statistics Lyrics

The sound of pool sticks

Clashing and hitting the floor

My friends at the bar who said they'd have one drink

But now are taking down their fourth

This place is filled to the brim but

I'm only looking at him and

If they mentioned our history

Where would I even begin

Now I question

Are you nervous?

Or are you acting that way on purpose?

Do you need the

Liquid courage?

Or is it so I don't seem like a burden?

Why can't it be

So utterly simplistic

But instead I'm

Analyzing the statistics

You're biggest cheerleader

Shoves me to your side and you

Tell me that I look lovely

Even under this harsh red light

I'll use my strategy of

Pretending that it doesn't affect me but

Inside the version of me from a year ago is

Screaming so

Now I question

Are you nervous?

Or are you acting that way on purpose?

Do you need the

Liquid courage?

Or is it so I don't seem like a burden?

Why can't it be

So utterly simplistic

But instead I'm

Analyzing the statistics

You sat

At the corner of my bed

As I told you that I

Wrote a song about you

Way back when

Embarrassingly true

I'm looking at all the patterns

Reviewing previous chapters

And wondering if this is worth

Whatever sanity

I have left

Now I question

Were you nervous?

Or were you acting that way on purpose?

Did you need the

Liquid courage?

Or was I really just such a burden?

Why can't it be

So utterly simplistic?

But instead I'm

Analyzing the statistics

I told you that I wrote a song about you

Way back when

And I just

Did it again
