"The Fence" lyrics

It's funny, so funny how I got here
Have I just sat by the wayside
For 22 years?

It's really not easy waying the worse sides
Of everything, I've tried
Letting someone in, I cried

I would've rather been friends
Than hung up on him for months
I want someone to make sense
Check all the boxes I built up
So I could fall in love again

I know all the clichés
I know all the heartbreak
That comes with missing all the shots you don't take

I've heard every phrase
Dominoes fall either way
I want the kind of love to make a dent
I can't go my whole life
Waiting for something else I'll regret
Staying on the fence

I get upset when I'm feeling anxious
Thinking all I'm good for is
Just keeping the peace
I don't say anything
I'm a hypocrite, have you noticed

If their grass is green, I'd rather mine be pink
But when's the last time I watered it?

Yeah I know all the clichés (I know)
I know all the heartbreak (I know)
That comes with missing all the shots you don't take (Shots you don't take)

I've heard every phrase
Dominoes fall either way (Don't take)
I want the kind of love to make a dent (Long time)
I can't go my whole life
Waiting for something else I'll regret (Don't wanna wait)
Staying on the fence (Don't wanna stay)
Staying on the fence

I want the kind of love to make a dent
Can't go my whole life
On the fence
