Loner Phase

They're calling you a genius
Is that why you're acting so competitive?
And even if they mean it
Don't let the feeling get to your head

I really wanna call you
Never cleaned up the mess from the last time we met
The roof is gonna fall through
I'll stay out in the cold all alone instead

If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and noting changed
But I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

The wine is in the basement
So why can't I hide away and hibernate
I'm sleeping for the moment
And we're so afraid of getting worse with age

If you think you can, reach out your hand
Like all is well and nothing changed
I went through hell to watch you in outer-space

And I'm so careful, I got out of the way
I'm so grateful, just to be, just to be able to say

Won't you give me distance
To swallow the words you put on my plate
And maybe then you'd listen
And I can get out of this one act play

You see me waving my white flag
You see me waving my white flag
Won't you ever wanna take me back
Won't you ever wanna take me back
