X and Y Lyrics

Things will never change if you stay awake

There's revelations that are just super lame

And you're not prepared enough to talk about it so you lie

"Things will get better" is all they can say

But you can't sleep or drink away parts of the pain

Wishing you had a choice between X and Y

In your bed alone, you rock against the waves

And on that week of May, you pathetically long for change

On the road you always speed

'Cause there's nothing for me to do at three A.M.

Drugs and hormones and a brand new name

But you're too poor to buy appropriate change

And your parents would abandon you anyway if you did

The mirror deceives and you start to cry

So you move in online and act super bi

Thinking how nice it is as a nice little getaway

In your bed alone, you rock against the waves

On that week of May, you pathetically long for change

On the road you always speed

'Cause there's nothing for me to do at three A.M.

In your car alone, you rip along the mountain roads

On that week of May, you risked being torn from head to toe

Where is your sense of pride?

In a few weeks, you'll be hard to find
