"Person Place Thing" lyrics

I'd like to think that I've changed
All my songs don't sound the same
That getting over you could go unnoticed
I know that we weren't in love
But I listen to myself too much
It's almost like the truth is sugarcoated

And I don't care if it's generic, give me somethin' different
I'm tired of rhymin' with your name, I should give me a break

'Cause any other person, place, or thing
Would be about twice as interesting
Be honest with me
Did you think I'd waste another verse or a chorus?
I've been there, done that
I'm bored with rosie memories
Glossin' over my anxiety
Don't even care if it's true
Give me a person, place, or thing that's not you

Well, I did it again, but it doesn't count
We never dated, so it doesn't count
Now all I wanna do is change the subject
So I bit my tongue and cut you off
Skipped it when your song came on
The only thing that's left of us is subtext

And I don't care if it's generic, give me somethin' different
I'm tired of rhymin' with your name, I should give me a break

'Cause any other person, place, or thing
Would be about twice as interesting
Be honest with me
Did you think I'd waste another verse or a chorus?
I've been there, done that
I'm bored with rosie memories
Glossin' over my anxiety
Don't even care if it's true
Give me a person, place, or thing that's not you

I don't care, I don't care if it's true
It's not you, it's not you, not you

You suck the life out of songwritin' (You suck the life out of songwritin')
I'm out of ways to describe it (I'm out)

And I'll take any other person, place, or thing
That'd be about twice as interesting
Be honest with me
Did you think I'd waste another verse or a chorus?
Been there, done that
I'm bored with rosie memories
Glossin' over my anxiety
Don't even care if it's true
Give me a person, place, or thing that's not you

Person, place, or thing
Person, place, or thing
Don't even care if it's true
Give me a person, place, or thing that's not you
