Cuddled up in the common room Our eyes droop in the dust of the morning bloom Will any words I speak work to overwrite this harried time? Smash a hand on the table just to reassociate Grab my thigh and I say that I'm okay I wrap a limb around and apologize The pressure from your chin cut my lips from the inside I want you to hurt me so I don't hurt myself Composing little themes in lieu of lying down I thought I was something, but I might be something else I'm impressed by everything Every little thing that you say and think But some things don't feel right and now I feel alone We'll talk on the phone for an hour or two And I think about visiting you on an hour drive away While I furrow inside The tremble in your voice hugged my throat from the inside out I said what I'm thinking But now my mouth is soaked with doubt I'm writing little tunes in lieu of lying down Before I can know you I need to know myself I'm not usually like this I guess these days I am And after all the excitement I can never seem to plan I'm not usually like this I guess these days I am And after all the excitement I can never seem to plan I'm not usually like these I guess these days I am And after all the excitement I can never seem to plan Just what comes next Or what I want Or what I need Do I need anything at all? Can I keep myself from asking Brendan why Are you acting out again? Did you think it'd be different than the last time? Brendan why are you acting out again? Did you think it'd be different?
