"Just For A Second" lyrics

I just wanted things to be simple
I just wanted life to be pure
I just wanna feel alright
I just wanna make things nice
And for a second I thought they were

I still cringe sometimes at the things I said as a kid
Why can't I forget when everybody else there did
I could teach a masterclass on how to be lonely
Tell me, if you pass the test, could you walk the stage and hold me?

Yeah, we've all got our own vices we want to break
Yeah, we've all got our own problems we want to shake

I just wanted things to be simple
I just wanted life to be pure
I just wanna feel alright
I just wanna make things nice
And for a second I thought they were

The lady up the street keeps telling me
That parking on the street is a felony
Well, I mean, I guess I always find myself in
Everyone else's way
But I think

Maybe she's lonely like me
Cause she's old, and I'm only 23
And maybe I remind her of a kid she used to mind
And she's using me to feel some kind of way inside herself
And that's fine

She's using me to feel some kind of way inside herself
And that's fine
She's using me to feel some kind of way inside herself
And that's fine

Yeah, we've all got our own vices we want to break
Yeah, we've all got our own problems we want to shake

Tomorrow winter will be gone
Tomorrow summer will be here
