lyrics

i'm on the floor and i'm following your twitter
you've been tweeting from your liver and you ran out of grammar
i ran out of the house and started bumping in the mosh pit
stammered it- it's over can you quit it with the hashtags?

ninety-five opinions and all of them are terrible
none of them expressible
a hundred forty characters
i'm reading too much into it
i bet you are a great cook
recently we started getting intimate on Facebook

late night messaging
wonder what its meaning is
wake up in the morning
discovering it's meaningless
i feel like dying
you're too easy to lie to
i'm at terrible at lying
see, that was a lie too
that was a lie too

(you get it though, right?)

i'd never lie to you
i'd never lie to you

lying on the ground in the middle of the school yard
calling you from here would seem i'm trying too hard
to impress you
i'll just text you
pull you in just to reject you

you listened to my new song
you found it really beautiful
totally rebloggable! totally Youtube-able!

late night songwriting
wonder what its meaning is
wake up in the afternoon when everything is meaningless
i feel like dying
it's so easy to want to
i'm terrible at lying
you're so easy to talk to

so can i talk to you?
so can i talk to you?
so can i talk to you? (can we talk it through?)
so can i talk to you? (can we talk it through?)
