See You Around
I need to open up a line
between my heart and my mind,
it'd be nice if they got along sometimes.
Instead of all this wondering,
about all these happenings,
maybe I'd do some real deciding.
The battle never settles down,
there's not enough room in this town,
and in the end it's just a mess of sounds.
I can't ask you to wait for me,
while I figure all of this out.
you're not to carry any blame
for these things I'm feeling now.
I can't bring myself to say goodbye,
so, I'll just say, "see you around."
I'm not the person I should be,
some places I grew crookedly,
and it's soon for someone to have me.
I know you'll say I lead you on,
a tease, I teased, and I was gone,
but I never expected this outcome.
Honesty's hard for me to wear,
but all this is honest I swear,
even if it might be hard for you to hear.
I can't ask you to wait for me,
while I figure all of this out.
you're not to carry any blame
for these things I'm feeling now.
I can't bring myself to say goodbye,
so, I'll just say, "see you around."
and this is not the way I planned it,
hands in your hair, your lips saying, "dammit."
I know that you do not understand it
but you'll be a man, and you'll accept it.
I can't ask you to wait for me,
while I figure all of this out.

for these things I'm feeling now.
