Reality Check

Melodica
Why’d you take my melodica?!
Just an excuse to talk to ya
To you…
Or should I say uku-lately…
I’ve been thinking about
The way we laid beneath the stars without a doubt
And how it’s now become a lie that makes me wanna shout
That makes me wanna shout

We only had one date
And i was hoping it was fate
I guess that I’d forgotten nothing’s written in stone

Yet I long for second chances
and dream of far romances
Cuz all i ever wanted was your sweet warm hug…

And life is simple
You bust a pimple
And you
Leave a scar
Cuz life is hard!

Contradictions
They line the fictions
I’ve made in my mind
I’ve made up in time…

When I pretended I wasn’t waiting…
I pretended I wasn’t waiting for you

Instagram
How instantly my heart of 21 grams
Climbed out of the box in which it had been crammed
And danced around in circles like a happy clam

Oh the photograph
Your caption of her silhouette sure made me laugh
I'm sure that she’s a lovely girl and that you had a blast
But all that I can say is “I don’t know if love lasts”

Cuz times are always changing
now my breathing’s rearranging
The picture that you posted was a big exhale
(((exhale)))
Well it made me notice
that my love is like a lotus
Though it’s floating in the water it has got strong roots.

And life is simple
You bust a pimple
And you
Leave a scar
Cuz life is hard!

Contradictions
They line the fictions
I’ve made in my mind
I’ve made up in time…

When I pretended I wasn’t waiting…
I pretended I wasn’t waiting for you
When I pretended I wasn’t waiting…
I pretended I wasn’t waiting for you
