Do It Yourself!

lyrics

If I can think of something I’d like, on my brand new twenty one year old skin
For the rest of my life, by the time that my drunken, dumb, best friend’s done
Tying a needle to a pen, I’ve got about 30 seconds left
To pick a drawing from the notebook at the foot of her bed.

Yeah it’s a wooden floor type of, linoleum type of drunk
And my head's too full of stars to stand up.

Now we’re sitting cross-legged, on your kitchen floor with a record on
By a shitty local band, but they’ve never sounded this grand
And then you flash a smile at me, and self deprecatingly
You ask me what hair colour you should change to this week

And then you ask me quietly, if I might like to stay
And I say "yeah of course!",
I make harder decisions every single day.


You’ve got some on your hips, and even more on your wrists
And I wanted to get a dog, but you said that was too ambitious
But it’s the length of the silences, and the look in your eyes
That makes me hope you might kiss me against your roommate’s wall while your friends are outside

Or maybe I'll work out a better way to say how I feel
And turn this into something real,
Than just staying quiet and hoping you’ll speak up.

If there’s a will there is a way
If there’s a pill that I can take
To make it easier to say
It doesn’t matter anyway

Yeah it’s a wooden floor type of, linoleum type of drunk
And my head's too full of stars to stand up
