Little Things

Been losing touch with an old friend of mine
Saw him back the other day... scarred me real good
Made me hate you, too, for bringing him back here to me

It's not you it's really me
I've been looking in the mirror and if there's one thing I've learned
you can never trust those things
and I'm tired of seeing other guys girlfriends for them

When I was thirteen I lit a van on fire
My dad came running down the stairs, said
How could you be so dumb?"
and I couldn't understand how the thought occured to me with chemicals on the shelf
3 feet away

When you find what's right it won't be a game, it will feel like everything you've had before was just practice;
It will feel like this person controls the moon for you. It will be better than perfect but not too good to be true

and believe me, it will come a time when you least expect it
and really don't want it
but you just can't get away, no matter how much you think it's not the right time, it is, and they are, and it happens.

I don't want to be human. I want to be invincible. And I want it to be okay to let emotion carry me away.
I feel sorry for the girl that knew the boy i used to be.

I want to be with somoene who wants to be with me.
You're looking for someone to look good with
and that would never do.
