not my words
"Textbook"
Falling over backwards for you
Falling over everybody else
I put myself in that position
Every single time I have the chance
I know it's not my business to be
Digging up these things I shouldn't know.
Twenty years of bad decisions
Haven't taught me much at all.
Seperate events you're making
Everyone pretends it's not your fault
And all of this offence you're taking
Doesn't really bother me at all.
Twist my arm, 'cause that's the way you think you'll work this whole thing out
You know you own my body, but don'tthink you control my mouth.
Having every question answered...is it going to help at all?
When you're not supposed to know...
You're not supposed to know anything.
Another textbook situation
Everything I think I know I've read
What's the point of medication?
It just makes me wish I were dead.
It's pretty clear that you are me;
It written here on every single page.
I'm spitting blood, not stupid
I can read it all over your face.
Having every question answered...is it gonna help at all?
Having every question answered doesn't help at all.
When you're not supposed to know...
When you're not supposed to know...anything.
You're not supposed to know anything.
"Worth the Wait"
If I had one traffic common sense
I would have already left
Don't ask how long I've been waiting here,
yea, you can probably guess.
Tracing the arc of the hour hand
This clock is incredibly slow
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know
'cause I've been hanging out
I've been counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on for way too long.
You always were worth
The wait though, I guess.
Measure the top of the bottle
And I've had more than a few
I'm standing up to get out of here
I'm standing up for myself now
And this is long overdue.
There ain't two ways about it
I can't keep letting this go
You ask how long I've been waiting here,
I think you already know.
'cause I've been hanging out
I've been counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on for way too long.
You always were worth
The wait though, I guess.
And the promises
I promise it
You know you're goinna break it
I've been holding on for way too long.
You always were worth
The wait though, I guess.
