Hollow Tide

You steal my fries and crack a joke

There goes the speech I wrote at home

Was so damn sure I'd make things clear

Now I'm just glad you want me here

I'm getting good at coming last

I talk real tough,

then take it back

One look and my plans fall through

Damn, I hate how I fold for you

All my friends have heard me say it: “Nah,

I'm better on my own”

Then you call about your bad day,

and I can't leave you alone

You say we should take a road trip; I say,

“Cool, let's pick a day”

Then you laugh and change the subject,

and I act like that's okay

Say it straight, don't dress it up I'm not made for “Close

enough” I keep saving you a seat while you keep looking round

the room

There's a hundred things I'd tell you,

but I just say,

“See you soon” You know my jokes,

you know my street But not the nights I couldn't sleep I

keep it light, I play it cool Pretend I don't have bad

days too I don't need gifts or some big plan Just ask

me how I really am Sit with me when I'm no fun

Don't make me be the easy one

Got my coat off your chair (my coat off your chair)

Took a breath on the stairs

(a breath on the stairs) I'm not gonna trash the good we

had, but I can't keep living on that Want you bad,

want you bad, but I want myself back

I'm done with always coming last This time I won't just take

it back One look,

yeah, I still want you

But wanting ain't a reason to Keep making less feel like enough

Keep calling every small thing love I'm halfway home,

still wanting you But I don't have to fold for you

Don't have to fold for you,

for you

Damn, I hate how I still want you

But I don't have to fold for you
