Swallow

I try to hide it

I try to just lay low

Be on my way back home

But I know

That you don't like it

You're staring out the window

At the rows and rows of those

Same familiar buildings

The same old unavoidable feeling

Welling up

Patterns in the ceiling

In the ceiling

The same band posters on your wall

And the same conversation

I'm too distant and I'm too cynical

Am I listening? Don't be difficult

I don't wanna sit thru all

The same explanations

I'm so tired of words and visuals

I'll just swallow it

I'll just swallow it

I guess I'll just swallow all my pride

I guess I'll just swallow all my

Thoughts I have inside

I guess nobody likes my insights

I don't mind

I guess I just won't try to be understood anymore

But you don't like it

You're saying

Baby don't you know nobody knows you better than me?

And I'm scared to leave

I'm scared to leave

Then your roommate came stumbling in

With an awkward hello and then

She disappeared fully again

(I hate it, I hate it, I hate it)

I guess the good life never begins

Cause the stalling never ends

Should we just do takeout again?

(I hate it, I hate it, I hate it)
