I don't know what I'll do without you
But I guess that's what we'll find
I never had any doubt
That you'd be fine without me
But I never doubted I'd be just fine too
I’ll be fine without you
I never doubted I'd be fine
I did my time
I never doubted I’d be just fine too

I have this habit
Not so much of sticking my foot in my mouth
But more of opening it
Climbing in
And never coming out
So pull me out and I swear
I won’t pull you under
Just get me back to my couch
We’ll waste the winter away
Ignore the summer
Maybe in fall we’ll come out
I know you’re out there
You’re just like me
Sitting in your underwear eating a block of cheese
But I won’t call
And you won’t answer
It's probably best we never meet
But pull me out and I swear
I won’t pull you under
Just get me back to my couch
We’ll waste the winter away
Ignore the summer
Maybe in fall we’ll come out
Just get me back to my couch

I can’t remember a time where I have felt so broken
I know it's only been two hours
But it feels like forever since we last spoke
I know I must have done something
I know I probably said something
But for the life of me I can’t remember anything at all
But I'd do anything to make it up to you
Crawl back on my hands and knees and say I'm sorry
I’d swallow every little bit of pride I have
Just to put a smile on your face again
It’s eight years later and I still don't know what I’m doing
But at least I know I’m doing it well
Cause you’re still here and I’m still doing what I can
Just to keep you around
Cause I’ll do anything to keep hanging out with you
Crawl back on my hands and knees with two kids jumping on my back
I’ll swallow every drop of hot sauce in our fridge
Just to put a smile on your face again
The things I wouldn’t do

My Figurative Heart
01:15

I Don’t want you
To leave me alone
When you're gone I don’t know what to eat
How to feel, how to wake, how to sleep
Since you went away
I’m missing you every day
I’m literally missing half of my figurative heart

What’ve we learned from this?
The same thing that we swore
We never would forget
(But we've forgotten it)
Not this time around
If you’d just let this go
We wouldn’t even be here right now
So let's not do anything about it
Let’s not do anything at all
You want this so badly
But you’re fucking up so badly
Just close your eyes

Like Christmas lights in June
On the laziest house in town
I'm still hung up on you
And I'm never coming down
The tree is rotting away
in the living room
And I know it doesn’t matter now
But it didn’t really then
But I’m trying to be better
I’ve stopped sleeping with your friends

You told me that it really doesn't get
Any better than this
But what I failed to realize
Is what you really meant:
It just gets worse
None of this matters we're all gonna die
We're all fucking doomed and we're wasting our time
I can't even manage to make up a lie
About why I'm just sitting my house is on fire
We're all fucking doomed and we're wasting our time
I told you to stop jumping on the couch
But then you went and fell off
Now they’re interviewing me
In a hospital room
They'll probably take you away
None of this matters we're all gonna die
We're all fucking doomed and we're wasting our time
I can't even manage to make up a lie
About why I'm just sitting my house is on fire
So lets turn the music up too fucking loud
Make the neighbors call the cops to have them try to shut us down
If the world is ending this is how we’re going out to
We’re going out dancing and screaming out loud
We’re all fucking doomed and we’re wasting our time
