lyrics

Every person that you meet has a story cluttered with marginalia, too boring to read. You don't really know yourself and you don't know anybody else. That's the truth of it.

So don't try to prove who you are--in another two years we'll have nothing to talk about. All we are are shared experiences, occasional jokes, regrettable kisses.

Spines are broken and bending, pages torn, and library stamps suggest we're past due. We're constantly re-written. Meanings are built on and twisted and turned around to something ugly but true.

And I can understand why you think that's horrifying. A puzzle you're not smart enough to solve. But I've got something to say and you won't like that it's true, but I'm nobody and you're nobody too.

Wake up on the couch. "How'd I get here?" I ask myself as another day passes without even. No new chapter written, no exciting twist. It's so much effort not to put myself back on the shelf.

So I don't try to prove who I am. In another two years I'll have nothing to bitch about. All this is is a forgettable shared experience with occasional jokes, like how the song ends here.
