the chorusy part is ripped off from Death Cab for Cutie's "Sleep Spent"
lyrics
It’s the guilty feeling when youre on drugs
Its someone you barely know but you think youre in love
Its driving through a rainbow
When you leave san Francisco
Its violating strangers privacy staring into cars
It’s spending your paycheck mostly at bars
It’s pretending I can sing and foolishly playing guitar
It’s being able to see the moon but never any stars
And you only ask me questions
Just to be polite, just to be polite
You come in and out for something interesting
Just in case I might, no just a boring life
Just a waste of time
So drive away your mouth from my ears
And waste a day so I can think clearly
Its feeling like shit for every single opportunity missed
Because kissing you is still on my bucket list
Youre still at the age where you think the world can be saved
It’s thinking of songs to put on your mix
On top of countless little gifts
In hopes that things will then be fixed
And she asked why do you always bring me gifts
don’t get me wrong I love and appreciate it
Because giving time to someone is the greatest gift to give and you always share yours with me
So the least I could do is bring you things to make you happy
it’s wanting to act brave not so reserved not so cautious
I should have punched him in his mouth, I feel nautious
It’s having to argue all night I feel exauhsted
Its learning to say no, if you say so
It’s learning its learning its learning its learning its learning to let go
So drive away your mouth from my ears
And waste a day so I can think clearly
