lyrics

I'm sitting in the window of my favorite
little spot
Breathing in, trying not to let my mind
escape my thoughts
My focus isn't letting my drink my tea
while it's still hot
Breathing in, trying not to think my
trying is for naught
Make up your mind, let it take hold
Try to look tough so you can be alone
It's all just fine, you will stay cool
Standing your ground doesn't stop
the fools

Too shy to keep you off
Talking is hard when you feel like a
trading card
Don't mean to make you scoff
Wanting to find a different place a
different time
I wish it was hard to see
I never thought I'd ever be something
someone would want to see
Wanting all the wrong things
Been waiting here so long it seems
this is the most I'll ever be

Laying underneath the dancing lights
of leaves above
Cherry blossom moments are
supposed to feel like love
Heavy like a feather fully covered in
syrup
Thinking of the times he clipped my
wings and left me stuck
Another time I would let go
Try to agree so you won't be alone
It isn't fine, ready to fold
Look in his eves and say it's time to go
It's time to go

Too shy to keep you off
Talking is hard when you feel like a
trading card
Don't mean to make you scoff
Wanting to find a different place a
different time
I wish it was hard to see
I never thought I'd ever be something
someone would want to see
Wanting all the wrong things
Been waiting here so long it seems
this is the most I'll ever be

(Too shy, don't be)
Feel like a trading card
Feel like a trading card
Feel like a trading card
