(I Always End up) Fighting with the Pencil

You thought you saw your god on the fire escape

But you couldn't make out a face

And I know change that is hard

But I know that you're afraid

That things might stay the same

They can always stay the same

And if nothing fucking helps

I don't know why we're trying to

You're only happy between your honeymoons

Between your shitty moods

You keep telling us you're trying

C'mon fucker we're trying too

Look what all that trying's got us

The fuck's it done for you?

Well you should try listening to somebody that loves you

I'm just somebody who wants to

And you should try thinking about anybody but you

Cause everybody loves you

Everybody but you

You're still there, you're just not there

The lights are on, but only four

Whoever's in there flippin' switches

Back and forth from mad to bored

Yeah we know you're fuckin' fine man

We know what you were before

More than this

Deflated ego, empty head, messy floor

Who treats friendships and problems the same

Neglect them 'til they dissipate or blow up in your face

But if you just try thinking about

Anybody but you cause everybody loves you

Everybody but you

Everybody loves you

Everybody but you

Everybody loves you

Everybody but you

(Everybody, everybody)

Maybe in some distant future

I'll learn not to ask

Questions I don't want the answers to

Or maybe someday sooner

I'll wrap my head around the fact

That there's a way to change the answers

Before I even have to ask
