Lyrics
(So I went from this place where I was
starting my new life in a new place...
And then I was back home,
And then I was back home indefinitely...
And, uh...)
No,
I’d rather do this on my
Own
I’ll steal from everyone I know
I’ll learn from them
And finally grow.
(And, uh...we weren’t technically dating even.
But we...we had been what felt like life partners.)
~
How ‘ya doin’, how’d you get here,
Do you have a way home?
I’m only askin’ ‘cause it seems like
You don’t wanna be alone
We’ve got something in common, can you feel it
Like you’re ready to burst?
I’ll give you everything I have
But you just gotta ask first
And if you do, I swear I’ll do my
Worst
~
Yeah, can we do this, will we make it,
Is it only tonight?
(Please don’t worry...)
You say “forever,” but
Never do I ever get it right.
(There’s no hurry...)
This is
Not what I’m used to, falling for you
Feels like floating away
Just say those words that we’ve been
Begging other people to say
And when you do, I swear to you I’ll
[]
Stay with you
I’ve never felt this so it
Must be true
Just keep me locked onto those
Baby blues
Don’t know what I’d do if I’d
Ever lose you...
(...we went from one day being we were
to the next being we weren’t...)
~
How’s it going, did you miss me,
Is there anyone home?
It’s been awhile since that smile
When I found you alone
Thing is, I’m getting nervous—what’s the purpose
If this ended up wrong?
Was I just dreaming, what’s the meaning
Did I ever belong?
And if I did, what’s taking you so
—
Long, farewell
Keep riding coattails and you’ll
Never fail
That’s what I’m saying to my
[]
Self, don’t tell
If you’re the coffin, I’m the
Final nail
(Yeah, you bet your ass
You’re gonna see me in fucking hell)
[]
This will grow
We won’t know until we
Let it go
Like we were born to, yeah it’s
Fast then slow
If this is love then I can’t
Wait to know...
(Alright, this is what you asked for
So here we fucking go)
—
(I’m not...gonna be able to do everything,
I’m not—I can’t control those stuff—all those things
And I dunno...it’s brought me a weird sort of peace
here.)
