"Selfish" lyrics

"Selfish"

These sheets give me bad dreams and I'm laughing in my sleep
Told you I felt ten years old and I meant it
I call your name, write it on the sidewalk
Scratch out the page, where did I go wrong?

Seltzer can in the sand, made the day go by so slow
Didn't think that scratch was gonna scar
Collect your thoughts, stretched out on the shoreline
Hand to my heart, where did I go wrong?

I know that we go over and over it again
Don't be so selfish
And I know that it gets harder and harder to defend
Why can't I get this?

Piles of clothes, these days fill holes in the memory
Still got your high school yearbook quote in my head
Scratch off your shell, put it in my pocket
You never felt, where did I go wrong?
I can't remember

And I know that we go over and over it again
Don't be so selfish
And I know that it gets harder and harder to defend
Why can't I get this?

In my dreams, you're yelling at me and I'm laughing
A-ha, ha, ha-ha
Don't be so selfish
A-ha, ha, ha-ha
Don't be so selfish
A-ha, ha, ha-ha
Don't be so selfish
A-ha, ha, ha-ha
