lyrics

(HT)
(Chorus)
All I really wanted was to tell you
I'm in love with what we're doin.
But I don't know if it's true.
Some days I don't know if I can function.
We're in public,
and I don't know what to do.
All I really wanted was to tell you
that we love it when you show up
to the shows that we do.
Some days I don't know if I can function.
We're in public,
call us Dug & Happy Tooth.

(D)
I tell them awesome when they
ask me how I'm doing.
But I can tell I lost em
when they see me staring through them.
The persona that I've cultivated,
don't know what he's proving,
that lies and isolation are just part of being human.
But I answered all my own questions
when I stopped asking.
I got more important things
to think about then if I'm not happy.
Tired of squinting at the bright days
that are in store.
Sorry if I look shady wearing sunglasses indoors.
So you can't tell that I've been checking for the exit signs.
Feeling less and less alive,
even when I testify on why.
Could you please hold?
Til I make it less embarassing?
I'll edit out the terror,
and leave in all the heresy.
The signs that I need therapy
on beats could be your therapy.
Or you could join me,
watching at a distance,
sorta scared of me.
Hello,
I'm a garbage mound,
even when you aren't around.
I really don't know how I wound up
in the part of town but uh,

(Chorus)

(HT)

I'm misdirected energy,
Mr. Manic Comedy.
But I'll still love you,
probably even when you're a drama queen.
I kinda live methodically.
Some days, say chaotically.
To-do list is excuses to make,
awkwardly stopping me.
Not sure what year it is,
but I'm 28.
Got a blurred experience,
and a funny face.
And I won't run away,
but I might reconsider.
I don' t need to see the picture.
All these people seem to whisper.
They'll hate you til your finally dead,
like we've said,
then ask why you're not smiling yet.
In public so let's all act alright.
Even though we're sad inside and half alive.
I don't like large crowds or grocery stores.
My heart pounds like it's been broken before.
I'm really really good at acting normal.
I'm at your door, but I lack the doorbell.
Why open up when the comfort's (in)security?
No one wants an emergency,
or to converse with me.
And I'd be lying if I said
I understood the etiquette.
Sorry is the sentiment.
I can't say I regretted it,
but....

(Chorus) x2
