My sister wishes it to be known that everyone does NOT like this song; in particular, she doesn't like it.

PS, that still IS my problem (an obsession with forever).

fumbling closer

everyone likes this song
everyone says that i don't care what everybody likes
but you're the exception, you know
confidence is a question i ask you late at night when i mean something else

when i was unmanageable, it was so easy to try and change
say nothing can touch me now, till i get better, till i get better, yeah

but everything will be different if i do it in a different name
'cause without the commitment, how could i possibly act the same?
'cause that was my problem: an obsession with forever
i worked my thoughts around 'till it all came down to love
and when i found something that wasn't on the blackboard, i just tried harder

and everything would come out to A + B = love and
it would be beautiful, i can get better, i can get better, i can maintain this just give me time

now i'm back on my feet and you're off of your game
and that used to be mine and i could be so good
now i'm back on my feet just enough to be scared
and i'm fumbling closer and so unprepared
and i thought the amnesia would always be there
and it's over my shoulder and nobody's there

and everything's beautiful, i know what i'm doing here so
why would the fear come back now? i was getting better, i was coming off it

now you're up the stairs and your key's in the lock
and the wolf disappears and it's electroshock
therapy i'm not quite sure i believe in
but it makes me feel better, and you're warm and i'm freezing

and everything's beautiful, i know, you know the truth
nothing's as simple as that but it can be simple
it can feel simple
it can be easy baby
