you've got nothing on me but i've got so much on you (lyrics)

verse one: i want a yellow bird that whistles
so it can sing me to sleep
when you're gone from behind your eyes
and can't comfort me
i want a yellow bird that can sing...
and the road twists and turns
all the way home
but i know you're not there
cuz your eyes are smiling
your arms are outstreached
and your teeth are bared...

CHORUS: i see right through you
and you see right through me
i am looking into her eyes
and she's asking me
am i blind?
or can i not realize
that you and i weren't ment to be
happy
i'm just addicted to misery...

verse two: i want a word so powerful
it will knock you over when you're standing
still so you'll realize
i'm standing here
i want a word so powerful it will make you realize...
and the road i'm walking on is
lined with trees that dance in the wind
and kiss the breeze
but i don't notice that beauty at all
i'm still waiting for the next big
trip and fall...

CHORUS: i see right through you
and you see right through me
i am looking into her eyes
and she's asking me
am i blind?
or can i not realize
that you and i weren't ment to be
happy
i'm just addicted to misery...

bridge: i'm your used up paper cup
you've deemed me unworthy and
discarded me
i'm still dirty with your fingerprints
but things are looking up
things are making sense
things are taking a second glance

and my world's a small one
but you can come in if you really want to
if you say the magic word and
say you've been feeling used
i'll move over and make room
cuz even monsters like company too

CHORUS 2: i see right through you
and you see right through me
i'm looking into your eyes
you say i'm blind
and i can't realize that you
and i weren't ment to be
happy...

i am looking into her eyes
she cries i'm blind
and i need to realize
that misery only loves company

Author notes

first, this song is crazy. and about so many different people. and was inspired by a parakeet. (i was a little...crazy...at the time)

and i wanted to give it a Fall-out-boy-inspired-uber-long-title...so i did. lol

but i actully have music for this and i kind like it. though to anyone outside of my head...it prolly makes little sense.

    So I LOVED these stanzas:

    "but i know you're not there
    cuz your eyes are smiling
    your arms are outstreached
    and your teeth are bared..."

    AND

    "i want a word so powerful
    it will knock you over when you're standing
    still so you'll realize
    i'm standing here
    i want a word so powerful it will make you realize...
    and the road i'm walking on is
    lined with trees that dance in the wind
    and kiss the breeze
    but i don't notice that beauty at all
    i'm still waiting for the next big
    trip and fall..."

    But I connected to this one the most:

    "i'm your used up paper cup
    you've deemed me unworthy and
    discarded me
    i'm still dirty with your fingerprints
    but things are looking up
    things are making sense
    things are taking a second glance"

    Tim poem much? Well obviously not for you, but for me. Goddamnit Julia WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR TALENT AND HOW CAN I GET SOME?!

    This was such a fucking fantastical write. I wanted to put the whole thing in quotations, it was just that good.

    "but i know you're not there

    That sounds like something Maddy would say about me.

    "i'll move over and make room
    cuz even monsters like company too"

    That sounds like something I would say in general.

    I love your poems.
    We always seem to be on the same page, you know?
    Everything you write... it just parallels what I'm going through.
