Cardboard

Am I running or am I bored? Constant motion's got me feeling kind of torn White picket fences and polaroid lenses And all the endless things inside your drawers You'll be happy and I'll have cardboard Another night spent on my own (another night spent on my own) Whole new city's got me reaching for my phone Another vacation, a new education But never any markings on the walls You'll be happy and I'll have cardboard And so I pity myself Cause I'm watching you alone on the balcony And no I don't need your help But tonight I'm caught up in our obscurities All the birthdays I missed Graduations I ditched so I could chase a dream For what could have been But I'm on standby Seasons change just like my home You give the roses to prick my finger on the thorns Where have I gone, gone, gone Cause I'll have cardboard And so I pity myself Cause I'm watching you alone on the balcony And no I don't need your help But tonight I'm caught up in our obscurities All the birthdays I missed Graduations I ditched so I could chase a dream For what could have been But I'm on standby Tonight I'm gonna raise a glass to us For how we both are never good enough I hope some day we'll be the best of us So best of luck And so I pity myself Cause I'm watching you alone on the balcony And no I don't need your help But tonight I'm caught up in our obscurities All the birthdays I missed Graduations I ditched so I could chase a dream For what could have been But I'm on standby
