The Front Bottoms – Not Yet lyrics

I know, I know, I know
That I am not the only one confused
About how I felt, I felt, I felt
How this might work out if maybe you were someone else

I’ve tried, I tried, I tried
And I gave everything I had
And I just gave up, gave up
Gave up, gave up

Believe me, I tried
And what I found
Is what we have is nowhere near as good
As what we should have by now

God damn these girls
And god damn their boyfriends
And god damn the love
That they share between them

Follow the sound as it moves through the air
It’ll help you sleep
To play a part against the secrets I pretend to keep

I tell a joke; you’ll laugh
It all seems fake
But every smile in my mouth will cooperate

And the only thing keeping me from walking away
Is every muscle in each one of our god damn legs
So hands and knees, I will crawl to where you’re not

Believe me, I tried
And what I found
Is what we have is nowhere near as good
As what we should have by now

God damn these girls
God damn their boyfriends
And god damn the love
That they share between them

It’s okay, kind of pointless
You shake your hands and can’t believe I don’t forget it
You were right, I still regret it
I close my eyes and just pretend you never said it

I never felt whole
The timing was perfect
You were just the thing I need to wash my hands with

It’s okay, kind of pointless
You shake your hands and can’t believe I don’t forget it
You were right, you were right

Believe me, I tried
And what I found
Is what we have is nowhere near as good
As what we should have by now

God damn these girls
God damn their boyfriends
And god damn the love
That they share between them

God damn these girls
And god damn their boyfriends
And god damn the love
That they share between them

God damn, I tried
