"Misheard Lyrics"
(feat. Nora Knight)

Everything you say is a bridge
Everything you do is water under it
These were not the original lyrics
Such a worthless waste of time to write about

Every bit of you that I don't love
Is filled up with my hate
I was a situation
That you were glad went away

Move move forward like a human being
Sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends
You probably looked like an idiot in that hat
Used to feel bad about crushing ants

(Why why why why why to die)
I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me
(Why why why why why to die)
I'm turning into the person that you were afraid I'd turn out to be

There is something in me that can only give
There is something in you that can only give out
When you hear my songs, do you get that feeling?
And if not, what the hell were you hearing?

I am not crazy, I am right
What do you mean? What are you saying to me?
I was just another bird you touched
Whose mother won't take him back

I'm sorry I misheard your lyrics
Tried to smile but it didn't show up in the photograph
I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to
All I wanted was sleep and you took it away

(Why why why why why to die)
Did you do something wrong, was there something you did that I could blame
(Yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate)
I thought I was open, I thought I was intimate, and then you asked me my name

By the time they send the lifeboats
I won't want to leave the island
Calling out to distant shorelines
Calling out for different bass lines

I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me
I'm turning into the person that you were afraid that I'd turn out to be
Did you do something wrong, was there something you did that I could blame
I thought I was open, I thought I was intimate, and then you asked me my name

Ooh, it was nothing special
Ooh, it was nothing sacred
Just hands held
And shoulders rubbed
And voices touched
In holy harmony
