I'm scared that what we have right now,
Is the best that it will ever get,
Maybe we're not meant to be happy,
But we are not meant to regret,
All the things that make us human,
And all the things that make us wet,
So just remember to lock the front door,
When you put out that cigarette,
Most nights I have trouble remembering,
But tonight is one I won't forget,
And maybe I'm just nervous,
Girl I promise this has never happened before,
And I know you don't deserve this,
But we're doing a disservice,
Cause I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be a chore,
Shouldn't be a chore,
You're just a trip that never takes off,
Held back by student debt,
You know it's never what you wanted,
A lot more empathy than sex,
Cause girl I'm just a pinata,
Stuffed to the brim of course,
And you're a 10-year-old boy,
Just learning about his parent's divorce,
Maybe I'm just nervous,
Girl I promise this has never happened before,
And I know you don't deserve this,
But we're doing a disservice,
Cause I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be a chore,
Shouldn't be a chore,
And it may feel like hell to you,
But to me it sounds just fine,
Like you're in the middle of the room,
When two freight trains collide,
You may make it partway through,
Before you throw it to the side,
But I love the controlled chaos,
And the way,
The way it makes me feel inside,
You looked me in the eye,
As you met me at the door,
I said I still love you like crazy but I'm not in love anymore,
She said I know this might sound crazy,
But it really doesn't phase me anymore,
And I know I don't deserve this,
But you're doing us a service,
Cause I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be a chore,
Shouldn't be a chore,

My alarm clock screams
Out of my cellphone
It interrupts my dreams
And leaves me feeling awful
My knee hits the floor
Though that flat air mattress
Make my way to the door
Though the mess of cans and bottles
Cause this is just a shitty movie
Actors have all but given up
Not every story needs a hero
If the villain just doesn't give a fuck
So I'll clench my fists
And try to attack
With these broken wrists
I have from defending for so long
I know its never easy
But really should it be this hard
Is there any rhyme or reason
Why things went so wrong
So I'll do my best to get it
But what are the odds
Because trying to make sense of this
Feels like stealing fire from the gods
So I'll keep
Playing Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet
Feeling stuck
Like a war hero in peace time
Out of luck
And all but forgotten
And the longer it goes
The more its just accepted
But I suppose
It's not all that uncommon
All the kids that I grew up with
Are settling down as we grow older
Some days I really want that
Others all I care about is counterculture
So I'll keep
Playing Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet
From the start of every morning
To the end of every night
I put you to my lips to try and help me ease my mind
And when my eyes are red enough you might just find
Me playing
Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet

Girl I'm sorry
About all my insecurities
And I'm sorry when I get that way
I know it makes you worry
Girl I'm sorry
That I'm such an emo bitch
But you know I just can't help myself
I don't know what it is
Ahh here we go again
Another chance to prove myself
As the dick I really am
To the one I love the most
But I still hope
I get you high
I hope I'm your reason to smile
Cause there's no doubt in my mind
That you're mine
And maybe I'm Prince Charming in this fucked up fairytale
Looks like the cards are on the table
Baby we're too big to fail
It's in the details
Like nothing else I can recall
Cause after all
You're the ending to the sad song that I didn't know I needed
It had become such a part of me I didn't realize I was singing
And I don't know how long I've been waiting
For you to change my tune
Cause that memory is faded
And it's not coming back soon
Girl I worry
You know it's just what I do
I worry that I'll never change
I worry I'll get old to you
Girl I worry
About every little thing
I worry you're gonna leave me
It's time for takeoff
Cause we're just getting started
But I know it doesn't feel that way
And that's not what I want to call it
So I'm on it
Standing ready at attention
So if you tell my story
Please don't forget to mention
That I'm Prince Charming in this fucked up fairytale
Looks like the cards are on the table
Baby we're too big to fail
It's in the details
Like nothing else I can recall
Cause after all
You're the ending to the sad song that I didn't know I needed
It had become such a part of me I didn't realize I was singing
And I don't know how long I've been waiting
No I don't know how long I've been waiting
No I don't know how long I've been waiting
For you to change my tune
Cause that memory is faded
And it's not coming back soon

Hello everyone
I must be gone
If you're reading this
It has to mean that I've moved on
On my way to a different highway
See you on the other side
But you know that's not what I had in mind
I didn't know what I had lost til it was found
Hurry up
Oh hurry up
Why can't we just slow the fuck down
We'll take it slow
Slow as you'd like
Just because it's what you wanted doesn't mean that it was right
Wan't to heave ahead
But I don't know how
If I'm not living in the past
Where I am supposed to live now
Cause you were true
True til the end
Thank you for being my friend
Cause you were true
True til the end
Thank you for being my friend
For being my friend
For being my friend
And even if your time has come
Your memory is far from over
It has only just begun
And these days that's hard to find
Though I hope you like where you're going
I hope you miss what you left behind
Cause I sure do
Don't know what to try
Pinch me to see if I'm still breathing
To see if I'm still alive
Cause you were true
True til the end
Thank you for being my friend
Cause you were true
True til the end
Thank you for being my friend
For being my friend
Hello everyone
Must be gone
If you're reading this
It has to mean that I've moved on
