Occupying Space

What am I supposed to say When your head is getting carried away What am I supposed to do When it gets this hard to comfort you You get up, you're walking away I get off my phone and commiserate But I'm feeling misunderstood Completely alone in the neighborhood I'm trying to find Every which way I can anticipate What you have to say I'm trying to hide Every mistake Balancing checking in And giving you space What am I supposed to say When I know that something else is getting in the way What am I supposed to do Without making you feel guilty and pink in the face And you should tell your family and friends I should stop suggesting you do But I'm feeling misunderstood I'd fix the world for you if I could I'm trying to find Every which way I can anticipate What you have to say I'm trying to hide Every mistake Balancing checking in And giving you space Remember when we took a trip to your parents And it was my first time But you didn't care and then You were still drunk in the morning when I picked you up And your pants were on backwards your shoes fallin' off You opened the door on the highway and I started crying 'Cause you were just lying But I fell in love even more than before 'Cause that weekend I saw what we were fighting for I'm trying to find Every which way I can anticipate What you have to say I'm trying to hide Every mistake Balancing checking in And giving you space I wanna be careful I want to feel safe Tell you that I've gotten used to your name I wanna feel stable I wanna pick up the pace But sometimes it feels like I'm just occupying space
