THE FORMAT - Dogs Problems lyrics

Don't you dare

Speak for someone you don't know

They'll feel it in the back of their throat

We know I cant construct a poem

'Cause words like girls get bored and run

c'est la vie

I say "I've got so many better things"

I've got nothing

you should see me

I smoke myself to sleep

And blame postmodern things I cant relate

Like summer camp and coastal states

Like alcohol and coffee beans

Dance floors and magazines

I think its safe to say I've only got

myself to blame

But boys in swooping haircuts

are bringing me down

Taking pictures of themselves

oh no

“Boys in swooping haircuts you know who you are”

And so I walk the web in search of love

But always seem to end up stuck

I'm finding flaws in everyone.

I've reached the point where all I want

Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up

We are parallel lines

We're running in circles

We're never meant to cross

I'm at a loss

You were my tangerine

My pussycat, my trampoline

Now all's I get are wincing cheeks

And dog problems

I signed a lease

Thinking my heart belonged

at 93rd and park

Instead I broke a girls heart

And flew back to Phoenix

to finish the year as it started

Can you hear me?

Are you listening?

This is the sound of my heart breaking

And I hope it's entertaining

Cause for me

it's a bitch

Was it worth it?

When you slept with him?

Did you get it all out of your system?

I am a man

Holding it all

I couldn't breath

Coming across

I didn't know

I couldn't get up

B is for believing you'd always be here for me

E is for everything, even when we'd see it though

C, C is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to...

A because, because, you always run away

I never finish phrases I misspell

An open arm's a prison cell

When I said, "I hate what I've become"

I lied, I hated who I was

So when you start to wonder

about the pain in my throat,

Then don't you ever, no never ever

Speak for someone

You

don't

know
