Mercury in Retrograde

Golden summer days
Seem so easy when looking back
Lately I've been told
That I'm way too stuck in the past
Time moves slower when it's full of tears
That's why this month has felt like 20 years
Nothing lasts too long, and I'm afraid of change

I've been getting tired
Of all the lies and cancelled plans
If I could I'd go
Right back to when it all began
It's all so simple when life's on your side
But doubt and jealousy can cloud your mind
I've been hurt before, and I'm afraid to trust

Cold-hearted fights,
Tears in my coffee
Long days, restless nights
Hating my body
I woulda' gave you everything
If only you had stayed. (ha ha ha, ha ha ha)
I feel so alone, I'm stuck in bad traffic
I stare at my phone to block out the static
And nothing feels the same
When Mercury's in retrograde

The world is spinning fast
And what if I just can't keep up?
I try to do my best
But the whole system is corrupt
Why am I still wasting every day?
We're all just specks of dust anyway
Perfect is my goal and I'm afraid to fail

Cold-hearted fights
Tears in my coffee
Long days, restless nights
Hating my body
I woulda' gave you everything
If only you had stayed. (ha ha ha, ha ha ha)
I feel so alone, I'm stuck in bad traffic
I stare at my phone to block out the static
And nothing feels the same
When Mercury's in retrograde

Nothing feels the same
And I don't understand it
I hate how things have been
So I'll blame it on the planets
So what if astrology is how I cope?
It's easier to think
Something else sways my emotions
What if things are still wrong
When it's back to prograde motion?
I'm starting to doubt
What is best and if the universe knows

Cold-hearted fights,
Tears in my coffee
Long days, restless nights
Hating my body
I woulda' gave you everything
If only you had stayed. (ha ha ha, ha ha ha)
I feel so alone, I'm stuck in bad traffic
I stare at my phone to block out the static
And nothing feels the same
When Mercury's in retrograde
