Selfish Lyrics

Doesn't talk much to her dad
Doesn't talk to me much either
But that's the way that it goes when your twenties are more than a distant high school day dream
Doesn't see much of her friends
She's got too much going on
And got some new ones too
To be honest it was probably time and we didn't deserve each other

Cause we're selfish
It's something we sometimes miss
When we knew all our checks and balancеs
We've all got our own trademark damagеs

Yea we're selfish
We like to think that we outgrew it
But we didn't
It's all falling apart
We probably still complain about our own shit

We didn't deserve somebody like you
But 2012 was a damn good year
Don't get me wrong though
I wouldn't go back
I don't miss the 7:30 wake ups and polos
And old blokes on power trips
Talking down and doing all kinds of perverted shit
But we catch buses and talk about crushes
Now we catch up a few times a year

Cause we're selfish
It's something we sometimes miss
When we knew all our checks and balances
We've all got our own trademark damages

Yea we're selfish
We like to think we outgrew it
But we didn't
It's all falling apart
We probably still complain about our own shit

And someday you might come home
And feel like you can't do this on your own
You'll know there's a chat buried deep
And some contacts on your phone you didn't need to use last week
Cause we all get caught up
It kind of our thing
But I'd like to think the old days still mean something
