Relationships are a real puzzle, aren’t they? I’m trying to figure out a woman who wants to spend all her free time with me. I thought that’s what I wanted, but she sometimes gets embarrassed around me. I never get embarrassed around her. I don’t know, maybe we’d make better friends than romantic partners, but I’d still like to try. We’re such goofballs when we’re together, and I cherish our memories we’ve built. I just wish we could solidify our dynamic a little.

Chill the Vice

Setting our sun where the moon won’t shine
Would you take a little time to remember my line
I forgot it again, and I need a little help
‘Cause I’m far too accustomed doing it for myself

And I want to do for you what I wouldn’t for me
With a fire in my heart, for a family
And I couldn’t even start, with a lighter in hand
So I’m smoking my forgiveness, not an innocent man

Could you understand me, when I try
Could you comprehend me, when I cry
Can you read my feelings, if I lie
Knowing that I’d never, say goodbye

Tell me I’m hurt in a cynical voice
Like a “you did this” when you’re making my choice
Put the terror in my trembling and show me your thorns
Guess I thought you were Wisteria, I’m bloody and torn

But I won’t back down at the end of the day
I can wait all night just to beg you to stay
But you did that too, see, my story is straight
Though the things I do get you shot out the gate

Can I hope to recover
And count on my lover
I’m wishing she’d count on me twice

And if she’s returning
Get our fire burning
Just lower the heat, chill the vice

Outreach your groove

I’m sure you’ve got somebody out there. You know the person. They’ve been there for a chapter of your story, and you want to tell them what’s been going on. I know they’ll appreciate you telling them so. Grab a moment to give them an update, alright? They’re worth it.
