Backwards

You wait for the ringing to end
Just to call again
To then pretend you didn't see it
You can't stand people not liking you
You fake being overconfident
And exhaustively pretend
That you don't have a heart
But I hear it
Beating from afar
I wonder if someday you'll change your ways
Cause it's getting in the way of us
I've put up with much more than I could take
Now I need you to mature
Cause we can't keep going backwards anymore
I'm patient till you play your little games
And make me feel ashamed for just wanting to be loved back
Is that too much to ask?
You know my friends and family
While i'm just standing here
Being the secret that you keep (pause)
I wonder if someday you'll change your ways
Cause it's getting in the way of us
I've put up with much more than I could take
Now I need you to mature
Cause we can't keep on going backwards anymore
I know
You know
There's only so much deeper we can cut
Say the words i need to hear it
Make a post and let them see it
Graduate and drive my way
Tell your mom i'm good for you
Someday she might like me
I won't need to measure words
We can visit the Big Sur
Anywhere you want I'll go
Huntington, you can go surf
I'll watch you from the sand
Rest assured that you can stand
To let me live in you like blood
I wonder if someday you'll change your ways
Cause it's getting in the way of us
I've put up with much more than I could take
Now I need you to mature
Cause we can't keep on
We can't keep on
Cause we can't keep on
Going backwards anymore
