Cuddled up in the common room
Our eyes droop in the dust of the morning bloom
Will any words I speak work to overwrite this harried time?
Smash a hand on the table just to reassociate
Grab my thigh and I say that I'm okay
I wrap a limb around and apologize
The pressure from your chin cut my lips from the inside
I want you to hurt me so I don't hurt myself
Composing little themes in lieu of lying down
I thought I was something, but I might be something else
I'm impressed by everything
Every little thing that you say and think
But some things don't feel right and now I feel alone
We'll talk on the phone for an hour or two
And I think about visiting you on an hour drive away
While I furrow inside
The tremble in your voice hugged my throat from the inside out
I said what I'm thinking
But now my mouth is soaked with doubt
I'm writing little tunes in lieu of lying down
Before I can know you I need to know myself
I'm not usually like this
I guess these days I am
And after all the excitement
I can never seem to plan
I'm not usually like this
I guess these days I am
And after all the excitement
I can never seem to plan
I'm not usually like these
I guess these days I am
And after all the excitement
I can never seem to plan
Just what comes next
Or what I want
Or what I need
Do I need anything at all?
Can I keep myself from asking
Brendan why
Are you acting out again?
Did you think it'd be different than the last time?
Brendan why are you acting out again?
Did you think it'd be different?
