about

"Imagine a fictional version of the me that wrote 'Aloneliness', then imagine someone making him leave the house more frequently and he's totally okay with it."

"You"; "Me".

lyrics

You've read more of the books on my shelf than I have.
You made more friends in my hometown than I ever had.
You're nice to me, I'm excited to see you're comfortable.
We're blossoming into an awesome thing we're untouchable.

You know all of my passwords by heart by now.
You've memorized the name of every street since you been in town.
You wake me up, you keep me up you're inexhaustible.
I hesitate to say anything is possible.

But that's how you make me feel.
I used to lack a sword, now I go out on my shield.
I didn't know what I had, but you brought it out.
I provide the chassis
you invent the wheel.

I've got the lamp over my head you flip the light switch.
I'll write the bass line, you sing the high pitch.
You cook for me and look for me when I'm hiding.
I sulk and I'm dull, you're exciting.

Put knives near sockets so you'll save me.
I sleep in late just to hear you call me lazy.
Hard to believe you're here, maybe I dreamed you up last year.
But if things are truly bleaker than they seem.
Then I'll go back to having that dream.

But that's how you make me feel.
I used to lack a sword, now I go out on my shield.
I didn't know what I had, but you brought it out.
I provide the chassis
you invent the wheel.
