End
Falling out of touch again
Strange to think it's been any other way
And will you tell me when I'm at my best
Cause these things start to matter less and less
But the dopamine's flowing, I'm fine
It's sitting bitter
It's coming back harsh
I start it over
It's only the first time that I've tried to be this way
No faults, and only every ordinary
Gone
Has it really been that long
Only ever wanted to connect and be connected
Remembered for a while
Plastic flowers last forever
And the dopamine's flowing, I'm fine
It's sitting bitter
It's coming back harsh
I start it over
It's only the first time that I've tried to be this way
No faults, and only every ordinary
It's sitting bitter
It's coming back harsh
I think it over
And I'm leaning towards no

Said I'm sorry, I don't know where to go from here
And you could hardly call this a way to be
Midnight walking cause I don't have someplace to be in the morning
I'm running nowhere fast
Listen closer, you might just get impressed by me
I'd love to know that I'm doing something right
Nervous talking, I'm trying to make you think I know what I'm doing
I'm losing place and time
And I could climb but I'd rather fall for you
Take my time cause I don't have much to do
Tell me there's nowhere good I'm going to
Any time soon well I'd agree with you
Said I'm sorry, I don't know where to go from here
And you could hardly call this a way to be
Though I'm only as good as I can make myself look on paper
I'll take your suggestions please
And I could climb but I'd rather fall for you
Take my time cause I don't have much to do
Tell me there's nowhere good I'm going to
Any time soon well I'd agree with you
I could climb but I'd rather fall for you
Take my time cause I don't have much to do
Tell me there's nowhere good I'm going to
Any time soon well I'd agree with you

Never to be
Everything to me
Always what I see
Always what I see
Locked away in dreams
Grasp at straws for things to say
That I don't even mean
Same as ever
When your life is a candle you say what you must
Midnight heat into daytime tarnish and rust
Feel the weight of the emptiness pushing down
You will grow to remember this fondly
Daydreams and aspartame lies
Say you'll be there by my side
And I know it may look like I'm running
But I'm just along for the ride
And I leave you behind like lost blood or broken teeth
Moving along
What's been going on
What's been going wrong
Nothing going on
Same as ever
Does it hurt when I tell you to change your mind
Do you know what it's like to be out of time
Just be sure to keep laughing and I'll be fine
You will grow to remember this fondly
("I'm trying" I say as I tell myself this is a temporary setback and soon I'll be
Better than ever and well on my way to a life where I have something real to wake up for
Chamomile tea leaves at three in the morning, they don't help me sleep but at least I can feel like I'm
Working to change these old patterns I've fallen into)
Daydreams and aspartame lies
Say you'll be there by my side
And I know it may look like I'm running
But I'm just along for the ride
Does it hurt when I tell you to change your mind
Do you know what it's like to be out of time
Just be sure to keep laughing and I'll be fine
You will grow to remember this fondly
Daydreams and aspartame lies
Say you'll be there by my side
And I know it may look like I'm running
But I'm just along for the ride

I saw a previous roommate the other day
I didn't wave cause I hated him anyway
I'm getting over a cold and some other things
I'm finally taking the time to take it easy
Spending way too long trying to get my hair to fall the way I want it to
But I don't mind
Cause I've got time
These are the days that I'll remember
These are the times that I'll look back on and say, hey
I was happy then
I hope I didn't peak already but I'll never know till it's too late
The rain is falling hard on my umbrella
I'm smiling cause I know the plants appreciate it
I'm lucky to have known someone like you
I hope you all know that I'm gonna miss you
I hope you know I'll think about the times we spent together when I'm old and tired
I won't mind
Cause I'll have time
These are the days that I'll remember
These are the times that I'll look back on and say, hey
I was happy then
I hope I didn't peak already but I'll never know till it's too late
I'll never know till it's too late
