lyrics

I’d write you a letter
But you probably wouldn’t read it
I’d like to know you better
But you’re hiding and afraid

And I’d sing you a love song
But you’d hardly even like it
Cause when it’s real is when it’s wrong
And no one’s getting paid

I don’t want to be here
But you’re so inviting
And this time I think I might stay

I’ll run through your hallways
Adjust all your paintings
And linger till I get my way
You want it that way

You’re calling out the answers
But you can’t recall the questions
You’re too busy keeping score
Of games you’ll never win

Your sink or swim decisions
And half-assed optimism
You’re breaking rules and making fools
Of enemies and friends

I don’t want to be here
But you’re so inviting
And this time I think I might stay

I’ll run through your hallways
Adjust all your paintings
And linger till I get my way
You want it that way
You want it that way

She said “This is just a bridge girl”
You know that’s your favorite part
Look at the bigger picture if you’re gonna call it art
You don’t know it till you know it all by heart

I don’t want to be here
But you’re so inviting
And this time I think I might stay

I’ll run through your hallways
Adjust all your paintings
And linger till I get my way
You want it that way
You want it that way
You want it that way
You want it that way

So put this in your letter
I promise not to read it
