One Over Two

Summer boredom
Break my nerves
I’m trying much too hard
To only come this far, and
Late nights breaking
The days into
A momentary consciousness
Endless bouts with loneliness
Self absorption, at it’s highest peak
Inadequacies, so to speak
Or just a fixation on me The world keeps turning
And this, so often, remains news to me It wouldn’t hurt to see that
I take from all this madness
A hint I had mistreated you
And I know it’s not right at all
But I’d take one over two
The door is open
The opportunity
Stares in my eyes
So I apologize, and
Sit back down
Push it off for one more day
It’s back to me again
This can’t be where it ends, 'cause
Sirens ring, the streets outside are
Broken up by statues
Building up a past that never
Lived like we do And I’ll never achieve greatness
While I worship all this emptiness
But I take from all this madness
A hint I had mistreated you
And I know it’s not right at all
But I’d take one over two
I’m not trying
To hurt you
No, I’m not trying
To hurt you
Summer boredom
Break my nerves
I’m trying much too hard
To only come this far, and
Late nights breaking
The days into
A momentary consciousness
Endless bouts with loneliness
Self absorption, at it’s highest peak
Inadequacies, so to speak
Or just a fixation on me The world keeps turning
And this, so often, remains news to me It wouldn’t hurt to see that
I take from all this madness
A hint I had mistreated you
And I know it’s not right at all
But I’d take one over two
I’d take one over two
I’d take one over two
I’d take me over you
