I know I fret about the small things
I know I tend to not care
And wouldn't it be nice if we all knew what we were doing?

It's such a chore to be happy
It's such a chore to stay cool
And 20 years go by so fast when you act like a fool

But may I please talk now?
Emotions are better than screaming out loud
Up at the heavens, screaming
"I'm just fine! Everybody hear me!
Oh, I'll get by! I don't need anybody!"

Cause little ol' me never opens up
Blame it on a few things at the bottom of a cup
And never face my problems and never talk about them
And when it really matters, I'll shut down and lose my words.

I can't see why you're so happy
When life just sucks and no one is smiling
Can I make it work? Can I work towards an ending?
Will I be alright when things don't line up for me

Cause I'm curious where my life will take me!
The suspense is kind of killing me.

But may I please talk now?
Emotions are better than screaming out loud
Up at the heavens, screaming
"I'm just fine! Everybody hear me!
Oh, I'll get by! I don't need anybody!"

Cause little ol' me never opens up
Blame it on a few things at the bottom of a cup
And never face my problems and never talk about them
And when it really matters, I'll shut down and lose my words.

Words can be so hard to formulate!
It's another dream I can't escape
This wine feels super great! I'm up past "way too late"!
I'll be coming to work again with a headache I can't fake.

Don't come by at 3 in the morning
I'll still be up drunk, it's disappointing
How I'm still this fucked, soaking in my tub
Eating butter with a spoon
Even though we're broken up

It's embarrassing how much I can't relate!
Will you humor me and stay the night just once?
We don't have to touch
You can sleep on my bed
I just need to hear your breath

Cause I'm pretty fucking sure
I'll cry tonight even though I seemed fine
Staring at the time, thinking
"I won't lie! Everybody hates me!
That's quite alright! I don't need anybody!"

Cause little ol' me prefers to get drunk
Blame it on a lot of things and then give up
Run away from all my issues and never talk about them
And when it really matters, I'll find an excuse to get the fuck out of here!

And never talk, it's fun to isolate!
It's another dream I can't escape
This car ride's super slow, we're up past "way too late"!
I'll be coming to work again with a headache I can't shake in time!

And I don't want to die
And I don't want to cry
But if I see you tonight
Oh, will it save me?

Because it feels like summer vacation
And the echoes in these walls are too distracting!
And I can't wait to come and see you
But it's kinda cold in Humboldt, California!

And it kills to be dishonest
And I know I should let go of all my grudges!
And I can't wait to come and see you
And spend the night in Humboldt, California!
Oh yeah!

Humboldt, California, oh yeah!
It's cold in California!
