By the Sea

Skipping smooth black stones by the sea

Jeans are wet up to my knees

Back when I drank coffee with cream

I was easier to please

Duck into a frame of mind too small

To hold the chaos of it all

Glance around like a flower on a wall

Hoping maybe you would call

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

In that room alone

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

In that room alone

That room alone with me

Endlessly perusing used book stores

Stories sprawled out on the floor

Psycho thriller's what I'm searching for

Romance is such a bore

I swear I'm not the sentimental type

Perfected the art of goodbye

While collecting bits of people I like

I dream of them at night

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

In that room alone

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

In that room alone

That room alone with me

Maybe it's 'cause I'm not very cool

Maybe it's 'cause I act like a fool

In the company of my peers

I'm pretty weird

I don't know how to pretend I'm totally fine

if you walk out of here

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be

Don't wanna be stuck

In that room alone
