"High Definition" lyrics

"High Definition"

I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song
I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on
I'll be home just thinking about it
Maybe call like I used to
But I'll just stay alone because alone is safer than with you

I like you inconveniently
You're squeezing out my dopamine
Yeah, you like me in spite of me
I feel these feelings quietly
You're cool but inconvenient
Now my energy's depleted
Take a seat, babe, if you need it
Like I do 'cause I'm defeated
Now I'm cancelled, I'm whatever
I'm the best thing that you'll never have
Now I'm lonely
Yeah, if only I could text you
But I'm holding out

I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song
I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on
I'll be home just thinking about it
Maybe call like I used to
But I'll just stay alone because alone is safer than with you

I know I'm not around enough to make me worth the wait
It's like who wants to be close with someone who always goes away?
And even when they're here it's like
"Where's your fucking head at?
Why's it take so long to text back?
You're so bad at loving people back."
So here's a plaque for your wall
For the Hall of Fame of fucking off
When things get weird
Because I can't handle that again
It's like that, yeah, it's like that

I'd love to be in love with you enough to write a love song
I need to feel needed and I need it more than I let on
I'll be home just thinking about it
Maybe call like I used to
But I'll just stay alone because alone is safer than with you
