You lied
You said that I was cool but I know that’s not true
Cause I was there and there are pictures, after school
Pit stains at noon, we’re driving to avoid the last days of rules
And I tried
I tried to tell you how I feel and you listened
Took criticism like a champ, that’s why I like you
And your friends,
They drank my tea and chugged my booze and now
I’m afraid to ever lose
And they’ll say that I’m crazy
But it’s just cause I’m a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
But I’m never late
I’m always early
I know
I should be fine with missing out
And I know
I should feel better off without no doubts or regrets
That’s why I love you
We’ll cry about it when Georgia’s in our heads
And we’ll fight
We’ll fight about it all when the timing’s right
And I’ll even wear that old green bouncer jacket you like
But enough about that
Since when did you have tear drops in your eyes
And I know that I’m crazy
But it’s just cause I’m a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
A lady, a lady, a lady, a lady
But I’m never late
I’m always early
Yeah I’m never late
I’m always early
And I’ll stay up late like past 10:30
And I’ll take a shower cause I can't feel dirty
Yeah I’m never late
I’m always early, early
Never late, always early
I’m your perfect
Little lady
Never late, always early
I’m your perfect
Little lady, lady, lady
Never late
I’m a lady

I can’t get by without a drive alone at least once a week
I’ll dilute the feeling with sugary drinks and poetry that’s assigned to me
I’ll turn it in at the end of the week, the validation’s a part of me
Graded for my apathy, I’m chugging water and shredded wheat
And chocolate chips and cranberries
I’m sick of just passing the time, sick of just passing the time
Time and time again I try
But I’m sick of just passing the time, sick of passing time
I’m sick of just passing the time
And I can’t get through a night alone without a hundred episodes
I’ll watch until my brains explode or someone stops leaving me alone
And everyday I hope that you’re okay and still thinking of me
What kind of ex-friend would I be if I didn’t haunt you while you’re asleep
And you’re busy passing time
You’re so busy passing the time
Time and time again I try
But I’m sick of just passing the time, sick of passing time
We’re so sick of just passing the time

Today my mom came to visit me
Just in time for my appointment
The one I had been dreading
The one I had avoided
My friends all rode the bus with me
Held onto my pointer finger
As I got my results in
I held my breath like a singer
Last night we saw an airplane
And all I could think of east Portland
You were talking about the simulation
And I darted inside with an idea
I’m picking myself up again
Showing I care through my tears
Feeling a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of fear
Feeling a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of fear
You got a package from your best friend
It made me cry when you opened it
I know what it’s like to know someone
And I know what it’s like to lose it
Everything I feel is heavy
But everything we do feels light
You got scared so I told you
You could sleep in my bed for the night
I’m picking myself up again
Saying things that I really mean
It’s a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of fear
It’s a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of fear
It’s a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of fear

we stayed up until 2 in the morning
you set two alarms for 8am
you didn’t listen to them
i asked if you thought i was a robot
you said “maybe, maybe not”
no one’s heard this one
but i’ll show you
no one’s heard this one
but i’ll show you
but don’t look me in the eye
cause i might die
yeah don’t look me in the eye
cause i might cry
and i might tell you
everything about me
i might tell you
everything
i was on the phone with my mom today
(i was on the phone with my mom)
she told me about my dads side eye
(she told me that i got it all wrong)
she said that he’ll probably never get it
so i won’t tell him
unless i really need to
but i’d tell you
i’d tell you
i’d tell you
i’d tell you
we found out that four college kids died today
they all lived somewhere near your hometown
and i said “i’m so sorry did you know them?”
you said “i don’t need to”
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
i don’t need to
you showed me the songs that you grew up with
and i thought about how artists make me sad
not cause they’re so often misunderstood
but that they get a piece of life
that no one else has
and that’s lonely
but we both have it
yeah it’s lonely
but we understand
it’s lonely
but we understand
it’s lonely
but we understand

I Like You (patience)

I forgot my wallet
You said something profound
I didn't know what to call it
The feeling of you not being around
Like a missing limb, but not as dire
I still have drive just less deep, deep desire
I took down photos
to make room on my wall
you took me out on a holiday
and you wrote my name on the bathroom stall
And I think it’s funny how we said
“I love you” before “I like you”
I like you, I like you
I gave you my book for Christmas
Cause it reminded me of us
I remember how you read it
And we walked out of the store smiling
I promise you’re not bad, there’s nothing wrong with that
Sitting under the cork tree
Smelling the flowers
Silently smiling, silently smiling
Smiling
And I think it’s funny how we said
“I love you” before “I like you”
I like you, I like you
I like
That I can’t impress you
By acting young
I have to be a grownup now
No playing dumb
No playing dumb
No more playing
Playing around
Playing around
No more playing
