Thumbs

I won’t sleep tonight

It’s been this way for weeks I

Think I’m losing all my marbles

Trying to sleep alone in these old sheets

You were a flash in the pan

I’ll never understand the way it went

Or why I came and left

I should’ve changed all my plans for you

I shoulda just stuck around and ditched a month of school

Who in their right mind

Would color outside the lines

I think I wasted my youthtime

Not making you mine, mine

I invented time travel

I don’t know how

But I’m back here now

Worrying about my skin again, a-

-fraid: to call you up,

That you won’t fall back in

I should’ve changed all my plans for you

We should’ve gotten outta dodge the second we got introduced

Who in their right mind (am I ever gonna feel it again?)

Would color outside the lines (are you just gonna live in my head?)

I think I wasted my youthtime

Not making you mine, mine

The carousel still spins

Giving life to an unliving thing

I don’t know what to do with myself almost all of the time

I’m split between the urge to rush ahead and waiting in line

I spend three days in a new place and want to start a new life

Oh I’m all thumbs, here it comes, a finger at a time

I’m all thumbs, but here it comes, a finger at a time
