Lyrics
I am breathing through my nose
I am engaging in a normal bodily function.
Like you talk me to
I am adopting a manner of speaking that resembles your style.
But I hate listening to you
I dislike listening to you.
You’ve been right most of the time
You have been correct most of the time.
And there is a lot of me
There is a significant part of myself that you do not fulfill.
That you leave empty
There are aspects of me that remain unfulfilled by you.
But I knew this all along
I have been aware of this situation for a while.
I can’t reach you you are too far gone
I cannot connect with you because you are too distant.
Now there’s rain on the roof
Currently, there is rain on the roof.
Songs in my head
I have songs playing in my mind.
Hair on my pillow from when you slept in my bed
There are remnants of you on my pillow from when you slept in my bed.
I know you’re not it
I acknowledge that you are not the one for me.
But you’re something on the way
You are not the perfect match, but there is potential.
I really wish that you would stay
I genuinely wish you would stay despite the imperfections.
I’ll stop being timid and polite
I will stop being reserved and express my desires openly.
And tell you what I wanted to last night
I will communicate what I wanted to say last night.
Isn’t it a mystery how you mean so much to me
It's mysterious how much you mean to me.
I doubt I’ll ever know
I doubt I will fully understand the depth of this connection.
Now there’s rain on the roof
Rain on the roof persists.
Songs in my head
There are ongoing thoughts and melodies in my mind.
Hair on my pillow from when you slept in my bed
Your presence lingers on my pillow from our shared past.
I know you’re not it
Although you are not perfect, there is potential.
But you’re something on the way
I genuinely wish you would stay despite the imperfections.
I really wish that you would stay
I might become protective and anxious about your actions.
And I could get protective
I might feel the need to guard you.
Get a little nervous
I might become nervous about your choices.
That you’re doing things you shouldn’t do
Concerned that you might engage in inappropriate activities.
I’m not keeping track but I’d like to
I am not keeping a record, but I would like to.
I could try to keep you but that’s something
I could attempt to keep you close, but I choose not to.
I won’t do
I have decided not to try to keep you with me.
No more thunder in the sky
No more conflicts or disturbances in the atmosphere.
The light is coming down
The light is descending, indicating a change in the situation.
I get nervous when you’re around
I become uneasy when you are near.
You’ve been right
Reiterating that you have been correct most of the time.
Most of the time
Emphasizing your past accuracy.
Now there’s rain on the roof
Rain on the roof continues, and you are absent.
And you’re not here
You have left, leaving behind some loose change and a lingering beer smell.
You left change on the counter
I acknowledge that you are not the perfect match, but there is potential.
And the smell of beer
A reminder of your presence through the remnants of beer.
I know you’re not it
Despite your imperfections, I genuinely wish you would stay.
But you’re something on the way
Reiterating the desire for you to stay despite the imperfections.
I really wish that you would stay
Expressing the strong wish for you to remain.
I really wish that you would stay
Repeating the earnest desire for you to stay.
I really wish that you would stay
Reiterating the sincere wish for you to stay.
