about

Another song that started off being about one thing but got spun into some sort of "love" story. I had the idea for this one while I was on a ski lift with my dad. Pretty nasty song about vandalizing someone's property so they'll pay attention to you. Never did anything like this, though I did once say something pretty insensitive knowing the person it was directed at was in the audience. Behavior like that has died with my desire to write songs like this. (9/12/21)

lyrics

As I sat there next to you
I couldn't help but think about
Just letting all of my feelings out
And though it was the last time
That I'd ever see you again
Coz after you'd be leaving then
You'd be gone forever
And I would probably miss you lots
Or have all of these crazy thoughts
Instead I sat there next to you
And didn't say a single fucking word

As I sat there next to you
I wanted to say something
But instead I just said nothing
And I regret it quite a bit
I wish that I had spoken
Or just kissed you, now I'm broken
I should've just stopped caring about you
Now I care way too much
So I love you way too much
And now it's time to say goodbye
I wish that I had never said hello

And as I watched you walk away
I said, "Well fuck you too!"
Though I knew it was me not you
And now instead of throwing rocks
To wake you up, I throw them
At your window 'til it's broken
And then I run away and hope
That you'll be running close behind
I look back, but I just can't find you
I'll guess I'll go home and hope
That later, you'll be throwing rocks at me
