The ceiling fan casts a shadow down on me
I skip out, go outta town
You said her name to me today
Like it would be a casual cool thing to say
We don't wanna argue
No I know we don't wanna argue.

You keep me and teach me
I tell you who it is I'm seeing
Smokey red wine
Editing time after time
I try to remember to swim into the good
I wonder how long I can keep this going
But I know me coming and going
Plays a big part.

I think I'll tell you the truth
If and when it comes up
It seems like you haven't yet
Settled it or maybe you wonder
But I think you're so lost in yourself
You don't really know.

Do you remember the way
I moved on set
Feelings of love it must interject you
I play alongside the monopoly game this has become
Knowing it's good for me and my insides
But it aches to not be your only
Or to imagine what you do or say
To someone who isn't me.

Don't you feel that too?
I guess that's why you are a Gemini.

For so long I didn't even know
It's just fine for you to keep this up
You think about it
But you don't do anything to change it
I sometimes wish I could have had you
When you tried to convince girls to be with you
I wish I had known that Alex then
You mention him sometimes
Like we would have truly been friends.

But I've got you where you and I are at now
Sometimes I want to pull out daggers and fight you
I keep wishing and thinking maybe you'll see
I don't want to write about us and this
Like this anymore
But with all the love there comes pain.
