I must have a second heart hanging out in my neck
‘Cause whenever I try to speak I end up choking to death
There’s at least a little worry in every single breath
And when it beats I know it’s teasing me to flex my regret
I’m a hope denier for the moment as I exist
An over-thinker with a passion that I cannot resist
I’ve spent two years and a day left with nothing to kiss
I’m sure there’s gotta be a more important focus than this
Every day repeats itself until it repeats the end
I’m going through the motions of going through the motions again
I’ve got a promise that is starting to get hard to comprehend
It’s restricting me from loving anyone who beats their head
Moral scope’s a little iffy when it comes to sacrifices
But I can’t be with a woman who’s got substance-centered vices
I had one chance this year to win somebody who was priceless
But I fucked it up like always, that’s just how it finalizes
I made what I could
For two decades straight I tried to be good
It’s the little things I want and the big things I should
And the little things will always come around misunderstood
Yeah she’s pretty but she’s dangerous
And I’m bored and fairly amorous
Sick of waiting ‘round like ivy on cinder
And I’m not doing any better swiping on Tinder
Yeah, I know it sounds pretty pathetic
And your reaction should be appropriately apathetic
But your choices are slim if your standards are high
But all I really want is someone who is sober through the night
I’ve had a few bad experiences
Learned from all of ‘em but they still me make curious if
I will be able to successfully, impressively
Obtain a love I’ve been trying so hard to get for centuries
That’s what it feels like at least
When I’m sleepy-eyed and sputtering and stuttering my speech
I can’t ever get the words out like I want them to be
So I end up staying silent and regret eternally
It’s all the same it never changes
To the point where I get choked up being near beautiful strangers
‘Cause even then no words are required
But I’m overtaken by my never-ending desire
Just to be with someone formally and a for a little bit
I could cease all my complaining like my family members did
2, 3, and 5 years they’ve made it work so far
And I wanna be a part of it so much it’s bizarre
Years ago I never cared about the forefront of love
Now it’s totally unavoidable, the pain is too much
But I guess I should relax and keep my wanting reserved
And not be begging for a person that I may not deserve
