How could anybody ever know me like you

How could anybody do the things you do

Cuz the world gets scary, yeah the world gets tough

And one day I don’t know if I’ll be enough

How could anybody ever know me like you

How could anybody say the things you say

How could anybody make me feel okay

Like when I was crying to you sitting in the parking lot

You told me I was special when I know I’m not, yeah

How could anybody say the things you say

Oh my god, I’m falling for you

All over again

I’m just writing you a love song

It’s not the first but it’s a good one

You got me shaking like a heart attack

Cuz how could anybody ever know me like that

I’m not good with my emotions

They toss and turn like the oceans

I just wanna tell you that you’re all I have

And how could anybody ever know me like that, yeah

How could anybody see the things we’ve seen

Travel the world from California to Chamonix

Oh we wandered those streets and we drank some wine

We cooked up our dinner on the mountainside, yeah

How could anybody see the things we’ve seen

Oh my god, I’m falling for you

All over again

I’m just writing you a love song

It’s not the first but it’s a good one

You got me shaking like a heart attack

Cuz how could anybody ever know me like that

I’m not good with my emotions

They toss and turn like the oceans

I just wanna tell you that you’re all I have

And how could anybody ever know me like that, yeah

What can I say

What can I do

I’m lying awake

With you

The silence is thick

And deafening too

Can’t say what we think

Can’t speak the truth

Ooh

We suffocate and squeeze too hard

Oh our anaconda hearts

What can I say

When we’re wrapped in the sheets

We’re like this for days

Maybe weeks

Like a shout in the night

Like cigarette smoke

You know it doesn’t feel right

To breathe in and choke

Ooh

We suffocate and squeeze too hard

Oh our anaconda hearts

What can I say

Cuz try as we might

When one of us backs away

The other holds too tight

We suffocate and squeeze too hard

Oh our anaconda hearts

Maybe I should let you go

I know I know I know I know

I’m driving way up north

Don’t know when I’ll be back

My mind is back and forth

And my heart is way off track

Right now

Ooh

We woke up early morning

On the day I said I’d leave

But my tire was flat – a warning, maybe

Or maybe just a wait and see

Right now

Ooh

And you say you wanna talk things out

But you know that I’m a selfish fuck

And no song that I write will be enough

What do I do to stop you crying

Cuz you know you gave me all the best times of my life

Please believe me, oh I’m trying

But I’m never gonna be the good guy

In my eyes

I’m never gonna be the good guy, oh

I drink myself to sleep

Well it’s the only thing that works

And I broke my arm last week, ooh

But it’s a different kind of hurt

Well, you know it is

Ooh

And you say you wanna talk things out

But you know that I’m a selfish fuck

And no song that I write will be enough

What do I do to stop you crying

Cuz you know you gave me all the best times of my life

Please believe me, oh I’m trying

But I’m never gonna be the good guy

In my eyes

I’m never gonna be the good guy, oh

Well

Hmm never gonna be the good guy

Oh

I left in a hurry

You went home to Missouri

Took the summer off to figure it out

So I built a couple chairs

And I bleached my hair

I guess I’m really just a dumb blonde now

I’m self-destructive, I know

But that’s the way that it goes

When every night you’re stuck in front of a screen

So I tried cutting out beer

As if somehow that would cheer me up

But I still can’t quit the nicotine

Well is it pain

The reason I knock myself out every night

Is it shame

The reason I can’t make love cuz it don’t feel right

Am I insane

For pushing away the only girl who ever had my back

Well I don’t wanna think about that no

Well last night I had a dream

Where it was just you and me

And I was playing you a song that I wrote

You said I don’t like that one

And I don’t like what you’ve become

Cuz every sentimental line is a joke

You know the funny thing was

I woke up crying and not because

I suddenly could see through the noise

It’s more pathetic, you see

Cuz in complete honesty

Don’t know the last time that I heard your voice

Well is it pain

The reason I knock myself out every night

Is it shame

The reason I can’t make love cuz it don’t feel right

Am I insane

For pushing away the only girl who ever had my back

Well I don’t wanna think about that no

I’m just a leaf on the water

I lose myself in the stream

I have nobody to blame but me

Well is it pain

The reason I knock myself out every night

Is it shame

The reason I can’t make love cuz it don’t feel right

Am I insane

For pushing away the only girl who ever had my back

Well I don’t wanna think about that no

I don’t wanna think about that

I don’t wanna think about that no

The TV’s on

Another rerun, can’t fall asleep

Coffee cup

I gotta stay up cuz I can’t dream of you anymore

It’s hard enough

Are you getting drunk with your friends in that brand new city of yours

Well who’s keeping score

I don’t wanna go outside tonight

I’m staying in and killing a liter

Well I don’t have to be alright

I’m fine kicking back and taking a breather

You’re out of state, we lost the game

And I’m just standing here in the bleachers

And I’m not coming down

Cuz I’m not happy now

Either

I miss your touch

I’ve been thinking too much about where you’ve been

Last time we talked

You told me I would never find love if I don’t let anyone in

It’s hard enough

Cuz I just wanna be loved, oh I wanna be loved again

But I know how it ends

I don’t wanna go outside tonight

I’m staying in and killing a liter

Well I don’t have to be alright

I’m fine kicking back and taking a breather

You’re out of state, we lost the game

And I’m just standing here in the bleachers

And I’m not coming down

Cuz I’m not happy now

Either

Oh

So are you gonna go outside tonight

With someone who would never deceive you

Well you don’t have to be alright

But if you said you were fine then I would try to believe you

You’re out of state, we lost the game

But I’m still stuck here alone in the bleachers

And I’m not coming down

Well are you happy now

Cuz I’m not happy now

Either

If I could travel in time

Then maybe I’d remember why

I thought that I deserved to be alone

But it’s too lonely tonight

Close my eyes and lean in

I’m halfway through this bottle of gin

Can’t tell if that’s you when the room starts to spin

Spin cycle again

I’m talking to your voice in my head

Tell me you don’t want me ending up dead

But if I ever find you again

Could you love me like you did back then

Who am I kidding

Oh

I’m talking to your voice in my head

Tell me you don’t want me ending up dead

But if I ever find you again

Could you love me like you did back then

You shouldn’t love me like you did back then

Why would you love me like you did back then

Who am I kidding

Cuz how could anybody
