Oxide - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You only call when it fits you the best

And I don't think you are being honest with yourself

Oh, how I would love just to sit by your side

And be able to breathe as I point out your denial

Can't you see I would listen and answer your call?

Oh, if you could only pick up the phone and say

"Darling, I'm not okay

And I am sorry for mistakes that I've made

Can you come and see me one of these days?

And help me out the deep end where years have been lost in play"

We could be an oxide, solid in form

But we have been floating slowly, divided by so many storms

And I'm not going to carry the guilt anymore

For letting you know that your house is not my home

Darling, I'm not okay

And I am sorry for mistakes that I've made

Can you come and see me one of these days?

And help me out the deep end where years have been lost in play pretend

But then, biting away more than what I can chew

Guess I learned that from you, probably learned that from you

Now I'm biting the bullet for both our sakes

Too late to call it a day

I'll forever wait for you to say

"Darling, I'm not okay

And I am sorry for mistakes that I've made

Can you come and see me one of these days?

And help me out the deep end so one day I'll call you back and say"

"Darling, I am okay, and I am sorry for the times I've caused you pain

Now you're here to see me on this beautiful day

To help me out the deep end, now all of our years to come are saved"
