Occupying Space Lyrics

What am I supposed to say

When your head is getting carried away

What am I supposed to do

When it gets this hard to comfort you

You get up, you're walking away

I get off my phone and commiserate

But I'm feeling misunderstood

Completely alone in the neighborhood

I'm trying to find

Every which way

I can anticipate

What you have to say

I'm trying to hide

Every mistake

Balancing checking in

And giving you space

What am I supposed to say

When I know that something else is getting in the way

What am I supposed to do

Without making you feel guilty and pink in the face

And you should tell your family and friends

I should stop suggesting you do

But I'm feeling misunderstood

I'd fix the world for you if I could

I'm trying to find

Every which way

I can anticipate

What you have to say

I'm trying to hide

Every mistake

Balancing checking in

And giving you space

Remember when we took a trip to your parents

And it was my first time

But you didn't care and then

You were still drunk in the morning when I picked you up

And your pants were on backwards your shoes fallin' off

You opened the door on the highway and I started crying

'Cause you were just lying

But I fell in love even more than before

'Cause that weekend I saw what we were fighting for

I'm trying to find

Every which way

I can anticipate

What you have to say

I'm trying to hide

Every mistake

Balancing checking in

And giving you space

I wanna be careful

I want to feel safe

Tell you that I've gotten used to your name

I wanna feel stable

I wanna pick up the pace

But sometimes it feels like I'm just occupying space
