Common Ground
Fading lights, street signs, paint lines, and the moonlight
I'm at it again
Falling face down, hate how
Taste, sound, late nights, dreams, and friends
But it never ends
Throw myself in the direction of simplicity and hope for the best
How stupid is that?
I’ll never get it
Don’t grow up to regret it
Stay safe and sound inside my head
Please just get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
As if I needed one more thing to make me wonder how you taste
Your hair stuck on my face, distracting me from your waist
I'm good at saying all the right things at exactly the worst times
So pull me closer until you scream
Looking for ways inside
Whoa, don’t give it up
Made a mess with the trash you’ve been digging up
Look, honestly, well just promise me you’ll find time for me when this whole thing is up
I find it funny how your feelings never love me
When I’m healing it was lovely when you never spoke to me enough
I’m so deep stuck in it, only need me for a minute ‘til the river runs dry you’ve been drinking from
Stick to your story, I’m no clairvoyant it’s just easier for me
To see when you’re lying cause it takes one to know one
I know one and nobody knows you like me
Screaming “what’s the truth?”
I never wanted to put myself out in front of you
Well life’s just mostly wishful thinking and wasted youth
Seems today that all I was was just a waste of you
I’m just a waste of you
I’m so guilty of this shit
Stringing things along
Break another heart
Push that shit aside
Write another song
When the months get colder, I get older
We can get along
Cause if mentally it’s meant to be, emotionally it’s wrong
You can tell me you’re over it, I’m not where you belong
Save your cheap shots for me, you’re not sorry at all
As if I needed one more thing to make me wonder how you taste
Your hair stuck on my face, distracting me from your waist
I'm good at saying all the right things at exactly the worst times
So pull me closer until you scream
Looking for ways inside
I’m living in your head rent free
You’ll never find nobody like me
Maybe that’s just how you want it
Maybe you need me that way
Tell me you love this routine
Dancing in circles with me
Barefoot in your kitchen, only in my dreams
I hope you visit my grave
I hope our spirits are saints
I’ll leave my body in water
With the lights I replaced
It’s all ash in a lot now, what a waste
I can still see you in that box in my memory
Asking me “What if we found common ground, just us?”
I think I hate you cause I love you so much
So if you want out, tell me now because we can belong
We can be loved
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head
