Lyrics
i’m sitting as useless as a police officer and i don’t fit in your shoes
you’re looking at me like you’re imagining my funeral
and i can’t really blame you
ive been ignoring you searching for something i don’t think i’ll ever get, no
i think it’s better than sitting for the sixth time that evening and watching your friends get stoned
this is my second walk home of the day
i stopped by the park
swinging back and forth just felt too typical
for the world's tiniest heart
i never meant to choke on my temper, the music just made me sick
sometimes i forget that i’m a real person
and not just tapping on the glass
Waiting for the day when you say
“I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this
I feel like I’m getting too old to put up with all your shit
I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this
I feel like I’m getting too old for the things you keep remembering”
“I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this
I feel like I’m getting too old to put up with all your shit
And I’m past the point of needing you
I don’t love you like you want me too
It’s always something isn’t it
I’m taking you for granite
And using you to build a wall
To keep everyone that I love out
Even though it’s not what I want
But I’ll still throw a party there”
And sitting on the bottom stairs
I’ll grip onto the bathroom sink staring into the mirror and think
That when I fuck up for the final time
There will be nothing to hide behind
i’m sitting as useless as a police officer
i feel like a little kid
with the brain of a squirrel and the body of a sloth
and the temper of animals talking shit
about people that i barely know
a shark or maybe a bear
riding shotgun riding home
“it’s a pretty sky back there somewhere”
