lyrics

I don't fantasize about having sex with anyone when I get like this. When I think of myself in the future there's no one there just a world that's older. 'Cause there's no talisman that I can hold onto tight enough. 'Cause there's no hope for us in this garage.

So keep me company while I summon the courage to ask you to leave.

I wanna be able to laugh at your jokes, like I used to.

There's something going on but I've been standing by the door and waiting to leave. Thinking of the words to tell other people about the things that I have seen, when I should have been upfront and honest, I promise we'll get this right the next time, but I don't think that I can be a person that you can tolerate.

Theses feelings I swallow down, and choke before the notes resolve.

I wanna be able to laugh at your jokes, like I used to.

There's a bitterness to it: no matter how many times I say out loud, "this time I'm gonna do what I gotta do to be the person that I wanna be," it isn't getting any easier to do it.
