lyrics

The weather brought me out this way
It's hot upstairs sweat drops forming on my face
Trying to calm a nervous knee
Some fresh air would be good for me
There's times to bite my tongue and cheek
Now's not the time I've got to come clean
Because I care for you and it's eating me away
It's eating me away

I have lied far too many times
A\bout about the thoughts running through my head
When I said there was joy it might have been rain
I'm unamused by most everything
So keep being you and I'll follow along
Slowly picking these rocks out of my brain

I do my best to plan ahead
The t's are crossed dot's on my eyes
Now I can't read what I wrote
Scratch that ill put it in my memory
I tend to drive over medians
I'm going to have concrete in my engine
Is it supposed to sound this way?
It keeps running I guess it's ok
Hold on I'm on my way

I have lied far too many times
A\bout about the thoughts running through my head
When I said there was joy it might have been rain
I'm unamused by most everything
So keep being you and I'll follow along
Slowly picking these rocks out of my brain

The weather brought me out this way
Just curious how long can I stay?
