lyrics

I never like to go to parties
I get weird when I’m drunk
I’m always living inside my head
I never get much done
I’m weary of the world
I want another one
Not for any other reason
Than the chance of fun

You know I would always try to wake up
And keep together all
The things becoming undone
Before I lose it all

You used to try and keep me busy
playing stupid games
The kind we’dmplay when we were stuck inside
On stormy days
Cross-legged on a carpet
Make the room a haze
You know I’d make myself a stranger
Just to hold your gaze

I never thought we'd find a way to break up
The colored pieces fall
And break all of the boards up
We go and lose it all
We lose it all

But it gets harder
To love you
Every day
I never hold out hope
that anyone will save me

There was no one offering
To care for me
I never know
No I could hardly bear
To speak to you

If we should happen...

To meet again
We can talk about how all our friends
Took sides like Montagues and Capulets
The way they went up in arms
About the things we said
When we were twelve shots in, on the brink of death
You know I
had gone and made my mind up
Before i knew it
I had used all of my time up
I go and lose it all
We lose it all

But it gets harder
To love you
Every day
I never hold out hope
that anyone will save me

There was no one offering
To care for me
I never know
No I could hardly bear
To speak to you

If we should happen to meet
