If I woulda shut my mouth
You'd still be on this couch
We would be binge watching season 3 of Stranger Things by now
If I woulda seen your side
You'd be asleep by mine
Instead of me trying to stay calm
While the bombs going off in my mind
We've already said sorry
But the guilt has still got me thinking
I would kill to be
What you are for me
I'm ungracefully
Getting used to a man
A man who can handle me
I don't know why I'm this way
My mouth goes before my brain
It's like all the furniture fits
Just a bit needs to be rearranged
I keep saying sorry
You just opened arms up to me
I would kill to be
What you are for me
I'm ungracefully
Getting used to a man
A man who can handle me
I would kill to be
What you are to me
I'm ungracefully
Getting used to a man
Getting used to a man, oh
I would kill to be
What you are for me
I'm ungracefully
Getting used to a man
A man who can handle me

It was fateful timing
What a messed up state I was in
Only just surviving
Feeding on helpless hearts to feel good again
But you've got a heart made of gold
Just like the one that I'd pawned off
You've got a light that's colorful
Like one I'd burned out before
I never slipped no one a twenty
Never conned nobody
Never took the shortcut
Or picked a pocket
Or forced a hand to lose
So how the hell did I get you?
Well, I did some hiding
Only letting you see
What I could give for free
Til it hit like lightning
Baby, you were rich
Richer than I'd ever be
But you've got a heart made of gold
Just like the one that I'd pawned off
You've got a light that's colorful
Like one I'd burned out before
I never slipped no one a twenty
Never conned nobody
Never took the shortcut
Or picked a pocket
Or forced a hand to lose
So how the hell did I get you?
I know I don't deserve you, no
But somehow luck just came through
I never slipped no one a twenty
Never conned nobody
Never took the shortcut
Or picked a pocket
Or forced a hand to lose
I never held no one for ransom
Never begged for second chances
Never faked a fortune
Or cheated cupid
Or lied about the truth
So how the hell did I get you?

Put down the reins
Let go the wheel
The better you’ll feel
I’m in a daze
The traffic is real
And I’m not really here
I should let go
Of things I can’t control
They’ll eat me whole from the inside
Maybe if I
Give myself enough rope
I can hang on what I know
I know this fools gold doesn’t taste right
I can’t help myself
The table is set
Plenty to eat
I’m just hungry for a different seat
I’m in my head
But so is she
Both looking around for what we need
I should let go
Of things I can’t control
They’ll еat me whole from the insidе
Maybe if I
Give myself enough rope
I can hang on what I know
I know this fools gold doesn’t taste right
I can’t help myself

Expecting

My mom keeps telling me
She wants a baby
I’m pretty sure she means mine
I’m kinda terrified of being on the other side
Learning how to redefine
A sleepless night
My friends are moving fast
Some are on their second lap
Does that mean that I’m falling behind
There are boxes that I haven’t checked
Plans I haven’t finished yet
I’m afraid I might regret
Giving up my free time
Ooh, what does it mеan to be ready
Ooh, when has lifе ever been steady
Guess I’ll know when I know
And I won’t when I don’t
It’ll just be some quiet beginning
Someday when I’m least expecting
Maybe it’s grand design
That makes me feel out of line
By being upfront with my fear
Of trading in
Another round
For minivans and money down
I don’t know how to make it sound exciting
