shake you awake
to get through the day
i don't know how to reassure
show up unnoticed
folding your clothes
i don't know how to keep as yours
when i hide my eyes
i'm not what you need
and i can't be
hate that you break
smiles are faked
i don't know what you want from me
say that i can't
i won't understand
i don't think i could ever see
when i try to find
i'm not what you need
and i can't be

you are not well-liked around these parts
you don't know when to stop
but i will wait it out there if you start
shut up and do my job
thrown in the backseat of your mind
we barely spend some time
but we tend to intertwine
for better or for worse
forcing out the words
dreams of silver screens you roam upon
all in your favorite song
seems that wishful thinking struck you down
i couldn't care to fawn
thrown in the backseat of your mind
breaking off the line
attachments we unbind
for better or for worse
forcing out the words
thrown in the backseat of your mind
we barely spend some time
but we tend to intertwine
for better or for worse
forcing out the words
thrown in the backseat of your mind
breaking off the line
attachments we unbind
for better or for worse
forcing out the words

chew me out again and then
bearing bad news to your bed
at the dollar general, left on read
he's off somewhere stoned instead
wraps a visor 'round his head
keeps the sunshine's chimes misled
and the lies made the times feel dead
between the fields, south solon drive
buckle up my knees, caiden's mazda rides
and all i do is wait to talk to you
i can't put you into song
being righteous feels so wrong
to the culvert ditches where i've dwelled so long
when i sacrificed my pawns
started waking up for dawn
and i pushed into the throng
in a few months, i'll be gone
i wanna make a pass, i wanna write new jokes
man, i wanna start fresh and get to know your folks
and if you turn another page
i'll live your doled-out catastrophes and listen close
now, all i do is wait to walk with you
