lyrics

You've brought every conversation I've tried to start to an end with thoughtless filler responses like "yeah me too" and "that's cool." Forgive me for giving up and looking down at my feet. I've never noticed how much noise there is in silence. Like your short but forceful breathing and sighing from time to time I am reminded to mind my eyes when they meet yours in the mirror and I am greeted with a look that's trying very hard to kill me and so you turn on the music to drown it all out.

You've had every opportunity to end this night with a smile but you're clinging to anger even though you know that I'm the first to admit that I'm flawed and that my patience is finite but I feel justified in biting my tongue. And then I'm suddenly taken back to when I was a kid and we were never giving up and you can do anything you put your mind to. Apply my fathers advice to my younger self so I'll avoid confrontation and ride this one out.

Maybe I'm alone in this thinking. Stutter and I'm under a lot of pressure in case you forgot. Maybe I have been over thinking this.

I don't believe in much, but I believe in conversation (shit talk, and I'm holding them to the things they say as I'm walking away). Nobody asks for a lot but still they got their expectations
(Somehow I imagined this differently, spending another night at home).

But at least I'm here with you, that's something worth holding on to. Fuck them we’ll go home and stay in bed watching movies and its cool, I'll tell you I love you. Pretty girl, tonight it's you and me.
