time to leave the sofa
save my place, won't you
crying in the bathroom
we have so much to talk about
once you can speak back too
till then i'll sing these stupid songs to you
time to leave the sofa
save my place, won't you
crying in the bathroom
if we both push our legs together
we'll go faster down the river

you torture me each night
singing the kind of songs your sister used to like
i'm touching 39
it feels kinda weird admitting that outright
we're singing the wrong speed songs
surer than eye sees eye
sure as the icepick picks the ice
i came here for pizza and then go
withdrawing over time
and absorbed in computer life
evenings twiddling with typecheckers again
i want to be outside but i'm just too fucking tired
and the one place i liked just stopped paying their rent
we almost had it made, a week of shitfaced sundays

i'm picking out a shirt to wear
it's been 3 months (at least) since I last had
to care about whether what i was wearing was a complete embarrassment
a story that we always love
the hero that flips off his boss
it's nice pretending for a little moment that we're not complete cowards
but i'd probably just back down
you know that i'd just back down
a kind of guy i always hate
shares my interests but not my taste
it's like a grotesque mirror's been constructed facing straight into my house
we're just loose change in the same jar
take me back, a careless has-been
but i'm moldable entirely
to any shape that you want me to be
ten more years of feeling like an accident
we've been relying on strangers
we've been relying on strangers, not ourselves
