lyrics

As we drove through the suburbs  
I cringed while you wrung yourself out 
I was born a square peg
but hoped by the end of that drive
I’d be round

 and the space that I hold 
is as small as a thimble  
as small as the thought  
Weren’t we all born single   

‘cause you're too much for me 
I don’t have quite the ear 
to hear what’s inside of you 
‘cause I'm too much for me too  

And you told me all the rules 
of making room for you: 
Don’t question
Don’t judge
Don't add 
Just completely empty your head   

But you're too much for me
 I don’t have the stamina  
to let you ruin my day
 ‘cause I need it to ruin it my way

 On our way to your friends 
I cringed while you burst into tears
 Does my face look strange  
now you cried off both my ears   

The space that I hold
 is as small as a dime 
and sometimes I need to hear 
that bad old brain of mine

You're too much for me 
I don’t have quite the ear 
to hear what’s inside of you 
‘cause I'm too much for me too

You're too much for me 
I don’t have the stamina  
To let you ruin my day 
‘cause I need it to ruin it my way
I need it to ruin it my way
