Lyrics
Loner Phase
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They’re calling you a genius
Is that why you’re acting so competitive
And even if they mean it
Don’t let the feeling get to your head
I really wanna call you
Better clean up the mess from the last time we met
The roof is gonna fall through
I’ll stay out in the cold all alone instead
If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changes
But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space
The wine is in the basement
So why can’t I hide away and hibernate
I’m sleeping through the moment
And we’re so afraid of getting worse with age
If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changes
But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space
I’m so careful, I got out of the way
I’m so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say
Won’t you give me distance
Just one of the words you ṗut on my plate
And maybe then you’d listen
And I could get out of this one act play
You see me waving my white flag
You see me waving my white flag
Won’t you ever wanna take me there
Won’t you ever wanna take me there
