On your own, still searching. Don't know what fucking for….
On your own, still searching. You find a time to call, you call.
It's a fact that I miss you, when you go I need some reassurance in my head. But when you don't talk, believe me, I hear you when you say “am I stringing you along?”
You say nothing at all.
Least of all the things, I’m fucking grateful for… You reach out once a day.
It's what I signed up for but I just can't shake… This feeling, I hear you when you say, “Am I stringing you along?”
You say nothing at all.
On your own, still searching. Don't know what fucking for….
On your own, still searching. You find a time to call, you call.
You’re gonna call.

Who's Cheating Who

To the bastard who told me I couldn't write.
And to that SAME asshole who knew I could write better than him… Better…
It's a lie they tell you to regress from the truth.
It’s from beneath you find it sneaking up, now who’s going to tell you the truth?!
Those insecurities and thoughts that you once knew, rise from the dead to haunt.
Tell me who’s cheating who?
Whose turn was it to turn up the music? Turn up the sound.
We’re never going to reach tomorrow if we keep having the same conversations...
After this point, your guess is as good as mine. - Alex

Nothing's going right.
Nothing's going well. But I’ve got this front-facing camera.
On my cellular telephone…
I’ve got a platform to talk about all the things that are going well.
Posting pictures of my best life.
Unless they ask, they'll never know. They’ll never know…
Nothing's going right.
Nothing's going well. But I’ve got this front-facing camera.
On my MONTHLY PLAN, cellular telephone…
I’ve got a platform to talk about all the things that are going well.
Posting pictures of my best life.
Unless they ask, they'll never know. They’ll never know…
That I can't do right. Can't do right!
I’ve got a platform to talk about all the things that are going well.
Posting pictures of my best life.
Unless they ask, they'll never know. They’ll never know…
THAT I HURT ON THE INSIDE.
I'm depressive and self-destructive.
But my teeth are so pearly white.
But somehow I can't do anything right.
Yeah, I can’t do anything right.
I can't do anything right.
So I scroll and scroll and scroll all night.
I scroll and scroll and scroll all night?!?!?!?

Same Love, Same Team

I’ve lived the longest day.
To hell and back, before a lunch break.
On pins and needles all the way to quitting time 12 hours later.
I fucked up again, forgot that we had plans…
On my way, I put a beer in my hand.
There’s yelling on the phone.
I said things I didn't mean. I hope you know...
You're the sunshine in my dark life.
My sunshine.
(and) I don't want to listen.
And I don't want to think.
I’d maybe feel better if I didn't worry… N’everything.
But I don't want to listen. And I don't want to think.
Same love, same team.
It hasn't rained since you’ve gone away.

Give me your fear, all reservation.
It's not like I don't feel those things too.
The reasons for, reasons against, reasons not to fuck with your heart.
Rational brain, you know I’m familiar with you.
Salt in your brain, salt in your heart.
That alone must be something.
Two hearts out in the open.
Two salty hearts, that must mean something.
You've got yours, (and) I’ve got mine, to keep.
(But) what if I like yours?
The reasons for, reasons against, reasons not to fuck with your heart.
Rational brain, you know I’m familiar with you.
Salt in your brain, salt in your heart.
That alone must be something.
Two hearts out in the open.
Two salty hearts, that must mean something.
I could measure the distance, but I feel the same.
Measure the distance but I feel the same? Measure the distance.
Dammit all!
I could measure the distance, but I feel the same…
