lyrics

It was just a feeling
I was hoping would pass
A loose thread amidst a sweater
A small rip in a bag
Each minute felt like ages
Yet they passed and still it waited
If I asked you for a second,
You would give me a year
Watch me stumble through the wreckage
Mumble words in your ear
I keep pausing, hesitating
Losing sight of what I'm saying
Wait, what was I just saying?

She whispered "I love you", And I said
I'm so sorry for the mess,
I never meant to be like this
She screamed: "it's all inside your head,
my god, you do this to yourself.
You could have told me how you felt, and maybe talking could've helped
Sort out the hand that you were dealt..."

I watched the paint peel
On the window seal,
Easily comparing
The process to how I feel.
Pressure set in,
And eventually it cracked.
But you're still around,
Sketching pictures of the places we could go.
I'm such a mess,
Over analyzing everything I know.
It feels like I'm sitting back and waiting for my cue,
A whore sweating in the pews.
It's got nothing to do with you.
It's all me,
And my mind
That's eating me alive
Its always pushing out these thoughts
That ruin everything I like.
So I'll call, tonight.
You'll push all your plans aside
And I'll entertain the thought of leaving everything behind.

We burdened our beds
With soul mates,
To bulk up on better halfs.
Fantasizing love inside our heads.

The world is such a mystery,
It's weighing down on me
(I tried to wait it out,
But waiting gave birth to doubt,
And I couldn't sit around
Convincing myself to settle down.)
