The Desperate Act

You were right, babe
None of this means anything
There's so much more for us to be than seen

Somehow, all of the sudden
I find myself struggling
Two lives are too much and not enough

I concede this childish need for attention
It's the desperate act
Of a disappearing man
You better catch him while you can

What a mess
Past and present stitched together
Perilously tethered
I ain't fooling anyone
'Least of all, me

Calling in sick forever
And I'm calling bullshit on everyone
This is a test
And I'm failing it

You were right, babe
I love how you know me
I know how you love me
And I know how you long for this song's end
