Never really liked that
Feeling when you wake up
Already tired enough
To go back to bed
You know I only write
These goofy songs
To keep my head
Away from itself and
To have something to show for all the
Time spent by myself
All the puzzle pieces fit now
But if they hadn’t somehow
Oh if they hadn’t somehow
And as much as
I hate to admit it
I know deep down there’s
A part of me that wanted this
Cause at least I’m done
Being the thorn that’s
Stuck in your foot
All the goddamn time
Now there’s no one left to blame
For yourself
All the puzzle pieces fit now
But if they hadn’t somehow
But if they hadn’t somehow
And I just wish you would have told me
We were just pretending when we
Wrote those stupid letters full of all those things
I thought you meant
And I just wish I could have known you
Any other time than I did
Maybe then I’d have kept it all in context
