lyrics
i walked into his house and nothing felt untouched
the shower was still warm and the tv screen still wet
your parents slept downstairs under a dirty napkin they carved out in the spring
as it all fell to a close they hadn’t heard us growing old or getting tired of things
it never made sense
the loss had might as well be a gain
offended by attraction
inching closer and closer and closer with crossed eyes
why must you wait
so after all of it this is what I’m thinking
one: everything looked OK from a distance
there was never a concrete half-way point
a drop off
the summer we decided everything from a coin flip
wasn’t all that much easier
why must you wait
your temperament is thrown away
i'll pick you up some other day
and with all else aside
no one sees you when you hide
going off the path off the side
you put in four i'll put in five
drill a hole in the bottom of your cup
the last time to be one upped
the balloons brought me down
and I thought i’d feel much bigger
walking towards what we could have shrined
i knew better than to take your advice after you had gnawed and gnawed and gnawed and not forgotten
you are talking at an overwhelming rate
and now i know why i can’t find the blood
why must you wait
your temperament is thrown away
i'll pick you up some other day
and with all else aside
no one sees you when you hide
going off the path off the side
you put in four i'll put in five
drill a hole in the bottom of your cup
the last time to be one upped
