[Intro: Acosmist]
Do you know what I would have done for you?
I pick apart our talks in the dark of a foreign room
Was that your intention?
Your words held weight your lips and teeth couldn't anticipate
On impact, split the pavement, left me frozen in place
Is that what you wanted?
(It's not so black and white)
Honest, truth is, call it what it is
[Chorus: Acosmist]
I know that you called
And I know I didn't pick up
Thinking way too much
Not thinking about you enough
I should have been honest
But I have been so stuck in my head
Do me like a chore
Dilute me when I taste too strong
Sever ties with stresses
You've put up with for too long
You've got one foot out the door
Leaving me undone in my head
[Verse 1: Archer]
Hey, just for you I dressed up
And combed my hair, you know I
Like to wear it messed up
This is so messed up
I've yet to fess up
I do my best but
It's not enough, not enough
It's never enough
So I try to adapt. Straggle at the
Back of the pack. Don't nobody react when I
f** up like they expect it from me now
Didn't see me coming, King James with the block, and the rebound
Finally tossed me the rock, look at me now
Took a shot, look at me now
Motherf**ers don't talk, they just tweet 'round the clock
They forgot how to walk, they be sheep now
Open up my thoughts, had a lot of this pot
Had some great ideas but I'm shleep now
I'm a weirdo, a creep
I'm whatever you want, but you don't want me
And now you're gone
'cause that's what you wanted
But at least I've got my sonnets
And a hundred broken promises
That eat up my conscience
Honestly, I've got options though
Wanna stick around, but I've gotta go
Better sit down, better listen up
Put the phone down, I ain't pickin' up
No, no, no
[Chorus: Acosmist & Archer]
I know that you called
And I know I didn't pick up (pick up)
Thinking way too much
Not thinking about you enough
I should have been honest
But I have been so stuck in my head
(Stuck in my head)
Do me like a chore
Dilute me when I taste too strong
Sever ties with stresses
You've put up with for too long
You've got one foot out the door
Leaving me undone in my head
[Bridge: Acosmist]
But do you know what I would have done for you if given the chance?
You call me out for indifference to the position you're in
Is that how you see me?
But when you're staring at me
In silent expectation
I shift in my seat, cycling through the words
I know I should say
[Verse 2: Acosmist]
Look
I can see that you got me all wrong
Break it down so you don't get lost
I'm the offspring of a cynic, fell behind in social politic
Relationships, they got me f**ed up
And I don't want you to feel unwanted
Your well-being rests heavy on my conscience
I don't talk about my ticks and tribulations 'cause I'm anxious
And the panic sets in far too often
But on god
I love you so much I'd sell my guitar
Move to some suburban nowhere
If that meant having your fine a** on my arm
Not as some eye candy, but as my entire heart
And my voice is all I've got
But I'd rather go deaf or go dumb than be so blind
To lose sight of our names written in the stars
Constellations, the purpose of all creation
And I swear, girl
The world doesn't care, girl
These dudes unaware, girl
They just wanna wear girls
Like badges of honor, building up their numbers
But I was that man, girl
We know where they stand, girl
So here is the plan, girl
Let's put this bullsh** to bed
I'm gonna spill my guts, get emotionally intimate
Never take you for granted again
(So I dare you to stay)
But I'ma never take you for granted again
(But I dare you to stay)
I'ma never take you for granted again
But all I said was "okay"
