lyrics

It’s been, a while, since anything’s gone this well
I’m like, a child, learning how to spell
Sounding it out

You’ve got, eyes that, speak to me like mouths
And I am, so set on, figuring it out
Breaking up the syllables
And sounding it out

You’re so, distracting, but I guess that that’s ok
Daydreams, with wide eyes, stumbling through the day
I spent, 4 years, overthinking everything
I guess that, I still do, but it’s better when I’m with you
It’s better when I’m

I tend to say some things that I don’t mean
But so far I’ve found the self-restraint that I need
In future tense thinking and holding onto my breath
To prevent an early collapse of what little is left

It turns out
I wasn’t completely wrong

I'll spend, some years, overthinking everything
