"September 9th" lyrics

"September 9th"

I got her picture on the bathroom mirror
That way she's always looking at me
I don't, but if I did I'd
Keep our conversations long and interesting
That's something I can't bring about it real life

I'm gonna stay lost for now, if she wants to find me
She probably won't, somebody has to remind me
She'll have her world to keep, and I'll be a fuck up
Singing cliched lines like they're cliched straight from me

I think she knows I'm always trying to get near her
Avoid eye contact like before, like I don't care anymore
Another shitty song, an unoriginal thought passed
But why should I try writing a unique one?

I'm gonna stay lost for now, if she wants to find me
She probably won't, somebody has to remind me
She makes me feel like shit without realizing it
And I can't seem to shake it off

If only I could choose the right words right enough
If only I could turn this outside feeling inside out
Just like the last song
Maybe I'll throw in a joke right here

Silent, honest, horrified
In the back of my head with my false pride
I'll stay here
With these forgettable words from a song that you'll never hear
