I wanted to be able to say,
“I’m doing so much better than the last time that you saw me.
I go to sleep by ten, sometimes later on the weekend.
And I feel so connected to everything and everyone. It’s exhilarating.”
But that would be a lie. I’m doing a little better. But I’m just not that guy.
It’s tough being around you because you knew me back when.
Back when I was funnier and brighter, not just bummed out and tired.
These expectations are killing me.
Like I’m supposed to be someone I wish I could be.
I’m not quite better but I’m getting there.
And in a quiet moment, I find I kind of like myself.
And some days the anger returns and I have to find a reason to smile.
Because you’re only as stable as your last breakdown.
And I don’t think I’m able to understand the world right now.
I’m not quite better but I’m getting there.
I’m not quite better yet.
Found this album at a time I was in the habit of having a bad dream about you and me. It's great, the song's great, the band's great, corn dogs are probably mid at best. vincentavatar
