lyrics

I've been looking for an honest conversationist
But now I know that I'm the problem, or at least I'm half of it

Hey so maybe when I'm strung out, feeling lost
Pick a notepad up for once, and finally do what I've been saying
Finally write something honest that won't sound dumb
No more "whatever"s, time to finish open letters
Seems like every time I try
I get half a page, a couple lines, then call it a night
And don't look back, I start and end things just like that
And most of what I write is barely worth reading

I could never finish that
You asked, you asked, you asked
But we were six months out of context

I don't want to finish that
I don't care how much you ask
'Cause we're two years out of context
