lyrics

Can’t send one, it must be two
Sometimes three if you just can’t chill
Phone goes off, I roll my eyes
'Cause you have too much time to kill

When we first met, I saw that smile
Then my fears began to compile
It only made me lean away
And all else is needless to say

Single for years? I wonder why
Everyone’s different, but you ain’t a lie
You were far too overly fond
An unrealistic glue-like bond

If two dates in you say you’re smitten
You will not find any commitment
Number of “yes’” you find decreasing ‘cause
Just like glue, you’re too adhesive

On date one, flags were red
Hope you knew you weren’t coming to bed
On date two, they lit like neon
And the last thing you’d ever do is lead me on

And for what good reason did you want my picture?
Did you think we’d be a “good mixture?”
Or maybe you thought I was set for stardom
Oh, your feelings, you better guard ‘em

Don’t send novels post rejection
Not convinced you’re near perfection
Don’t change words after they’ve been said
Responses to you are what I dread

If two dates in you say you’re smitten
You will not find any commitment
Number of “yes’” you find decreasing ‘cause
Just like glue, you’re too adhesive

I tried hard to sympathize
Rejection is hard to synthesize
Just know I hope you’ll figure this out
It’s too hard to live with endless self doubts

Your novel text said you keep failing
Two dates, count ‘em, the deal is done
Number of “yes’” you want an increase in
Just don’t be overly fucking adhesive
