I've been fascinated recently by the way the sun reflects
On all the colors of the leaves
And try as though I might to paint a perfect picture every time
I'm thwarted by my lack of expertise
You gave a signal of distress you called I came
Tried to finesse a change but I misread the breeze
You disappeared into the trees
I watched the autumn wind reverse all of your tears' trajectories
~oohs~
Front porch sojourn on a summer night I got a new twist on
Some old ideas I think you'll understand
I've practiced all my lines in the bathroom mirror swore I wouldn't fuck up
But my rhetoric is putty in your hands
Words words words words words it's all you hear, it's all you've ever heard
So I sip my liquid self-pity from its silver can
Until I spill my guts with the contents of my stomach
On the hallway carpet sometime round 3am
~oohs~
Now she's talking to him in that flirtatious tone
And she's touching his arm so I pull out my phone
Like I've got texts to send oh man but it's just a lock screen
So I put it back in my pocket try my hardest not to be seen
Now my best friends are worried and now I've caught their eye
I wish I could leave wish I weren't so high
Cause now I'm trippin balls and they tell me to relax
Like it's all in my head well that's just as bad
