Screw Up

I'm not sure if I know what's at hand
She's probably known all along
She makes me think that I understand
What they're singing about in those songs
So I start thinking long and then hard
Cause I don't wanna share all my wrongs
I realize that I'm slowly letting down my guard
When I start to talk about those songs

And that's about when
I screw up again
that's about when
I start to understand

And I don't know when
She'll pick up again
Yeh, that's about when
I start to understand

I tell her that I already know its too soon
And I'm an emotional mess
But she shuts me up with her favorite tune
Cause she just couldn't care any less
She's right though that melody is just too good
And it reminds me of an important thing
That I haven't felt this way since childhood
And I really really like this feeling

Ooh
That's about when
I screw up again
Ooh that's about when
I start to understand

And I don't know when
She'll pick up again
Ooh that's about when
I start to understand

I wanna talk to her all the time
but I'm afraid that she'll grow tired
I wonder if I'm just in it for the climb
Do I use her to feel inspired

I'm so nervous

This can't be right
I can't get anything done
She's the last thing
that I think about at night
And she's still there when I turn on the lights

Something's oughta happen
This can't go on
I should do something if she's not already gone

I should do something
This can't be right
Cause now my solution is way outta sight

Ooh
That's about when
I screw up again
Ooh that's about when
I start to understand

And I don't know when
She'll pick up again
Ooh, that's about when
I start to understand
