I got an ad on the internet For ceasing smoking cigarettes Isn't it fun how I'd forget you If fate allowed me to? I saw you bike past the other day Had you seen me, what would you say? Shriveled and broke, I swerved out the way Just like I always do It don't get better, we all grow numb Let's blame this on me being young Guess I'm no different, just another one You let me slip away I got an ad on the internet For ceasing smoking cigarettes Isn't it fun how you'll forget me In a month or two? Give it some time, time, time, time, time, time, time Give it some time, time, time, time, time, time, time Give it some time, time, time, time, time, time, time (how long will it take?)

Cats have nine lives I have two I live one for me And one for you If I can dissolve I do If I can dissolve I do Spare a crumb, I'll take it I said hold my hand, not break it I'm trying to say this all makes sense considering That I'm giving up again Yes, I'm giving up again Cats have nine lives, I have three I gave all to you, saved none for me It's true, it's true Screw the timeline, I lost track Was it really me who had my bags all packed up first? Guess I'm giving up again Yes, I'm giving up again Yes, I'm giving up again Yes, I'm giving up again I can't be this miserable, and then swеar to God I'm fine I don't think I fell too hard, got this injured in thе climb I got injured in the climb I got injured on the climb Cats have nine lives I have two I live one for me, And one for you If I can dissolve I do If I can dissolve I do If I can dissolve I do If I can dissolve I do If I can dissolve I do

Guess I quit smoking In time for something else I'm trading bad habits Like books on library shelves Now loneliness finds me In some better health But habits are habits And my bad habits held Guess I quit smoking In time to meet you By swapping my poison My bodies subdued But how can I ever Maintain that I've quit When all that I've swapped out's The flame I burn with Thought I quit smoking I guess that I was wrong These people I cling to Don't cling to me long Next time I'm found In need of a fix I'll stick to the poison I know's a good fit

These days I've been lying about my age Pretending I am older, worser, people stay away Lately, I've been coming on too strong To men, I've never seen before and won't see me for long And I, I don't think I've changed No, and I'm too scared to stay the same So my carpets got crop circles My carpets got crop circles these days All these words of mine I've said before I'm running out of things to say, silence I can't endure Every time I think I'm done But yet, another crop of memories, it springs up in my head And I, I don't think I've changed No, and I'm too scared to stay the same So my carpets got crop circles My carpets got crop circles these days And I, I don't think I've changed No, and I'm too scared to stay the same So my carpets got crop circles My carpets got crop circles these days Here I am, I'm crying out for change Here I am, I'm crying out for change And I, I don't think I've changed And I, I don't think I've changed And I, I don't think I've changed And I, I don't think I've changed I don't think I've changed

Baby, if I can even call you that You know I'm struggling to remember I mean I'm struggling to forget Lately I've been so caught inside my head I swear I haven't lived in weeks Been daydreaming instead I missed a call again I miss my family, friends I miss just waking up alone, not missing anything And now he's gone again Stuck on my phone again Just waiting on someone who's not waiting on someone I'd bet money his memory is hazed It's not too out of character, we paved the path that way I'm missing full night's sleep I'm missing meals, no drinks I miss believing words are said, words that are said to me And now he's gone again Stuck on my phone again Just waiting on someone I'm not waiting on no one I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back Take back And while I hope that my pictures on his shelf when I get home I don't want to see nobody else I wanna hold me accountable for things I did myself Don't wanna see nobody else I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back Take back I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back some of my time I'm gonna take back Take back
