Thinking About Things
I just said, "I love you" to a girl I haven't seen since December
I remember, she was close enough to me
Now I'm growing up and throwing 'round some words to reassure
That I'll always love her, because I loved her once before
And I don't care 'cause I'm backed into a corner
And life's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules
Day by day, don't walk away
"You've got a good thing going on," I tell myself
It's like, throw it all away or stick around
Around away with it
I don't wanna stay with it
Pass it on, be strong
Hold on, not long ago and every day is the same thing
Tomorrow is the same thing
I hold my head in my hand
(Everything) that I do
(Seems so everything) that I say
(Seems so everything) that I am
(Seems so) everything seems so wrong
Am I dramatic? Or am I empathizing with myself?
If it's selfish, I don't want it, because I know it too damn well
To forget it, forget it, I don't want it anymore
And I just said, "I love you" to a girl I loved before
(Everything) that I do
(Seems so everything) that I say
(Seems so everything) that I am
(Seems so) everything seems so wrong
And I don't care 'cause I'm backed into a corner
And life's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules
Day by day, don't walk away
"You've got a good thing going on," I tell myself
It's like, throw it all away or stick around
Around away with it
I don't wanna stay with it
Pass it on, be strong
Hold on, not long ago and every day is the same thing
Tomorrow is the same thing
I hold my head in my hand
(Everything) that I do
(Seems so everything) that I say
(Seems so everything) that I am
(Seems so) everything seems so wrong
I remember, she was close enough to me
Now I'm growing up and throwing 'round some words to reassure
That I'll always love her, because I loved her once before
And I don't care 'cause I'm backed into a corner
And life's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules
Day by day, don't walk away
"You've got a good thing going on," I tell myself
It's like, throw it all away or stick around
Around away with it
I don't wanna stay with it
Pass it on, be strong
Hold on, not long ago and every day is the same thing

I hold my head in my hand
(Everything) that I do
(Seems so everything) that I say
(Seems so everything) that I am
(Seems so) everything seems so wrong
