These days I hardly say a thing
Keep to myself, I've been so clean
Sleep much better, rarely dream
And people like me, it would seem
You know
I guess there's things I wish you'd seen
I got so strong since seventeen
You might feel proud of where I've been
But then again, I guess we just won't know

Reach out for the first time
No, you don't reciprocate it
God, it's been a long time
Well, now I wish that I had waited
Oh, you say you fall fine
This is how it goes, I hate it
God, it's been a long time
Well, now I wish that I had waited

I asked you for a game of chess
Well, you like solitaire the best
I focus harder on my breath
You've never been a fan of rest, I know
I understand you had to choose
With no opponent, you still lose
And so I change, it's what I do
Now I like solitaire like you

Reach out for the first time
No, you don't reciprocate it
God, it's been a long time
Well, now I wish that I had waited
Oh, you say you fall fine
This is how it goes, I hate it
God, it's been a long time
Well, now I wish that I had waited
