Lyrics

All my life
I’ve been told
That I don’t have to
(I’ve workshopped all the ways I can say no)
There comes a time
To break the mold
I’ve got the strength to
(Have a good time just let go)
Cos all the things that say they’ll kill me
Make a better conversation
Take apart a hard earned schedule
Shrink me down to minuscule
Drops of sweat that blur the skyline
Wash my things up on a shoreline
Tell whoever’s next to me
That I’ve never met someone like them before
In your eyes
Have I been the best I could’ve
(I know I’m not consistent with my words)
I’ll be fine
You didn’t ask
But I thought I’d tell you
(If nothing else for empty reassurance)
Cos what is talking if not singing
Stringing vague pictures together
Shout the countdown to your birthday
We could be this loud forever
Crossing names off a heart throb list of
Pop punk bassists from the mid 2000s
You are next to me and
I’ll never meet someone like you again
I walk around this house like a hologram
Just bust the circuit say I am
New
You will meet me a thousand times
Cos all the things that say they’ll kill me
Make a better conversation
Take apart a hard earned schedule
Shrink me down to minuscule
Drops of sweat that blur the skyline
Wash my things up on a shoreline
Tell whoever’s next to me
That I think I’ve seen their face somewhere before
