lyrics

4AM and I'm starting to remember
my favorite melody
Lately I've been feeling older
in my shoulder
Do you have the remedy?
Keep it simple and there'll be no pain
that's my favorite lost refrain
Yeah I like to miss you
and I wanna kiss you
Just not every other day

I've been having trouble making the connection
Used to come so easily
Don't know where to put the moment
Where to go next
Like a cat stuck in a tree
Good is getting out of reach
Don't feel like coming out to play
I don't get the issue
I still wanna kiss you
Just not every goddamn day

Can't believe I'm late again
Don't know how this keeps on happening
Small infractions, big decisions
New disasters, old afflictions
I'm too far along to start this all again

Somehow I got stuck inside a bigger picture
Never thought I'd need a plan
As much as I hate letting go
I let so many things fall right through my hands
I hear you crying in my dreams but never find you
Guess it's better not to know
Can't say I miss you
Still wanna kiss you
Guess it's only natural

8AM and I told you I was coming
I don't promise everyone
Maybe I'm too superstitious
I can't finish
I don't know what happens when I'm done
What if I upset the balance?
Yeah I know, said I was certain
But I lied
They say it's not wrong
Did I wait too long?
'Cause it feels like someone died
