lyrics

Waiting for the inevitable end
Has got me doing cartwheels again
Trying to work out in my head
The things that I said
And how they might've gotten misread

With a shotgun approach I could get it all set
Those this technique hasn't worked for me yet
Maybe it's best if we just try to forget
And I fly a stupid joke to get it out of your head

Why do we bury the burden of so little weight
I try to move on and resolve instead of simmer and wait

Walking on eggshells and parsing my words
And making sure I'm carefully heard

I'm marshalling my tongue, bleaching it clean
To guarantee you know what I mean

Or a reckless exchange, abandoned for now,
Replaced by strange semantics somehow
The sensitive boredom needing a handle
The message no longer lost in the channel

Why do carry the burden of so little weight
I try to move on and resolve instead of simmer and wait

Instead of trying to swallow my pride
Let it go just another time
And see someday how hard I had tried
And figure out just why

You were so unhappy
I just assumed it was me
I just assumed it was me

You say I said what you say I said
