a talking to

all the things that I'd like to say to you, all the shit that's been buzzing through my head
has already been written
you know it's all already been said
so I don't have a clue at what to do without the cliches just pouring down
like coffee in my shoes or looking for your car downtown

so I'm asking you girl to woman
tit to tit
ear to ear
I just wanted to know,
what is it you wanted to hear
let's cut it short with your knotted princess hair
why don't you tell me where I should go
I'll always be better on my own

it's an easy thing to imitate a voice
but I'm coming up grown now
I wouldn't want to make that route my choice but you know, I don't think I'd know how
so I'll go where the pretty people walk all up and down the street
I'll make believe that I'm in love, they'll pretend that they don't notice me

and you know how much I hate it so when I start to take on your bad traits
just like forgetting to say please
just like forgetting to say thanks
you know, we don't even know each other well, I don't think we've spoken on the phone
but I'm getting used to it these days, I think I kind of like being alone

and by the way I'm so sorry for making your life so hard
every day that I've gotten in your way
just by reaching out so far
so why don't we just call this whole thing miss communication
and I'll move away and I'll hear from you through the goddamn radio station
