Seatbelt

It's 6:45
The night is still young
And now you're on my mind
Movies and wine
My friends are having fun
While I'm biding my time
I'll kiss somebody new to feel less alone
But no one stays after Two
I guess that's just how it goes
Another dead end
I know it'll take another weekend in bed
I'll run from my thoughts
I'll chase another heartbreak
I'll break one instead
I'll say it every time until it's the truth
I know I'll never win
But what if I do

Once again, once again
Once again, nothing new
I'll pretend we're just friends
While you're tying your shoes
You'll forget and I'll regret it
Like there's something to lose
Now you're walking out the door
And I just let you do it

So what does it take
To be the hand that's worth holding
I'm always afraid
No one wants someone who's broken
So I make this mistake
over, and over, and over
'Till there's nothing to take from me
I'm just getting older
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
It's hard to crash and burn if you've got no fuel inside
And they can't really overstep, there was never a line
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive

11 a.m. and I'm bored to death
God forbid, I'm alone in my head
And my best friend
Said there's nothing to him
He's the reason that you had to get a therapist
And I know
That you'd kill to get one more kiss
But you know he never thinks about you like this
Imagine if you would've went and had some kids
They would've grown up to be just like him
I'm waiting for the part
Where I move on
Magic from the start
Fall in love in a car
Look up at the stars
This one wont fall apart
But life is hard
It breaks your heart
I'll feel it when it gets dark

Once again, once again
Once again, nothing new
I'll pretend we're just friends
While you're tying your shoes
You'll forget and I'll regret it
Like there's something to lose
Now you're walking out the door

So what does it take
To be the hand that's worth holding
I'm always afraid
No one wants someone who's broken
So I make this mistake
Over, and over, and over
'Till there's nothing to take from me
I'm just getting older
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
It's hard to crash and burn if you've got no fuel inside
And they can't really overstep, there was never a line
I'm fastening a seatbelt to a car that won't drive
