We’re trying to please everyone
All the fathers and all their sons
I lie awake at 2AM
Your sundial wristwatch in hand
And it says
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, You don’t show
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, but I want to know
You don’t show, you don’t show
I know that I’m wrong in this scenario
You see me grasping
I know that I’m wrong in this scenario
That’s why I’m asking
I left a drink out on the countertop for after
With garnishes, ice in the glass for when you’re back here
And I’ve been trying to think of everyone, but I don’t know why
When there’s dust inside your looking glass, there’s still crystals in your eyes
And you said
You’ve been trying to please everyone
Your friends of friends, and now I’m done
I can’t get up, it’s 3PM
I’ve been half your love, and I’ve been half your friend
And they say
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, if you don’t show
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, then I don’t want to know
If you don’t show, if you don’t show
