lyrics

Keep on telling myself someday I’ll figure it out
Instead of sitting, treading water in a dixie cup
You can do anything to me that you want
I’m gonna love you til i’m nothing but echoes and dust

And hey, how you been, are you single yet?
And did you tell all of your friends that I’m just a mess?
Just tapping on the table with a cigarette
When I asked you out , I didn’t expect your friends

Nice to try and let it slide
And wonder why you don’t come by

Chorus:
I know, I know - she’s over there with so and so and
I know, she’s bored - and even if I wanted to I
Couldn’t afford - a second chance, a second with you
I know, I know - never been that good at letting go and
I know, I should - have said these things awhile ago but
I just gotta get it out, I’ll take my last breath thinking of you

I know I’d only blow it if I tried to speak
With my tongue firmly planted in the side of my cheek
Its only been an hour but it feels like weeks
But the seconds tower like a guillotine

And hey there honey, hey baby doll
Have I waited enough to maybe risk a call
Yeah I know it isn’t funny, but its been awhile
And I miss your laugh and waking up to your smile
