Stagnant

(Album: Jasper - 2014)

So do you remember
Behind my house every night, in the back of the woods
And every single time I came, you never really noticed me, I guess it's cause you knew that I would

But I can't stay here, feeling stagnant like this
And I can't lay here, cause it hurts my lungs when we kiss

And everybody's changed, grew up and walked away
But in the back of my brain I'm still waiting on the porch where she left that day
And everybody learns, learn when to sit or stay
But in the back of her car, I'm still waiting to turn the key and drive away

So do you remember the things you learned, you call me tell me them on the phone
And I always acted like I cared, I think you really did, but I thought about it then got scared

Realized I can't stay here
Feeling stagnant like this
And I can't lay here, cause it hurts my conscience when we kiss

But everybody's changed, grew up and walked away
But in the back of my brain I'm still waiting on the porch where she left that day
And everybody learned, learn when to sit or stay
But in the back of her car, I'm still waiting to turn the key and drive away

So why do you always insist on the extra mile
And all we do is push like this and constantly I'm on trial but
I don't wanna stay here and I don't wanna stay here at all

And please don't make me stay here and please don't make me go the extra mile
And I don't wanna stay here and I don't wanna stay here at all
And please don't make me stay here and please don't make me go the extra mile

Cause everybody's changed, grew up and walked away
But in the back of my brain I'm still waiting on the porch where she left that day
And everybody learned, learn when to sit or stay
But in the back of her car, I'm still waiting to
Turn the key and drive away, turn the key and drive away, turn the key and drive away
