Average Joe (Live)

I'm not gonna lie, I miss you a lot
Whether we're jokin about pot, connecting the dots or whatnot
You've found your new life far away, and I'm just stuck here to stay and that's okay
See, love is something powerful that really messes us up
When we have something like that, we make bad decisions, that's just our luck
And I made a bad decision
So I take myself away in a whirlwind of emotion, bubbles all around me, yeah
I'm drowning in this ocean
The clouds that came in, they settled down hard
I don't think that I'm gonna get far
If you get with me, you don't have to worry about hovering
Because I'm too busy covering my pain
Burying it in angst with my teenage poems
Talking about life, death, love, and all our crazy wacky motives
You look at me, your Average Joe
That's what she called me, she loved me so
Yell my name in this dark abyss
My love for you will never miss
I watch as you fall in his arms, an overwhelming sound fills my head
I'm deafened by alarms
I'm crying in west Plano
You're laughing in Toronto
I'm sobbing in the sewers
You're giving him full body tours
His long hair and brown eyes, are they better than mine
They say there's a million fish in the sea
But damnit I had the perfect catch you see
But I didn't know how to fish, so I let it go
Dark skies and black crows
What's even here
Why are you here
Who are you, who are we
Why are we so selfishly driven by fear
Maybe it's because of the overwhelming dread
Of the monster under your bed
Or the monster in your head
Who creeps and crawls so awful in the night
Feeds on your broken heart in the tattered moonlight
