I'm going home
gonna see all my friends
and then everything wrong with the world
will be right again
but I came a day late
and nobody showed
except for you and your friend
and I guess that I promised I'd go
still I wonder
Why did I agree to drive you two
through the worst storm this year
while you blare Taylor Swift on the radio?
(it's kind of inconsiderate)
And she sings that we're never
getting back together
but to tell you the truth
I already know
It isn't hard to figure out
(the hand holding kind of gives it away)
The movie's ok
I guess I didn't see much
'cause I spent the whole time trying my best
not to notice how much you two touch
I wanna go home
but we've got one more stop
so we order our food and we climb up the stairs
all the way to the top
As we sit at the Rafferty's balcony
all I can think to myself is
a fall from this high wouldn't kill me
at least not instantly
and that's not good enough
it's no mystery
why you did this to me
(but you could have done it without adding)
Insult on insult on insult to this mountain of injury
I'll bleed out as I fall asleep.

I'm jealous of my insomniac friends
I wish I could be them
'cause I spend most of my nights
in my bed asleep dreaming
that she came by
asking if we could be friends again
and I always say yes
'cause I'm weak, don't know what's good for me
maybe I'll call her up and she'll say no and I can sleep
with a sense of closure
knowing I don't owe her
a darn thing
but most likely she'd say
what could you want at this hour?
must not keep time anymore or you'd
know that it's almost four
I'm going back to sleep
I guess I should get on with it then
put paper to the pen
maybe if I sit down and write
I can give it all meaning
wouldn't that be nice
tie up all the loose ends and then
finally get some rest
but we'll see, if things work out for me
It'll be a miracle, if I come over can we sleep
somewhere where it's colder
I'm sick of being sober
could use a drink
Maybe then I could say how I feel
does it need to be said
if it does, is it even real?
will I regret saying anything
i could swear, there was something in the air
or I'm seeing things that aren't there
'cause I know that I'm prone, to do way to much reading
into every little thing, looking for the things that I want to see

Selfish

why do you taunt me, again and again
would it kill, just for once, let me win
holding things just out of reach
I'm closer at least
why am I standing so close to the edge
why is the call of the fall so intense
don't give me that look just give me a push
it's selfish to think, that I deserve anything
I'd give it away to make a friend happy
I'm starting to think, my turn won't be coming around
for awhile
it's selfish to think, that I have so many things
I'd give them away, if it would make me happy
I'm starting to think, it's better to want
than to have
still I'd like to know for sure.
why do I do wake, with these hopes, every day
when I think I'm close, I'm really further away
and still I don't want it to end, at least I can pretend
it's selfish to think, that I deserve anything
I'd give it away to make a friend happy
I'm starting to think, my turn won't be coming around
for awhile
it's selfish to think, that I have so many things
I'd give them away, if it would make me happy
I'm starting to think, it's better to want
than to have
still I'd like to know for sure.
