lyrics

I set my sights on what was wrong,
Shortsighted thoughts I felt were long.
But so it goes,
Everyone knows,
And I feel bad about it.
The way that people interact,
Give something up, get something back.
It’s not exchange,
But much more strange.
And I feel glad to doubt it.

My words sent you reeling, but I spit ‘em out on the floor.
And I prayed for a feeling, but all I felt was more.
So I’m sorry that I had to cross that line.
And I’m sorry if I ever cross your mind.

On paper, I shot up to space,
Got laid, paid, and a brand new place.
But once again,
I focused in,
On everything I was missing.
Which I admit, included you,
But what the fuck am I to do?
We can’t go back,
This trolley track,
Philosophical and dismissing.

So I searched for an answer in the crinkles of my brain.
You spread like a cancer, and linger like a stain,
I hope I’m not ungrateful, I’m just ranting through the pain.
So I’m sorry that you ever cross my mind.
But I’ll carry you until the end of time.
And I wish to god I could still cross that line.
