about

this is the part of the story where humans differ from animals (which I see as perhaps a negative thing)
this is the part of the story where we screwed it all up
this is the part of the story where we get all caught up in emotions and stuff
this is the part of the story where i feel real inspired yet again
this is the part of the story where i feel real real low yet again
this is the part of the story where it was february
this is the part of the story where nathan and the trees
this is the part of the story where the ceiling swims
this is the part of the story where i grow a pair
this is the part of the story where i tell her i'm in love with her
this is the part of the story where she displays her good characteristics
this is the part of the story where honestly i'm dying on the inside

lyrics

As I'm walking through the trees and explaining to Nathan what you mean to me, I kind of want to die
In spite of my incompetence, I'm losing all the confidence that I never really had in the first place

Thinking 'bout a year ago when I could have gained it all, but threw it all away
Now I'm planning in my head how to jump a spot ahead, and what I'm gonna say

I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help but care
And I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help but care

And as I'm lying in the night and losing my mind,
I realize that I've gotta try
I'm staring at my popcorn ceiling, experiencing all these intense feelings
At the very least, I've got to try

I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help but care
And I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help but care

When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee
When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee
When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna dieeeee
When all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die, all in all you wanna die when all in all you wanna die when allll innn alll youuuu waaaannnaaa diieeeeeee

I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help
I can't help, no I can't help but hate myself
And I can't help no I can't help,
I can't help I can't fucking help
I can't help no I can't help but hate myself

And I prepared myself for rejection, not to amplify the transcendence that could possibly occur if you felt the same way,
But 'cause I knew that I wasn't good enough for you to go out of your way of your life for me, but I guess we'll see
Then I let it out after so, so long,
You said "that's so sweet, and I like your songs,"
But I pretty much knew
What was coming next
You said, "it's getting late, and I should probably go, I gotta charge my phone and my mom's expecting me back home."
Me back home.
I got back in the car and said, "Well that was brief. When will the weight of the world be lifted off of me?"
Of me?
And Paul said, "man, it's all okay, you really did the right thing at the end of the day."
At the end of the day
But what hurt so much is that you were so cool, you didn't freak out or treat me like a fool
And that's why I love you
That's why I love you
That's why I'm so in love with you,
Well that's why I love you

Well we're only set apart by our intelligence,
We just had to make sense of all this shit around us
Around us
So why'd we have to go and screw it all up?
'Cause we were only made to eat and fuck
But got all caught up in emotions and stuff

'Cause honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside

'Cause honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside

Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside

Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
Honestly I'm dying on the inside, I'm, honestly I'm dying on the inside
