about

No, this song is NOT about you.

lyrics

No this song isn’t about you
I’ve just been stuck on this little tune for
The past year or so
Anyways I thought I’d let you know
That I’m all grown up I’ve ironed out my issues
All it took was a candle and some tissues
And some food and some sex and some tears and voice effects and some weed and some coffee and some sun and some more weed

To enjoy this movie that’s stuck on the same spot
I’ve tried to fast forward but time has me caught
In a loop in a phase in a predetermined set of days
Rocking back and forth til I remember the way you look
And it doesn’t push me to tears
All it took was a year

No this song isn’t about you
It’s about this perfect person who reminded me of you
When we had the same haircut anyways
You’ve grown too I can’t help but notice
But the finer points are still out of focus
And I love you I do at least I know the sensation
There must be some song some spell some incantation

To go back retrace my steps exactly
Rewind to the time when I was always happy
By the beach by the lake there was never any wake
All trust no fall with everything at stake
Am I free?
When I’m still brimming with tears
Even after a year

No this song isn’t about you
I could understand why you might be confused
It’s perplexing to me
And there’s no apology
That could exonerate me I’m basically a lost cause
That is unless this song is giving you pause
I’ve spent each day stuck on the same replay
I can’t say I was deliberately led astray

That would be to accept no blame
Honey I’ve been lost and I know you feel the same
Not gonna slide not even gonna plan
When I find you again I’m taking your hand
In mine
No matter the time spent paying you back my dear
If it takes another year
