lyrics

I play the same chords over and over
I use the same strum that beats like a paper drum in my mind
I find that I neglect this six string
And feel like everyone already knows my melody

I can’t say this one is different
And not about some girl, she makes my heart beat faster
I wish that I weren’t an awkward disaster
Hiding behind an instrument
I never want to wonder where time alone with her went

I could sing about her pretty eyes, pretty face
But that’s every worn lyric in every album cover
I could say that I love her, want some more of her
But everybody knows how it goes
I’m the last thing in her head

I can’t say this one is different
And not about some girl, she makes my heart beat faster
I wish that I weren’t an awkward disaster
Hiding behind an instrument
I never want to wonder where time alone with her went

When I talk too much about myself or anything
Even when I don’t know what to say
I’m singing her name in my chest
The speakers tell me I’ll always be
Second best

I can't say this one is different, it's not different
I never want to wonder where time alone with her went
I’m wondering
