Lately, I’ve been wondering if you’ve had peaks of happy more often than the last two
Decades that is your life
I heard the wonderful news, and I’ve been pocketing my social issues,
Less writing in a journal, traded for all night long talks, writing cliched songs
How I am fucked up, but we’re all fucked up
Lately, I’ve been hoping for you, that nothing changes your views, especially me
And my goddamn sad songs, trade it for the hippie-themed, forced-upon love
And talk about your horizontal figure eights, and all the animals you’re gonna save
Trade in the trend that we proudly held in the past two years, while the ice caps melt
Just like all of us, thought I’d melt with you, but the whole group fell through
I guess I’m just hoping you don’t think of me as an issue
Lately, I’ve been thinking about us
Everyday fucked up teens, living and dreaming in parking lots
Forgotten in time, but embroidered in souls or subconsciouses
If there’s even a difference
I don’t keep tabs if I don’t hear back, I learned full and well
That those who love most can let go, even if you loosen your grip
Your soul’s got embroidered patches of all sorts of mammals
Your very own heart made up of patches of others in handfuls
Like how you made me a heart out of a dollar bill
Worth more than a hundred dollar bill
