22 Syllables Songtext
von Into It. Over It.

You′re too occupied choking on the smoke
From this short fuse of mine, which took a half-year to light
A half-year to light
To realize you should have waited for some sort of cue
Before jabbering on and on about the towns you once knew

'Cause frankly, I asked you to stay
It′s not my fault that you left anyway

A borrowed idea which was yours to borrow-
You can thank me later to keep you busy day after day
During sets of long hours dealing four-dollar drinks
To ten-dollar tables. Is this all as you imagined it?
Talent to townie, just wasting it

'Cause frankly, I asked you to stay
So here's 22 syllables to show you I′m capable


Until you decide we′re taking our time
I'll read about us a couple days every month
Until you decide we′re taking our time
I'll read about us a couple days every month

It′s not me in the wrong
It's not me in the wrong
Taking our time a couple days every month
It′s not me in the wrong
Taking our time a couple days every month
It's not me in the wrong
It's not me in the wrong

My Winter, it never is quieter without you
My kitchen at midnight is quieter without you
My evenings in early are quieter without you
My pockets and wallet are quieter without you

But frankly, I′d asked you to stay
It′s not my fault that you left anyway

Until you decide that we're wasting our time
I′ll be reading about us a couple days every month
So until you decide that we're wasting our time
I′ll be reading about us a couple days every month
