The Story of Jake and Evan

I moved in fresh, just a freshman dream New faces, new places, or so it seemed Got my roomie, a quiet guy He stays to himself, never asks me why I talk too much, he likes his peace Two different worlds, yet we find release So we made a pact, both agreed Next semester, a change is what we need But there's this guy, Jake talks a lot His roommate, Evan, doesn't care that much And he's messy, and hard to please Doesn't respect the boundaries, does what he sees I hear the gossip, I hear the sound But I need the truth, I need it found Who's the real one, who's the fake Who's got the lies that they can't shake I don't wanna end up in the same space With the wrong guy, in the wrong place I'll find my way, I'll make the call But in this game, I'm afraid to fall The story of Jake and Evan, they twist and turn I just want peace, I just want to learn So I thought, why not talk to Evan Jake says he's got some stuff to listen But when I met him, he wasn't the same He didn't fit the picture, wasn't playing the game He talked about life with an open mind His words were honest, sharp, and kind I felt a vibe that was real, not fake So what's the truth, what's at stake Evan spoke of Jake, said he's not the best Leaves his stuff around, no time to confess And complaints I've heard from my own life Those are a lot like Zach, my own roommate strife I don't know who's the one to trust Is this all just stories or dust Who's the real one, who's the fake Who's got the lies that they can't shake I don't wanna end up in the same space With the wrong guy, in the wrong place I'll find my way, I'll make the call But in this game, I'm afraid to fall The story of Jake and Evan, they twist and turn I just want peace, I just want to learn So I thought, boy, who's the fake Who's got the lies that they can't shake I don't wanna end up in the same space With the wrong guy, in the wrong place I'll find my way, I'll make the call But in this game, I'm afraid to fall The story of Jake and Evan, they twist and turn I just want peace, I just want to learn Jake said, maybe, yeah, it's fine But first, I gotta talk to Evan tonight He's got the doubts, he's got the fear Afraid of the truth of what's clear But as the night went on, I saw the light Evan's just human, just tryna get it right But Jake, he won't speak his mind They're both stuck, I'm left behind Who's the real one, who's the fake Who's hiding truth they just can't shake I don't wanna end up in the same space With the wrong guy, in the wrong place I'll find my way, I'll make the call But in this game, I'm afraid to fall The story of Jake and Evan, I still don't know Did Jake stay with him or just let it go? So here we are, stuck in the loop Evan and Jake, they stay in the group And me, I'm just waiting for my fate Trying to figure out who's real, who's great I guess I'll find out when next semester's near Will I make the change or live in fear The story of Jake and Evan, yeah, they'll unfold But this is my story, it's yet to be told
