From 'Flightless" - 2025
Lyrics
At your house
Down in Arlington
We went out
Asked you how you’ve been
Since you moved down here
Has it been a year?
Ponytail
Through your cap again
And you looked
So American
Like you always did
Tell me, how’s the kid?
You’re in my phone
As your maiden name
But back in October
You hyphenated it
Broke my heart
With that save-the-date
That magnet sealed my fate
There’s no question that love is a curse
Something I’d never wish on my worst
Enemy, hyperbole has got the best of me again
Got a ride
Back to DFW
Tried
To just let the elephant
Leave the room (Leave the room)
Between me and you
All the times
That I stuck my foot
In my mouth
Back when you were mine
Surprised there’s still room (For these platitudes)
That I tell myself about you
(In my heart)
I want what’s best for you
(In my head)
I know you got it too
(In my gut)
I know it’s wrong
But I think about you all day long
There’s no question that love is a curse
Something I’d never wish on my worst
Enemy, hyperbole has got the best of me again
Cause there’s no telling the damage I’ll do
If I start spelling out my feelings for you
Emily, you ruined me the moment (Me the moment)
Me the moment you became my friend
The creases in my pillowcase
Drew a map onto my sleeping face
Faint pink lines that made the shape of Texas
Emily, you were my muse
And I’m acting like I’m over you
Sometimes I only wish I knew
Which one of us I’m lying to
There’s no question that love is a curse
Something I’d never wish on my worst
Enemy, oh Emily you got the best of me again
The best of me again
The best of me again
The best of me again
