"Edit Me" lyrics

I wanna say words
But what I say hurts
Gets lost in my mouth and I hate it

It stresses me out
To say it outloud
Let me run away and forget this

I want a back seat
Wall behind me
Order just to tip the waiter but not eat

I'm only here cause
It's what everyone does
It's too loud and bright to be friendly

And I will flinch with pain but pretend it's okay
Because I'm sensitive to the everyday
I'm not the humankind they like to advertise
But when I'm with you I know it can be alright

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too much for the world
So don't leave me on my own

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't

I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't

Don't need no liquor
Cause I'm not inhibited
I say everything that I just told my therapist

All that small talk
Goes over my head
I'll make every topic deeper than a heart attack

People walk with swagger
Like they're billionaires
I'm a deer caught in headlights with a Mr. Bean stare

Shaking those hands
I'm a cardboard man
Thinking 'bout how to leave like a math exam

And I'm lost in space just trying to grab on
I need a melody but all my notes play at once
I'm speaking Shakespeare and it's sounding like mush
But when I'm with you I don't worry as much

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too much for the world
So don't leave me on my own

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't

I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't

They got their Gucci, their Rolex and their Visa Black
I've got Wet Ones and Ear Plugs in a fanny pack
I'm just standing aside making notes in my mind
Some runaway amino acids on kinetic sunshine

They go "Hey Tay! You okay? You look off in space!"
I say "I'm doing great. I'm standing here. I'm counting the plates
And what composite they're made of. It's replacement rate
And how the operating cost would change if shifting to clay"
They go "That's great! I'ma get a drink over there!"
I go "But don't you wonder why the wallpaper is flared?
Cause if I ask about you then you don't tell the truth
So why does anybody socialize if everything's moot?"

Because nobody knows what they're doing out here
Nobody has a clue
They see stuff to copy
Then they get sloppy
And they make up the rules

We don't remember yesterday
We don't know who we are
We cuss at the sunrise
Rip off our fake lives
And try to guess the scars

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too much for the world
So don't leave me on my own

Everywhere I go I need you there to
Edit me, edit me
Edit me, edit me
I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't

I'm too weird to fit in
So please, be what I can't
