Almost Always Better (Almost Always Worse)

I still think about what you said
I still hear it ring in my head
I'm counting the colors I haven’t bled
Warming the layers I haven’t shed

Recurring dreams of a place in time
Where I wake up and I'm feeling fine
Resurface the mental dichotomy
Of what’s ahead or in front of me

The face you make when I humor you
The space I take when I fill a room
Overstimulation, without hesitation
I'm running in circles around you

Guess I'll never win
Guess I'm a hypocrite
It came flooding in
I still wanted it

I still think about what you said
I still hear it ring in my head
I'm watching your colors in infrared
Playing you like a marionette
Again, again, again

Do you hear that?
That’s the sound of me minding my own damn business
Yeah, do you hear that?
That’s the sound of me taking my own advice

But I could take a rope and run it
Through the spaces in your mind and pull it tight
And I could weigh you down with all the
Asphalt pumping through my veins, only if you’d like

'Cause I like you, I really like you
So I'll spare you, I'll spare you the details
Again, again
