lyrics

I etched the letters into rock
With a twenty-dollar pocketknife
The marks are shallow and imprecise
This is all that I've got
As I fumble the guitar chords
And I sing all the wrong words
I'm wishing I was wishing I was more like you
Can't even look you in the eye
Retracting thoughts before they come out wrong
I think I've rambled on for way too long
I think I won't even try
As I'm sitting on the precipice
Thinking of everything I never said
I'm wishing I was wishing I was you

When I try to speak
I don't know what I mean
Will I always be this tired of me
Might I find a prouder way

No one ever calls me up
Why the hell do I still check my phone
Ain't it enough to just be alone
To be deep in this rut
As I'm pacing my basement floor
You're sneaking out your back door
I've got the sanctuary blues

When I try to speak
I don't know what I mean
Will I always be this tired of me
Might I find a prouder way
When I try to move
I don't know what to do
I stumble through
Same dead-end routes
Might I find a prouder way

When I try to speak
I don't know what I mean
Will I always be this tired of me
Might I find a prouder way
When I try to move
I don't know what to do
I stumble through
Same dead-end routes
Might I find a prouder way
