life as the 9th Lyrics

Three generations

Of love in a room

I have no patience

For waiting on you

I'm back to December

Alone yet again

The time of the season

Where I'm only a friend

I always say I enjoy being

Solitary

But please someone just look at me like I'm

Extraordinary

I'll laugh it off and jokingly say

"Gosh I'm so lonely"

But behind the curtain I just wanna be someone's

Only

I guess I can live

I've done it this long

Life as the 9th

Is dragging along

I guess I'm lucky

I'm learning patience

I've wanted love early

I should be gracious

But I've gotta love myself

Before I meet you

But still that won't help

Love's abiding pursuit

You're taking compatibility tests 


In front of me

While I'm writing this song in front of you

In self-made debris

But you'll laugh it off and say

"You'll find someone, trust he's out there"

But to me that just means you'll leave it there

And that you don't care

In these dumb conversations

I'm taking up room

I'm self indulgent

Or so you presume

You're one in a pair

I wonder what that's like

Someone knows you're there

And they'll know you for life

And you're someone's only

As I watch from the sidelines

You're extraordinary

And I wallow in confines

Made by myself

I always say I enjoy being

Solitary

But please someone just look at me like I'm

Extraordinary

I'll laugh it off and jokingly say

"I'm so lonely"

But behind the curtain I just wanna be someone's

Only

I guess I can live

I've done it this long

Life as the 9th

Is dragging along

People stopped asking me

Who I'm seeing

Should I be offended

Or find it

Freeing
