So keep those expectations low
Excuses follow familiar patterns with a curveball or two
Is it too much to retain
Awake through stubborn eyes
It wasn't about this, it wasn't about this at all
Defeat my weary smile with bored expression
Too anxious to refrain
We're only reading lines
It wasn't about this, it wasn't about this at all
Too angry to complain
Deplete my troubled mind
It wasn't about this, was never about this at all
Thought I heard Jake say "I get burned out by the good days"
And I thought yeah I can relate, cause you're wearing me out this round
But I'm still working, cause we're
One and the same one and the same and it's alright
And I'm still working
Given a lot through story changing shape (One and the same)
But we're caught (haunted the same and it's alright)
So level me out this round
And I'm stuck staring awake through these (One and the same)
Bedroom eyes (swallowed the page and it's alright)
At least I'm thankful for you hearing me out this time
I wouldn't expect this to calm you
But you can expect me to share
I never intended to harm you, still
I never pretended to care
Couldn't have made it these years
