Mutual Interest

I drove around all night because I couldn't sit at home I'm overthinking things you said And reading too much into what you don't I won't last another winter with this cold lonely apartment All my friends say I should lighten up But I'm only getting darker Maybe I'd seem less selfish With a mutual interest in progress It seems that when I digress It lacks a conscience That keeps you stressed So I'll tangle my roots in your flesh and your bone And make use of all the nutrients and call you my home And if you feel abandoned when you are alone Darling, please don't forget It takes some time and sunlight to grow People change and I'll admit I'm not immune I've gotten colder and grown distant I could say the same for you I'm losing touch I've run out of my luck I guess I wasn't good enough I'll keep this trapped inside my head And stapled in my skin Maybe I'd seem less selfish With a mutual interest in progress It seems that when I digress It lacks a conscience That keeps you stressed So I'll tangle my roots in your flesh and your bone And make use of all the nutrients and call you my home And if you feel abandoned when you are alone Darling, please don't forget It takes some time and sunlight to grow Maybe I'd seem less selfish With a mutual interest in progress It seems that when I digress It lacks a conscience That keeps you stressed The sun goes down but it will rise again That natural cycle gives me peace of mind So I'm not up all night craving the warmth and the light Shinning on my skin something we both miss
