It’s been six years And I still don’t know what I want This could be all I ever wanted (This is all I ever wanted) At this point what am I asking for I’ve hoped, deluded, prayed (when I don’t know where the words go) Nowhere. Assume everything always works out for me (“I’m so lucky” the chorus sings) Give where I shouldn’t be giving Never take stuff at face value Take a crumb and feast off it for weeks, a banquet, work a miracle! Maybe it’ll turn out different this time (I hope to god it will) But I’m an unreliable narrator I don’t want to ask the hard questions I don’t have answers for you I don’t even have answers for myself I’ll turn a blind eye to prophetic dreams Then say I didn’t see it coming So I’ll get another job (work myself to death) And in another six months I’ll do this again

Don’t go in and out of situationships for years It’ll mess up your perception of romance
