[Intro]

The voice thing is- is cool

'Cause I guess, you-you know, you get everything out

You don't have to type forever

You hear your friends' voice


[Verse 1]

Well, it's been a long time since you left

I've been thinking quite a lot about the things that you said

We were sitting on the beach talking 'bout all your regrets

I'll admit I was relieved when you didn't say this was one

And I know I'm much too restless

Reel in all my expectations

Work on building up my patience

Too much, it's too much, too much


[Drop]

Is this progress? Are you happy?

Are you focusеd? I am pissed off

You said, "Why is that?" I hate that you asked

'Causе I haven't figured it out myself

And I'm standing in a boiling shower

Tryna slow my racing pulse

I try to breathe but I can't seem

To stop my trembling hands from shaking


[Verse 2]

And I know it's been a while since I broke

I've been thinking quite a lot about that time that we spoke

I was layin' in my bed face first in my phone

When you told me over text that you think you'd rather be alone

And I know I'm much too invested

Reel in my extensive second-guessing

Forget my regrets and finally go to sleep


[Bridge]

But I'm too fucking tired to get into bed

So I'm lying on the floor on the carpet instead

And I'm buried in my phone and the lives of my friends

I'm marinating in nostalgia

There were thirty-something people, a smoke-filled room

And I was dodging conversation while I stared at you

And you were caught up with your friends, but then you turned your head

And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away


[Refrain]

And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away

And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away (Is this progress?)

And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away, ay

And you smiled discretely, waved, then looked away


[Outro]

Okay
