Tim O'Heir - Two Letters lyrics

[Verse 1] I know, I know I should be better I think I am to some degree I can't explain why it gets harder The more people count on me Maybe it's all in my head And nothing's changed and I'm still in the basement With no tattoos or mortgage payments [Chorus] Well I'm not so good with tenses I'm tensing up thinking about What I'm supposed to call you now It takes a lot to shake me My body breaks to figure out How to leave the past behind When it surrounds all of the time And I don't know what I should call you now I don't know what I should call you now [Verse 2] I don't believe that anyone runs From their past so easily Unless they run towards someone else, and I've seen you lacing up for years I guess your future looks great Well good for you You're still my inspiration But less in tune and more abrasive [Chorus] Well I'm not so good with tenses I'm tensing up thinking about What I'm supposed to call you now It takes a lot to shake me My body breaks to figure out How to leave the past behind When it surrounds all of the time And I don't know what I should call you now I don't know what I should call you now [Bridge] "Ex" sounds dirty I can't say it Sounds so final, and I'm still praying For the words, for the better Nothing now, just two letters I hope you understand I'm not prepared to call you just a friend [Pre-Chorus] Well I'm not so good with tenses I'm tensing up thinking about What I'm supposed to call you now Well I'm not so good with tenses I'm tensing up thinking about What I'm supposed to call you now [Chorus] Well I'm not so good with tenses I'm tensing up thinking about What I'm supposed to call you now And It takes a lot to shake me My body breaks to figure out How to leave the past behind When it surrounds all of the time And I don't know what I should call you I don't know what I should call you I don't know what I should call you now
