well, if i try real hard
i could write a song
that everybody would get
all their friends stoked on
and they'll sing it in their
shitty accord every night.
for sake of feeling
i just wanna get out
when i grow up
i'll be somebody else
and if i escape this vessel
then i'll be alright
but it's all sentiment
but i guess i'll make the most of it
i'll take a step
in the right direction
because people are counting on me
and i don't wanna care what they think
about all my dilemmas
and i've got a dilemma of
being a product of all that i'm fucking up
and i swear i'll fall in love someday
and it's all nervous shit
but i'll just roll with it
ba da da da da
i don't wanna get out of bed
ba da da da da
i'm funky with the shit in my head
ba da da da da
i don't wanna learn how to feel
ba da da da da
at risk of fucking spinning the wheel
i used to think i wasn't a writer
until i started being honest
i just didn't want to put my heart out there
just to find out that nobody wants it

sometimes i get
so god damn caught up in my head
and all my friends
they're sick of how i act in public
so, hey
you're so invested in me
and i guess
that's pretty tight
you were right
yeah, this is fine
i deserved to feel this way
the whole time
ba da da da da da
fuck all of the cops
i don't wanna get out
i wanna stay here
but still i leave
and the shame it consumes
me
like a wave
i can't escape
ba da da da da da
fuck all of the cops
i don't wanna get out
i wanna stay here

i'm tired of feeling
like i'm traveling thousands of miles per hour
and i'm tired of always
getting torn up and then acting weird around you
and the truth is my head is a mess
and we'd be the best
if i manage not to fuck up again
isn't this bullshit?
i'm tired of standards all on myself
"get some help." yeah i would
if i could get anywhere at all
and i'll call you at like 4 am
when you don't want to hear my voice
and i feel like i no longer have the
choice to better myself
i know i could use some help
and i feel embarrassed from this floor that i am laying on
and i can't sleep cuz every time i close my eyes all i see
is the kiss that i can't seem to wipe from my mind
and i'll die with my hair grown out with nobody by my side
i wish that things would change
and the events would no longer foster in my dreams
i wish someone was there for me
and i wish that my luck would change
woah-oh's

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
well i guess that i could wait
for the very best day
for you to go ahead
and make the drive out to me
but it would be so forgetful
cuz i wouldnt say anything at all
cuz i'm aleays just so anxious
and my head is always making
all these thoughts into these visions
(vivid imagination) oh, i was just too sad
to pick up your call
but i'll write all
my clever songs
and try to convince you
it's not your fault
but for all i care
i don't care
that you're gone
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i'm tossing and i'm turning
and my ears are always burning
and there's one time a week where i'm
always on the verge of
crying if i hear a modest mouse song
i know that's fucking lame
and doesn't make you proud of me
but there's something about isaac brock
that makes me want to weep, oh
i'll try again and i'll be real strong
so
how are you doing now?
i hope things are cool
and why
do you always look down
when you pass by me at school?
and i feel like a mannequin
that doesn't look good in hats
and i know you're right over there
just talking all your trash
and i don't know why you would want
to just up and leave
and i don't think of you no more
when i look at autumn trees
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i'm playing guessing games again
i can't recognize my friends
if i had anything to live for
it died along with my confidence
and i say, everything's okay
as long as i can just make a
phone call and hear you on
the other side
and all i've got is hopefulness
sometimes smeared, but i'm remiss
when i don't mention the things
that make me happy
and all i've got is someone else
i can't confide within myself and
all it takes to be happy is a little bit
of effort

i feel my head is hurting
getting dizzy with all these thoughts
and i think "would i be happy?"
had i tried to be an astronaut
i guess it sucks, cuz i always want
to be someone with loads of self-esteem
someone who doesn't hate themselves
and feel overwhelemed by the simplest of things
i think we're far from a point
where we can be our friends
in a big museum
we're all dead
i know it's all the same
when i get sad i don't think straight
and i hope you never feel that way
because when you're down my whole body aches
i'm sure you know
i've got a lot inside
that i've never been good at
describing right
but words are just as useless now
when i wanna say how much i need you in my life
we're all working on ourselves
and we've all got our own hell
but if we wanna learn we've gotta go further down
because it's not about what got you in
no, it's not about what got you in
it's not about what got you in
but how you get out
