Excuse me sir
Could I see that shirt in the window?
It’s been a real long week
It’s really speaking to me
I need it to forget that
He turned his back on me
Me and my endless need
Satisfaction guaranteed
I don’t know what I did
I don’t know what I said
All I know is that
Without him I’d rather be dead
“Please come back to me!”
I screamed at him in the street
But he turned his head
And Kept rhythm with his feet
Excuse me sir
I couldn't help but notice
You from across the bar
Is there something happening between us?
Maybe I could help you take
What it is you really see in me
Me and my endless need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Buy me another drink
Tell me another joke
I need to convince myself
Before you take off my coat
Then, take me to your place
Ignore the look on my face
But you’ve seen it a thousand times
You’ve already made up your mind

Oh no here we go again
I heard somebody throw something
I think they came home drunk tonight
Somebody’s looking for a fight
I wish there was something I could do
To keep these two from coming unglued
Then again it shouldn't be up to me
I wish that was something they could see
Oh no is someone coming up the stairs
I can’t show this time that I’m scared
I’ll just lie down and pretend to be asleep
Thank god I think it worked again
I can’t wait until I’m 18
That’s the day I can finally be free
I’m packing my bags I’m taking off
They can’t say a word to me legally
I better burn these pages in my journal
I can’t risk them finding out
Or I’ll just put these words in my pocket
I’m running away come August
“What’s this I found in your jeans?
Went through the washing machine
Hollow shells of their former selves?
We gave you everything.”

Bored eyes never told me a lie
Senseless times never settled right
Give me all you ever made
There’s no need for me to be saved
Elbow deep in a broken spoke
Take me off you digital notes
I know what you’ll never perceive
I know what it takes to leave
Give and give, but you could never take
What is yours with all the rules you've made
I know how we’re falling out tonight
I still love all your gentle lies
Pull me in until I’m gone again
Empty hands help me to begin
Perfect shapes move around in my mind
Concentrate, this is our last time

It’s funny to think
All I had to do was look inside for you
Oh I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this one
A familiar feeling
Tells me “come on now”
Just to hold on
But it’s not easy for me
I’m my own worst enemy
I know you've got enough
Enough is enough
Oh baby please
You’re too old to tease
Please just leave me alone
If you've got nothing left
Go on and bet
What do you have to lose?
Dusty old sidewalks
Rituals of forgetting have finally left me
There’s nothing for you here
Old busted windows
Empty cans of beer
I’ve got nickels and dimes
But I have no quarters for you to borrow
I saw you through a window
More times than you’ll know
Tripped on your laces
I scuffed up my face
Please just leave me alone
