Better Off - Cross Check

I am selfish when I need you

I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room

Watch the sea turn away from the shore

And head back out the way that it came

If you were chasing your love you wanted enough

Then it’s best just to walk away

Tell yourself your pride is just the same

Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away

Carry your head up along the way

You’ll say you had the courage and it got to the hero

Even when they’re on your side

Let’s watch the middle finger wave 'til it’s all gone

I am selfish when I need you

I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room

I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write

And that’s fine

Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting

I don’t wanna move cause it’s just enough

I don’t wanna blink cause I might miss it

Tell me when it gets to be too much

Carry your head up along the way

You’ll say you had the courage and it got to the hero

You tell me but he’s on your side

We’ll watch the middle fade away 'til it’s all gone

I am selfish when I need you

I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room

I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write

And that’s fine

All we need is a place we can be alone

Just with you and with me

And without all this desperate weight that I have

All I want is to just be honest

You’re the peace that I just found out I’m into

And I don’t see you anymore

I am selfish when I need you

I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room

I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write

And that’s fine

You had the courage and it got to the hero

And everybody’s on your side

We’ll watch the middle fade away 'til it’s all gone

I just want to waste your time
