This is a song that I wrote while not paying attention in math class a couple of months ago. It's about someone I used to be best friends with.

I've never been thirsty

Ever since I drowned

Don't know how to swim

Since the current dragged me down

Swept up in the riptide

Guess I shoulda known 

That once you're underwater

There's no point in having lungs

Keep my feet down, planted

God knows I don't climb trees

Not since all these broken bones

stubbed toes and bloody knees

Trust I learned my lesson

You know that I believe

There's no good that'll come

from something I'll never need.

I don;t sit by the fire

Now that I've been burned

Don't dare to poke 

those wicked coals

ever since I learned

I keep my distance

stay away

I know better than to stay

stay and sit by the fire

watch the flames grow higher

douse it with the water

that I don't need.

Keep my feet down, planted

God knows I don't climb trees

Not since all these broken bones

stubbed toes and bloody knees

Trust I learned my lesson

You know that I believe

There's no good that'll come

from something I'll never need.

Outside, wind is blowing

lightning, thunder rolls.

boarded in the basement

no one else here

I'm alone

No one here to hold me tight

safely in their arms

but how long would that ever last

till they've up and left, and gone?

What point is there to hold you back

Why bother to believe?

Who could ever let you close to them

When all you ever do is leave?

I keep my feet down, planted

Hell knows I climbed that tree

Couldn't even walk home

with my bones and bloody knees

Why couldn't I learn my lesson?

Shot, I can't believe

I deluded myself

into longing for

the one thing

I didn't need
