Something I Can't Do

I worry again
Always what has been
We circle the drain
Tread water to end the same
I'd tell you I miss those nights with you
If self fulfilled came true
I'd take back all those fights with you
Just something I can't do
I'm over my head
And over heels off track
Will you keep my shirts
Or do I need them back
Just one chance to see you
Any excuse any desperate tact
Too much too late
Kill the parts that I hate in a self righteous attack
I'd tell you I miss those nights with you
If self fulfilled came true
I'd take back all those fights with you
Just something I can't do
That sweet sorrow
A bitter sweet tomorrow thanks to you
Sorry for confusing
Don't know what I'd do if
Self fulfilled came true

Treading Water

I met a girl in college
Never thought I could acknowledge
The real thing 'til I'm older
I keep the flame alive
Every day and every night
It's just what I owe her
After a year
We'll talk about our fears
Of moving to a new town
We've got our hopes and dreams
We've seen them on the silver screens
And in the records that we own
Can't find me at the function
'Cause I'm really up the junction
Up the creek across the pond
Treading water treading lightly
I told her that I loved her
To keep her one more summer
But I'm no ball and chain
She wants to be a writer
She'll be one I don't doubt her
This can never change
I dreamt of stadiums
And singing all my songs
To thousands who adore them
But I gave it up to be with you
I gave it all up so soon
And we were so in love then
Can't find me at the function
'Cause I'm really up the junction
Up the creek across the pond
Treading water treading lightly
So I left the music business
And she left me when I did it
'Cause I'm not the same man that she fell in love with
I bet she's having fun
With someone she can really love
'Cause what I am falls short of him
I work in coffee shops
And wedding gigs top off
My sorry budgeteering
One day a girl came in
And the perfume she was wearing
Reminded me of that girl I met in college
Can't find me at the function
'Cause I'm really up the junction
Up the creek across the pond
Treading water treading lightly

I'm just kind of scared of you
So I'll just kind of stare at you in hallways where we used to say each other's names
I remember you from class
I remember that you laughed at that thing I said about us chasing fame
I bet it made you happy
See me at every party
Like you're so innocent
Like we can just be friends
I'm real tired of changing facts
I'm so sick of panic attacks and it's all my fault because I just can't move on
Throw your drink into my face
I know you want to we're so fake and I have to say it: he looks just like me
I bet it made you happy
See me at every party
Like you're so innocent
Like we can just be friends
No one throws a fit like I do
No one lose their shit like I do
No one throws a fit like I do
No one lose their shit like I do
I bet it made you happy
See me at every party
Like you're so innocent
Like we can just be friends
No one throws a fit like I do
No one lose their shit like I do
No one throws a fit like I do
No one lose their shit like I do

Spray Paint Your Heart

Your padlock stares me down I submit
My icy fingertips brush your skin
You're running late for an interview pull away
There's just not enough time in a day
Throw on a shirt
Roll into work one leg at a time
Not enough to save but enough to sustain
A couple weeks away from a few days escape
Enjoying the perks
For tips you can work on the company's dime
Spray paint your heart
A vandal has stolen your art
Try and copyright your shame
Go on chase your fame
You're so pretentious
For someone whose day job is oh so precious
Spray paint your heart
A vandal has stolen your art
Try and copyright your shame
Go on chase your fame
