Lyrics: Lane Mercer
Music: Lane Mercer
Do you look at me like I'm the last thing you'd ever wanna do to yourself or your time?
I threw out a lead, is there no beauty in trying not to break before the end of the line?
I'm still finding out how to be a little more copacetic, or just a little less apprehensive
Oh, why do you still look at me?
Do you tell yourself I'm pathetic?
Would you say it out loud, would you say it out loud?
I get, I get that I should've been around some more
I could've been around, but I don't think it matters now
I promise I already know, it sucks to be a stepping stone
Got me gearing up something fierce
I won't keep you on your feet for my peace
I don't mind being a little bit hyperaware
But I hate the thrill of it
And I should've been around some more, it sucks to be a stepping stone
I see in both eyes, it's a long night
Get in the way or get yourself back up, I know
It's a bold lie, well, roll tide
Get me to stay or bring yourself straight home
Oh, no, I can't read time between lines
I gotta pack it up fast but it's hard for me now
It's hard for me now
But I could swear up and down that I got what I wanted
Don't talk, just flaunt, what's the point being honest
My god, I know I can't string you along
And my god, I know it's a nail in the coffin
But it's all I can do not to sever the promise
All talk, half gone and it's hard for me now
It's hard for me now
But I get that I should've been around some more
I could've been around, but I don't think it matters now
I promise I already know, it sucks to be a stepping stone
Got me gearing up something fierce
I won't keep you on your feet for my peace
I don't mind being a little bit hyperaware
But I hate the thrill of it
And I should've been around some more, it sucks to be a stepping stone
But I don't think you understand how quickly it came and went, came and went
And I don't need you to pretend you couldn't have known it'd end, known it'd end
But I should've been around some more
I could've been around, but I don't think it matters now
I promise I already know, it sucks to be a stepping stone
Got me gearing up something fierce
I won't keep you on your feet for my peace
I don't mind being a little bit hyperaware
But I hate the thrill of it now
(And I should've been around some more, it sucks to be a stepping stone)
