Motions

When fall hits

I’ll shed my leaves

And everybody will see

My bones are barely carrying me

And I know

We don’t talk the way we used to

I think it has a lot to do

With me getting used to you

And all the motions of everything

I want to feel emotions the way I did when it was, “uck everything, I’m seventeen

Oh, oh

I found another bad side of myself

So I’ll wrestle it back down to hell

And oh, oh

I know it’s not polite to say how I feel

So I’ll bite my tongue and walk it off

And I’ll repeat

Whatever mantras I need

To stay alive

Try to make something

Of all the motions of you and me

I wanna be the ocean and make you think, fuck everything, you’re seventeen

And oh, oh

I found another bad side of myself

So I’ll wrestle it back down to hell

And oh, oh

I know it’s not polite to say how I feel

So I’ll bite my tongue and walk it off

And I could lay here

For the rest of my life

Alone on this couch, but would it be right?

Would I feel right?

And oh, oh

I found another bad side of myself

So I’ll wrestle it back down to hell

And oh, oh

I know it’s not polite to say how I feel

So I’ll bite my tongue and walk it off

Oh, I’ll bite my tongue and walk it off
