IDK WHAT I WANT

You looked over
How are you so looked over?
So I slid on over
Put my head on your shoulder
I was hoping that you would notice me forever
Til it happened and now I finally know better
It took seven tries, it happens all the time
I start to wonder why
I wonder why
It was a simple mistake
I thought of it for days
I always get this way
I am this way
Put you first
I’ve learned to wait in line
I promise I don’t mind
“Are you sure?” you ask twice
Never take the opportunity
Keep it quiet, keep it real low
Tell myself I’m fond of it
When I don’t like the thought of it
(Take a deep breath)
What if I’m wrong?
What if I’m not?
Think I know that you’re better off gone
Maybe it’s time for me to go home
But I don’t know what I want
You said goodbye about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times
It doesn’t feel right
They always let me out alive
They always let me out alive
What if I’m wrong?
Ooo, oooo
What if I’m not?
Don’t even think about it
What if I’m wrong?
Ooo, oooo
What if I’m not?
Oh, I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I want
Don’t even think about it
Don’t even think about it
I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I want
Don’t even think about it
I don’t know what I want
Don’t even think about it
What if I’m not?
I don’t know what I want
What if I’m wrong?
What if I'm not?
I don’t know what I want
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm not?
I don’t know what I want
What if I'm not?
I don’t know what I want
Maybe I never did
I just keep trying it
Hoping it’ll stick

Predictable Life
03:32
|
|||
24 years old
Don't know how to be alone
I've lost all control
Forgotten how to handle myself
So I get back in the game
Like I never ever sat the bench all those days
And I fall in love to fill a void
I make a list
I check it twice
I find a boy who looks really nice
It doesn't work
He's not my type
Another day in the predictable life
Runnin' in circles
Call me temperamental
Wonder what you think
If I'm too sentimental
I don't like the girl in the mirror
I've been avoiding her for some years
So I take a trip to kill the noise
I pack my bags
I run away
To a place where nobody knows my name
It doesn't work
I can't disguise
Another day in the predictable life
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change anyway
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna come my way, my way
Every day is the same
Oh and nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change anyway
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna change if I don't act my age
All alone
Friday night
I wanna love me, myself, and I
I hope it works
I'm not my type
Another day in the predictable life
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change anyway
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna come my way, my way
Every day is the same
Oh and nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change anyway
Every day is the same
And nothing's gonna change if I don't act my age

Better By Now
03:29
|

The same time for the third day this week
Maybe this will be the one where my feelings change
Your hand in mine in the passenger seat
Convincing you that it’ll stay the same
But it won’t stay the same
‘Cause I don’t feel it
I was hoping you could help me
Get where you are, fix where I’m not
But it’s not like that
I don’t wanna fight the feeling
Should this be easy?
Do I even love you?
I think I love you
But I should love you better by now
I should love you better by now
I should’ve figured it all out
I don’t need you as much as I need to
And I don’t miss you enough when you’re not around
If I don’t love you better by now, I don’t think I’ll ever know how
They say, “When you know you know”
Well maybe I don’t know myself
I’ll admit that I’m afraid I wouldn’t even cry
If I saw you driving around with somebody else
It’s so selfish
That I don't want the consequence
But how come when I tell you I love you
I say it under my breath
Like there’s a secret that I’m keeping from myself
Do I even love you?
I think I love you
But I should love you better by now
I should love you better by now
I should’ve figured it all out
I don’t need you as much as I need to
And I don’t miss you enough when you’re not around
If I don’t love you better by now, I don’t think I’ll ever know how
I don’t think I’ll ever know how
If I don’t love you better by now
I don’t think I’ll ever know how
It won’t stand the test of time
I know it, I know it, I know it
You say, “Give it one more try”
But what’s the point if
I know it, I know it?
It won’t stand the test of time
I know it, I know it, I know it
You say, “Give it one more try”
You don’t know how hard I’ve been trying
Do I even love you?
I think I loved you
But I should love you better by now
I should love you better by now
I should’ve figured it all out
I don’t need you as much as I need to
And I don’t miss you enough when you’re not around
If I don’t love you better by now (Why can’t I love you better by now?)
I don’t think I’ll ever know how (I wish I loved you better by now)
If I don’t love you better by now (Why can’t I love you better by now?)
I don’t think I’ll ever know how (I wish I loved you better by now)
You should drop me off at my house
If I don’t love you better by now

Eggshells
03:15
|
|||
Not enough, I’m coming up short again
At least I think so
Running outta room when you need a friend
But how do I know?
Pick me up, lay me down right underneath
Wherever you are
Go ahead and tread all over me
I get used to the mark
It leaves a bitter aftertaste
But I’d rather die than say it to your face
I’m walking on eggshells
Thin ice
With you
All the fuckin’ time
And I haven’t got much left inside
I try to see both sides
It works too well
I forget I’m 25
You make me feel like a kid inside
Who’s too weak to put up a fight
Try a little harder week by week
I’m making progress
Or maybe I’m just letting you do what you need
To ease your conscience
Unlock your opinions, let your monsters out
Rage on me
I guess I’m gonna die before I say it to your face
I’m walking on eggshells
Thin ice
With you
All the fuckin’ time
And I haven’t got much left inside
I try to see both sides
It works too well
I forget I’m 25
You make me feel like a kid inside
Don’t wanna have to be 3 glasses deep to get a word out of me
I promise I didn’t, I didn’t mean to be
3 glasses deep, giving you the worst of me
I wanna be different, but I’m still walking on
Eggshells
Thin ice
With you
All the fuckin’ time
And I haven’t got much left inside
I try to see both sides
It works too well
I forget I’m 25
Cause I still feel like a kid inside
I’m 25
And I still feel like a kid inside
Who’s too weak to put up a fight

Ohio Laundry Room
03:21
|

Weekly candy drop-offs
All hopped up for our mom
You're leaving out the back door
Drop the dogs food on the floor
Help me with my homework
Just in time for summer
Every day at the pool
You said we might as well live here
If I were you
I would have said
The same thing
If I were you
I would have said
The same thing
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo
Secrets kept in high school
Vodka water bottle
You're sleeping on the couch now
I'm just too young to notice
Make excuses for you
Think of all the bad news
I will never blame you
You were dealt a hell of a hand
If I were you
I would have done
The same thing
If I were you
I would have done
The same thing
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo
Predestined genetics
It's not fair, you said it
Weekly doc appointments
Becoming an annoyance
You want to go live your life
And you've made up your mind
Nothing's going to stop you
Even if it takes you
If I were you
I would have done
The same thing
If I were you
I would have done
The same thing
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo
The same thing
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo
The same thing
I keep waiting for you
To walk right on through
That Ohio laundry room
And tell me you love me more
It would be wonderful

Thousands of people downtown
A man to my left who shouldn’t be left alone
Two in front
They’re all they know
Towers are singing louder
s’nitsuj on stage
I swore that he called my name
It’s sinking in, creeping in
It’s sinking in, creeping in
Balloons in the sky
He’s to my right
Right on time
Right on time
I don’t expect you to understand it
I don’t expect you to understand it
I don’t expect you to comprehend this
I don’t expect you to comprehend this
All I
Think about
Is how I can’t call you
All I think about is how I can’t call you
All I think about is how I can’t call you
I just think about how I can’t call you
To tell you all this
But even if I could
I don’t expect you to understand it
I don’t expect you to comprehend it
Just know that I’m okay
I’m okay
I’m okay
