lyrics
I went to a party in a thin blue tie
with a jar of a girl I hoped I'd pry
in an innocent sense, just to see inside
and I was nerve-wracked like a bird acts
I had just broken up with a private girl
I was looking too quickly for a color swirl
I had a Kermit toy and put it in her hands
like, “This is me now, am I with or without?”
We'd gotten past an issue with a real close friend
I was deftly navigating all that dating bends
I even found myself at sea for 4 whole months
and we stayed stuck, she was good luck
I came home different, but not by much
I was a little more reliant on a mental crutch
She was happier and didn't seem to be put off
by my night trips or my tight lips, oh you
You walk along with me, you're dressed up, shining
looking like a strange upcoming day
You ask me then, “What's wrong?”, and curl up to me
like I would've told you anyway
I take you to dinner, you won't eat a thing
The stories that I'm spinning are meandering
Every word's a coaster under drinks we drink
Are you happy? Can you stand me?
'Cause often there are nights when I hold you close
Part of me is diet sweet, and the rest morose
Tore your posters off the wall and I fall with them
like a sad tree, are you happy?
I don't feel incredible, I don't feel good
but I'm hardly sorry, let me make it understood
Though it fills me with dread, I meant what I said
You walk along with me, you're dressed up, shining
looking like a strange upcoming day
You ask me then, “What's wrong?”, and curl up to me
like I would've told you anyway
