Keep in Mind, Transmogrification Is a New Technology Mayday Parade

[Intro]
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room

[Verse 1]
We watched the sea turn away from the shore
And head back out the way that it came
If you are chasing your love, you don't want it enough
And it's best just to walk away
Tell yourself your pride is just the same
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
Carry your head up along the way

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero
Even when they're on your side
Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone

[Chorus]
I am selfish when I need you
I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write and that's fine

[Verse 2]
Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting
I don't wanna move cause it's just enough
I don't wanna blink cause I might miss it
Tell me when it gets to be too much
Carry your head up along the way
