"Everything As I Knew It" lyrics

I let you in and you took everything as I knew it
And you wore out my name 'cause you swore I was going to lose it

Still, if I had the choice I would take out my voice from the music
So when days feel the same I can paint on a face for amusement

Well, you marked up my walls, told me that I looked small at the waistline
You said what's your excuse, I took up too much room for the first time

I've got too much on my plate
I haven't eaten in days
But I feel fine
I'm just worried and wondering why

If you notice me limping
Well, would you still take me in?
Like baby teeth nibbling
Falling out when they break your skin
How many blocks make a building?
How many times 'til it's effortless?
But who am I kidding
When my wit's not so quick?

Well, it pours when it rains
You were left out all day, you were shaking
And you're making your mark pushing everything hard on the pavement

Well, I let you in and you took everything just to take it (Just to take it)
And you wore out my name because you know how I ache when you say it, oh
Yeah, you know how I ache when you say it, oh
