Paying Attention Lyrics

Paying attention to all of the thoughts in my head

I told you I think that they're making me dead

Now I'm breathing out

Looking at all of the trees outside

Thinking about all the silver cars parked behind mine

Because they're gonna get towed this time

Then I'm left on the street

Waiting to get in my car at 10:15

But there's someone in front of me

They left me a note

Telling me to get out of their driveway

I tried not to let this ruin my day

But sometimes I cry so easily

There's too many people unhappy

Including me

Enough of that crap sweet little baby

Remember when we swam in the storm

My two legs wrapped around the yours

I guess I'm not alone

You told me to cherish the time on my own

Can't say that this will be any good

I've only just started to look outside

It's been hurting not to speak my authentic mind

But now I'm paying attention

I see you now

Being with you feels so freeing

I think the white skirt that I wore

The first time you saw me it,

Held some meaning

No, maybe I shouldn't have told you that

That feels a little too vulnerable, I can't

But I think, I want you to know

Everything about me

But do I know myself

I've been trying to figure it out

I don't hate myself

I've just been empty for a while

I guess you're not supposed to define yourself

By what you do or say

I know I've changed anyway

But maybe that's how I'll find myself

As I fall deep in your eyes

I don't mean to pry

But I love you and you're making me melt

Your arms holding me

Is nothing like I've felt, before

And I know we're just over the phone

But I can feel the warmth from your smile

You make me laugh like no one else

And I just wanna talk to you all the time

Don't worry, I'm getting happy in my own right

I do really love myself

I just needed to pay attention

That's right, just pay attention

That's right, just pay attention

Baby
