lyrics

I've tried and I've tried I've killed and I've lied
Anything to get your attention
I wrote twenty lines about the look in your eyes
But hearing them didn't cause you to see
Sang you the works from a ten story building
But Spotify has nothing on me
'Cause your headphones play what you tell them to play
And you shut them off when your headphones play me

We're not on the same wavelength
If I'm an x-ray, you're a crest in the sea
But that doesn't mean that I can't keep on trying
To get you, to fix you and me

I die every time on your Facebook timeline
It takes longer to get back to me
Search for a picture that will give me a reason
Those pictures are like a one year story
But you only read mainly fiction and scripture
And there's no room for these fantasies
And the light that you need when you sit down to read
Comes from elsewhere, a place that I'll never be

We're not on the same wavelength
If I'm an x-ray, you're a crest in the sea
But that doesn't mean that I can't keep on trying
To get you, to fix you and me

Oh maybe I can be the slippers on your feet
Or the apple that keeps you so healthy
I'm content to be a flower by the tree
Just so long as you notice me daily
But from what I am sensing it seems like you're sensing
Something different entirely
And it don't make no sense how'd it end up like this
I'm a killer, I'm so sorry
