"Standards" lyrics
"Standards"
I woke at half past noon, it's overcast in mid-June
And I've got nothing to do but talk to the walls in my room
They're callous and they're cruel, they're closing in on me too
I put my phone down and light a cigarette, pray these walls burn down to give me a view
And we both know when you come home you'll call me up again
Just to piss off my mother and just to call me a friend
Oh, it's been several years or so since I've had you in my bed
Now you wake next to another, and I pretend not to care
I can't speak of romance
When they ask me what we had and I can't seem to understand
Why you would haunt me so casually
And you know that I've got standards but for you they don't matter
I'm swimmin' in the pool, the pool I used to meet you
Headfirst in my shoes, and the water's not as blue
Oh, now we both know I sleep alone, last night I dreamt of you again
I don't wanna be held by another, just so it can end
Yeah, it's been several years or so since I've been clear in the head
I can't confide in my mother, I can't confide in my friends
Yeah, I can't speak of romance
When they ask me what we had and I can't seem to understand
Why you would haunt me so casually
And you know that I've got standards but for you they don't matter
Now I'm wasted at your party, you're off with the girl who's not me
You can't tell her what we had, cuz wouldn't it drive her mad
So I wish that I never met you, cuz these affairs get so convoluted
But it's not that I regret it, I just wish I did things different

And I thought about leaving
People laying by the pool

If he knew what...

I could be all you need
I'll be coming down a one way street
Lay low
And hide away with me
I don't wanna give you up
