Wet my face in the bathroom
Try and shave off the "he"
That you speak unto "me" if I have to
I can shriek at a pitch more dissonant
Sometimes I have to
Like when I left your apartment
In my shorts and knee high socks
Wet faced, red eyed, and hair tied
Riled up as a beehive
It's a long life, I can't get it right
You can't be whole
When you look inside you'll find more of your problems
And I need you around
Like the ground needs a figure just to be something at all
It's a long life, I can't get it right
It's a long life, I can't get it right
It's a long life, I can't get it right
It's a long life, I can't get it right
It's a long life, it will waste you in return
It's a long life, it will waste you in return
It's a long life, it will waste you in return
It's a long life, it will waste you in return
I like your house
Trees bend and tire swing in your backyard
Your mom went out
To smoke and I could tell that you're worried about her
It's a long life, it's hard to get it right
I dirge for each "I don't have the time for you"
And I dirge for the way that I am going by
And I dirge for each 2 o' clock just waking up
Oh long life, how is it that you go by
