I wanna cry cause I got the melody before
but now I can't find the voice note
and my songs are all humdrum monotony
can't stand a thing that I've wrote

I could read Stephen King on your porch
you might find it obnoxious
I'm just trying to impress you, of course
what rhymes with obnoxious?

and I know you love to own me
know I'm signing to you front stage
but it's not as fun to know me
you say my actions show my age

wish you'd love to hold my dullness
forgive my shortcomings and stay
instead both of us lay sleepless
you're angry and I've lost my faith

it's not romantic that we're opposites
it's mostly a pain in the ass
there's a limit to our shared tolerance
and I wish you weren't so crass

but I have dream where we are so in love
that we attach our hips with glue
suddenly I know what you're thinking of
and we both see the world brand new
just that, me and you, in a world brand new

but I know you love to own me
know I'm singing to you front stage
no, it's not as fun to know me
you say my actions show my age

I wish you'd love to hold my dullness
forgive my shortcomings and stay
instead both of us lay sleepless
you're angry and I've lost my faith

and I'm not sure what it'd take to stay
no, I'm not sure what you could even say
oh I'm not sure what it'll take to stay
I am not sure what I would even say
