Verse #1
Only two weeks since we last spoke
Feels like two days or a bad joke
We get dinner on a weeknight cause I know you have work in the morning, you’ll have to go early
And I’ll smile, and you’ll say
How are you doing, I hope things are okay
How the new job, and the new place?
You feeling better that we met here face to face
Pre-chorus
I just want to be friends
Chorus
I don’t want to waste your time
Cause you’re not going to change my mind
I just want you to live your life
And I’m just going to stay in mine
Verse #2
I know your friends never liked me
I was an antisocial, early morning, string bean
And you’d get angry when I wouldn’t tell you what all my songs were about, well, not about you
And it’ll take time to notice
Something beautiful inside all the ugliness
Please remember that no matter what happens it all meant something to me
Pre Chorus
I just want to be friends
Chorus
I don’t want to waste your time
Cause you’re not going to change my mind
I just want you to live your life
And I’m just going to stay in mine
Bridge
Too young for now, but not for long
Find someone, carry on
It’s getting late, just come on over
Stay at home, its’ getting colder
Outro
Nah nah nah nah nah nah…

Verse #1
Am I your fool?
Am I the one that you love?
Am I your fool?
Am I the one that you dream of?

Late night phone calls
Where have you been
Sorry I was busy
I love you, but
I’m getting tired and anxiety is winning
All I wanted was you

Now I’m alone
Starting feel sorry for myself
Now I’m alone
Sitting at home, doing drugs by myself

Late night phone calls
Where have you been
Sorry I was busy
I love you, but
I’m getting tired and anxiety is winning
All I wanted was
That classic, drop everything, kind of love

In my head, I feel all right (3x)
In my head I’m not all right

Take me to your leader
Show me who you are

Some things they don’t make sense

Warp the fragile lobes which made me blind

Another heart shaped spec of left debris

Verse #1
I’ve got the feeling
No more lonely Friday nights
A backroom bathroom calls me sweetly
Turn around don’t dim the lights
Chorus
I don’t know what you want me to say
It don’t feel right anyway
I’m too fucked up again, just trying to see straight
Another heartache playing a fake
Verse #2
Why are you crying?
Did he leave with her instead?
Say something awkward, try to hide it
Did I help you to forget?
Chorus
I don’t know what you want me to say
It don’t feel right anyway
I’m too fucked up again, just trying to see straight
Another heartache playing a fake
Bridge
I see your shadow standing somewhere in the hallway, I just thought it might be better if I go
Endless stages of these misread situations and I wonder if I’ll ever really know
Creating visions of another life, I see you standing by me on the sidewalk, hold my hand and say you love me
Glamorizing nothing might be better than me gushing over maybes’ come on baby, maybe come on baby maybe baby come on
Chorus Final
I don’t know what you want me to say
Just tell me to my face
I’m too fucked up again, just trying to see straight
Another heartache playing a fake

Verse #1
Hello
Do you know who you are
A little strange and bizarre
Spun outta control
Now
You’re the reason I stay
Why I’m unwilling to change
Suck me in, don’t let me go
Pre Chorus #1
Trading breath and trading heat
Fuck the world slow and sweet
Lust and angst filled peach pit stomach
Is this the feeling, I’m succumbing
Chorus
Show me your love (4x)
Verse #2
I scream
Just to empty my lungs
To make use of my tongue
Throw me on the floor and leave me there
Pre Chorus #2
I’ll show you where my temper hides
Just beneath these swollen eyes
Murder all my hopes and dreams
Sew up my mouth to hide the screams
Chorus
Show me your love (4x)
Bridge Breakdown*
Chorus
Show me your love (4x)
