Dog Problems

Don't you dare speak with someone you don't know.

They'll feel it in the back of their throat.

We know I cant construct a poem,

Cause words like girls get bored and run

C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"

I've got nothing, you should see me,

I smoke myself to sleep.

And blame postmodern things I cant relate,

Like summer camp and coastal states.

Like alcohol and coffee beans.

Dance floors and magazines.

I think its safe to say "I've only got myself to blame"

But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down,

Taking pictures of themselves.

And so I walk the web in search of love,

But always seem to end up stuck.

I'm finding flaws in everyone.

I've reached the point where all I want,

Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up.

We are parallel lines we're running in circles,

We're never meant to cross.

I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine,

My pussycat, my trampoline.

Now all I get are wincing cheeks,

And dog problems, I signed a lease.

Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and park.

Instead I broke a girl's heart,

And flew back to phoenix to finish the year as it started.

Can you hear me?

Are you listening?

This is the sound of my heart breaking.

And I hope its entertaining,

Cause for me its a bitch.

Was it worth it?

When you slept with him?

Did you get it all out of your system?

I am a man

Holding it all

I couldn't breath

Caught me on the cross

I didn't know

I couldn't give up

B is for believing you'd always be here for me.

E is for everything, even when we'd see it though.

C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to

A because, because, you always run away.

I never finish phrases, I misspell.

Open arms are prison cells.

When I said, "I hate what I've become"

I lied, I hated who I was.

So when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat,

Then don't you ever, no never, ever, speak with someone you don't know.
