i think i lost a bet
took a pretty picture
with a broken telephone
you’re different from the rest
writing dirty love songs
not breaking up songs
i think you know the difference
between indifference
and screaming in my ear
how did it all begin
i tell you that we’re friends
i say i love you to all my friends,
yeah
keeping score
as i said before i couldn’t process
the feelings that we forged
watch your back
or just turn around
the way you speak is elegant
oh god don’t tempt me now
i think i lost a bet
took a pretty picture
post it up somewhere
i’m going back to bed now
if you ever listen
i’m good at listening
i’m always kind of bored
i’m always looking for
a new experience
but i’m still here
so maybe that’s a lie
keeping score
as i said before i couldn’t process
the feelings that we forged
watch your back
or just turn around
the way you speak is elegant
but your head is in the clouds
we’ll skip rocks again i swear
unfreeze the pond with care
like a dirty stove top
unfortunate thoughts
i wanna write down
ironic love songs
but i can’t tell it apart
shred me to pieces,
it’s art
keeping score
as i said before i couldn’t process
the feelings that we forged
watch your back
or just turn around
the way you speak is elegant
oh god don’t tempt me now
