about

This song is about figuring out if you have feelings or just anxieties.

lyrics

We can take our time, as much as you need
I’ll be there waiting, aerating that space with silence.
Crank up the range on the milage; I don’t care.
Just give me more to read.

And if it’s gone, give me a sign.
“No” will never bother me, but not knowing might.
No cracking heartbreak inside or love to bleed.
Just give me more time.

Push the waste aside and get over it.
There’s no place for pride, if I only tried you’d try again
So for this to end, let me know when and I am there.
Maybe you’ll go with it.

‘Cause I’ve been working on securing the eviction notice
And if I could talk with conviction then I think I’d solve it.
I wouldn’t think about you if I knew what to think about you
or maybe I still would.

And over time I learned your name.
But the first quarter is sort of all I really use,
so if I’m confusing you or I start losing you
then I’m over the games.

‘Cause maybe you’re just hard for me to read.
I check your eyes to summarize, but it’s a language I don’t speak.
So I’ll be patient for a translation
or you can spoil it for me.

‘Cause I’ve been working on securing the eviction notice
And if I could talk with conviction then I think I’d solve it.
I wouldn’t think about you if I knew what to think about you
or maybe I still would.
