22 Years

I’ve had 22 years to learn
What’s the harm in one off?
In letting my mind palette its own turns
I’ll keep it light and like a conversation
I don’t need to know the secrets
There’s no bad blood between me and my neighbors
I wanna know your secrets, though:
What keeps you up at night
What makes you feel better
What makes your eyes water
I’ll find it
Can we eat together?
Most men don’t like it that I’m independent
That’s why I switched to girls
Aha, I’m just playin’
It’s in my bones to love the fairer sex, myself excluded
But that’s comin’ next

[Chorus]
‘cause I can do it myself
Can you do it yourself?
I can do it myself
Can you do it by yourself? (x4)

I drip like rain on gravity’s hopes
I wanna… OD on the world’s poison
The kinda stuff [?]
I never fancied going skydiving
But I would scream your name from mountains, or in skywriting
I guess I’m kind of a romantic
Not like... I wanna hold hands, although I would
I mean the kind of heart that holds a lot of summer
And in the winter, doesn’t freeze over
I know it’s cold, but I brought you a thick skin
And a train of thought to take back home again
I’m leaving, so I don’t think that we can share it
But I hope you think about me when you wear it

[Chorus]
‘cause I can do it myself
Can you do it yourself?
I can do it myself
Can you do it by yourself? (x4)

Lazy, daisy
I’m all alone with you (x4)

[aha… shit]

Cause I can do it myself
It’s not that I like being lonely, per se
But I see isolation as a down payment
Been renovating my soul’s house
New self esteem ceilings are my motivation
There’s always gonna be the kind of person that makes you feel worthless
Like a check that you think might bounce
But I get caught in the birthday wish breath
And if you do, you can make like these candles and get blown out
Made up my mind to get rid of junkies and liars
‘cause I wanna make the world work in my favor
If life is like ice cream and my cone is finite
Then addiction is the blandest flavor
Cause I don’t wanna know without a reason
Don’t wanna miss the cold season
Just to feel a little warmer when the sun shines
But if I’m ready to die, I’m ready to die
I’m ready to die

‘cause I can do it myself
Can you do it yourself?
I can do it myself
Can you do it by yourself? (x4)

‘cause I can do it myself
Can you do it yourself?
(lazy daisy)
I can do it myself
Can you do it by yourself?
(i’m all alone with you)

(x8)
