It Sounded Better When You Said It

now, every time,

it's like looking a complete stranger in the eye

and saying "I want to know everything about you,"

only to have them reply "I'm not sure we've met."

 

and so you cut your hair

and so you take your walk

and so you have the same conversation

over and over

and over and over

and over and over and over

until you can't anymore,

because you can't anymore.

 

one way or another,

you'll just keep starting over

(and over)

(and over)

(and over)
