I Have to Go Now (My Planet Needs Me)

Is it the way he says goodnight that's got you restless?

I don't swing much for the fences

But I can swing what's on your mind

Or string me along the road with your sweet indecision

If I'm not what you envision

You can take the parts you like

I'm not a practitioner of cool

Evidenced by my shit tattoos

But I swear they'll get better

I wanna get better

I gotta get better

But we both know that I can't stay

(Yeah who would wanna live here anyways?)

I'd like to think that I'm above it but it's not my place to say

I wish that I could keep your pace

(But I don't even text you on your birthday)

And lately I can't talk it out or walk it off like I know how

I got a haircut so I won't look too familiar

To the friends I once bewildered

With a misplaced sense of might

You know my face but not these apoplectic stripes

That I would wear with such dumb pride

But that doesn't make it right

And I couldn't fake it if I tried

Everything's blinding all the time

And I wanna get better

I'm not getting better

I'll never get better

Cuz we both know that I can't stay

(Yeah who would wanna live here anyways?)

I'd like to think that's I'm above it but it's not my place to say

I wish that I could keep your pace

(But I don't even text you on your birthday)

And lately I can't talk it out or walk it off like I know how

I keep a secret well

Not even I can tell

It recreates itself

It recreates itself

Every step just

Leads me back to where I began

Tearing down

every single bridge that I can

Cuz it's

never strong enough to withstand

My own design

When we die then

Everybody gets what they planned

Digging up

every single seed that we plant

Then we

wouldn't have to break up the band

Or talk it out

Can we stop time now?
