My Play

I put on a play in my old house

In my cape, jumping on the old couch

Putting up lights when it’s cold out

Mom and dad, both seats sold out

Show you my play

Haven’t seen the old house lately

Wonder if they found my spaceship

I don’t want my own love wasted

Tell me this is what you’re saying

If you both outgrew one another

I could start now, looking for a lover

But if love dies, do I fucking bother

I just really really really really really wanna

Show you my play

And I don’t wanna do it for Dad

At Dad’s new place

I worked really really really really hard

Lemme show you my play

And I don’t wanna do it twice

Cause it’s not the same

I’ve been on dates, bringing flowers

Tryna’ be great for an hour

You and me might go sour

But if we don’t hold out, then we’re cowards

I put on a play in my basement

Mom and dad smiling faces

But now I don’t know if they faked it

Guess everything is complicated

If you both outgrew one another

I could start now, looking for a lover

But if love dies, do I fucking bother

I just really really really really really wanna

Show you my play

And I don’t wanna do it for Dad

At Dad’s new place

I worked really really really really hard

Lemme show you my play

And I don’t wanna do it twice

Cause it’s not the same

You did everything everything everything that you could

We do everything everything everything till it’s through

I’ll do everything everything everything when I’m you

But when I show you my play

Will you pretend you didn’t know

If I make a mistake

It’s gonna get really really really really bad

Before it’s okay

But maybe you’ll forget it all

While you’re watching my play
