A shame
That this don’t work but baby there ain’t no way
Break it down and build it up a hundred ways
But we know
That this won’t go anywhere
(anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
Ooo
Always taking shots at the other and no we won’t quit
Ooo
And I know, I know that this just isn’t worth it
But when I see you in that shirt, oh
I get a little less sure, oh
Thinking I can make it work, when I see you in that shirt, oh
Oh
We don’t
Talk so we can get you out of your clothes
Cause I can’t see how bad you are for me up close
Skin to skin
So we don’t go anywhere
(anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
Ooo
Now we’re taking shots the bar where we had our first kiss
Ooo
And I tell myself it’s nothing more than flirting
But when I see you in that shirt, oh
I get a little less sure, oh
Thinking I can make it work, when I see you in that shirt, oh
Oh
You know the one that you had on out on your front steps
Sitting in the sun, in the sun
It takes me back, I almost crashed the car while parking
You know I’d never seen anyone
Look like that
When I see you in that shirt, oh
I get a little less sure, oh
Thinking I can make it work, when I see you in that shirt, oh
Oh

Tell Me When To Shut Up
03:25

On and on
Oh I could go on and on
Cause I can’t get enough conversation
And I catch myself always pacing, when I’m
On the phone
What if I do but you don’t?
Think of me like
Long term, in our forties, 'cause I like
that face on Sunday mornings
But I don’t wanna mess this up
Wait it out a couple of months
No I don’t mean to rush
So I’m holding my tongue
But when I see you I
Give up everything on my mind
Like I’m a little in love
Oh shit, I’m saying too much
Just tell me when to shut up
Oh how long
Do you wait on someone?
Else to say what
You want, or do you tell ‘em? One-on-one
If I’m over-bearing then
Stop me before I get too far
(Yeah) Let’s skip right over
Playing games and counting cards
'Cause the hardest part
Is I don’t wanna mess this up
Wait it out a couple of months
No I don’t mean to rush
So I’m holding my tongue
But when I see you I
Give up everything on my mind
Like I’m a little in love
Oh shit, I’m saying too much
Just tell me when to shut up
I just, don’t know (don’t know)
Where’s my control?
Cause I, I know (I know)
That I’m gonna mess this up
Wait it out a couple of months
No I don’t mean to rush
So I’m holding my tongue
But when I see you I
Give up everything on my mind
Like I’m a little in love
Oh shit, I’m saying too much
Just tell me when to shut up

Too Much
03:16

I can’t help but notice every time we talk it’s like you muscle through it
Making myself a little smaller every time I put you through it
Got this way of making me feel I deserve
Your exasperation like I’m too much work
Tired of making you look bad
Holding my tongue so I don’t make you mad (don’t make you mad)
I wanna, I wanna be the one but I’m always
Too much, too much, too much
And somehow I’m still never enough
Can’t keep ‘em, in love, in love, in love
All of me is never enough
Question on tip on the tongue and I can already feel you roll your eyes
Don’t know how to be ‘round you without feeling like I waste your time
Got this way of making me feel undermined
Just by looking through me with those tired eyes
(Well I’m) Tired of making you look bad
Holding my tongue, so I don’t make you mad (don’t make you mad)
I wanna, I wanna, the one but I’m always
Too much, too much, too much
And somehow I’m still never enough
Can’t keep ‘em, in love, in love, in love
All of me is never enough
You want me to say that, but not like that (eh), no not like that
It’s never enough
You want me to hold back, but not like that (eh), no not like that
It’s never enough
Too much, too much, too much
And somehow I'm still never enough, never enough
One or two times, I could chalk it up
To just a bad break, to just some tough luck
But you gotta wonder, you start to wonder
(I don't feel every time we talk, it's like you don't notice me at all)
Never enough, never enough

String up lights in my rental while the world falls apart
Fall asleep to the shows that I’ve already watched
Want security of feeling like it’s all got a plot
(When I know there’s not) (I know there’s not)
Heard you get out what you put in, so I never stop
and if it don’t work out, wasn’t doing enough
So now I can’t sit still, or alone with my thoughts
I know I’m lucky but I selfishly want more than I got
I know in the end
that it’s all irrelevant
everybody now’s not getting fucked up for the hell of it
but to forget
that this is all part of the American dream
Paying off debt that’ll outlive me
I don’t wanna wait, feels like all my life
Is building up, to getting by
I don’t wanna hear, things’ll be alright
I’m tired as shit, 26, and out of time
I don’t just want, what I want, no, I want it all young
so every second’s spent stressing on what I haven’t done
I know, I know, I know, I’m sorry, yeah I miss everyone
We’ll catch up when I’m finally someone
I hope in the end
looking back I won’t regret
that I never went out and got fucked up for the hell of it
never forget
that this is all part of the American dream
oh oh, this dream’s gonna die with me
I don’t wanna wait, feels like all my life
Is building up, to getting by
I don’t wanna hear, things’ll be alright
I’m tired as shit, 26, and out of time
Cause if I’m honest
I’m not where I wanted to be
Yeah honestly
I’m not quite where I wanted
