Being Around - The Slaps

If I gave a second to a second thought

I’d watch my youth slip right through

My wide eyes

If I told you that I loved you

That would be a guarantee

That there’s nothing

Or no one else for me

Oh, I can’t be in charge of breaking hearts

That ain’t a job

Girl don’t you make a monster out of me

Oh, I’m trying, trying my best

To write the words into phrases

Phrases from all the phases

All for you

I’ll keep living

You can stay

I don’t mind the company, babe

Just know I ain’t old enough to say

That what I have is what’s ahead

Oh, you’re the one until I’m dead

I’ll kiss your lips

And I’ll bless your brain

I’m a jolly roger darling dodger bane

And we know my mind ain’t right

A late bloomer I took boomers

Trust in me is a cautious game

You ought not to play

And my heart ain’t in my chest

Stomach’s always a mess

I’m nervous, young

Always obsessed with something new

And soon all I’ll do is sit and whine and write to you

While you’re off wishing your thoughts far from me

Still I’m trying, trying my best

To write the words into phrases

Phrases from all the phases

All for you

I’ll keep living

You can stay

I don’t mind the company, babe

Just know I ain’t old enough to say

That what I have is what’s ahead

Oh, you’re the one until I’m dead

I’ll kiss your lips

I’ll bless your brain

I’m a jolly roger darling dodger bane
