Drinking beer outside of your house I can almost make out the vowels I know what you talk about I thought about bringing you flowers To try to turn it around Gave up and stood in the shower I'll make do with or without Oh, just say it out loud Can't put my finger on it Don't know what makes it so appealing No, I'm not begging for your affection I'm just addicted to the feeling But the uniform never quite fit Antithesis to all your ways How the fuck am I convincing you? How the fuck am I convincing you?
