Lied For You

(álbum: Parallel Person - 2018)

Hey don't I know you
Back from the restaurant
I folded napkins while you
Got ready up front

I'm none of the things that I thought I'd be by now
It matters but you hide it well

You bring your bike up
You lock it to mine
I say I love you when I'm drunk
And you kindly oblige

I'm so hung up on all the what, the how, the when, the where, the why
I'll never make it through the night

I'll lie for you
If you want me to

I wanted to
Wait till we're alone
Before I confess
I'm so far gone
What's wrong with you
Guess it's safe to say
That I never really know

We were both goners
Or don't you remember
I lived on your windowsill
From May to December

Whoever said that
A still life was static
Apparently never lived with me and
My homemaker erratic

I'm so hung up on all the what, the how, the when, the where, the why
I'll never make but I'll try

I'll die for you
And sometimes I do

I wanted to
Wait till we're alone
Before I confess
I'm so far gone
What's wrong with you
Guess it's safe to say
That I never really know
Yeah I never really know
But that's ok
