Lyrics
I used to wait for hours to see your name
Used to wait to see what it would bring me when it came to me
I used to stay up nights
I used to lose my head
I used to pace these floors,
I used to trace these walls,
I used to count these ceiling tiles,
No that's fine
I'll just stay here,
and you can pretend I'm somebody else
Someone more assured of themselves
And you can make me over
in the back of your mind
as convenient
and I'll make you convenient too.
I must not get you
if I can't get you out my head,
Words you said to me
ring in my mouth
in my ears
burn my hands
You can't be that happy,
Though you're smiling all your life,
You can't be that ripe with fruits that I don't understand.
No that's fine
I'll just stay here,
and you can pretend I'm somebody else
Someone more assured of themselves
And you can make me over
in the back of your mind
as convenient
and I'll make you convenient too.
I wasted two damn years getting under your tan,
and now you've gone and whisked yourself away again,
I'm not gonna lose it,
Gonna lose it,
And that's fine, I'll stay here
and you can pretend I'm somebody else
Someone more assured of themselves
And you can make me over
in the back of your mind
as convenient
and I'll make you convenient too.
