floater friend (demo)

Behind on the sidewalk, they run but I don't And I only reach out because I know that they won't I know they just keep me around as an example Of what not to do I quiet my voice and silence my laugh Everyone knows that they sound like that I hide my happy and I cover my smile 'Cause everyone knows they don't stay for a while I don't let too many people know what goes on in my head Or know that I wish I were somebody else instead I don't let too many people get close to me I don't like it when people overanalyze everything they can see Sometimes I wish everyone could just go away You're the exception 'Cause I want you to stay I usually don't let myself cry Or let people see me when someone's left me high and dry Life's a game and everyone else is cheating But I'm still reading the rules I quiet my voice and silence my laugh Everyone knows that they sound like that I hide my happy and I cover my smile 'Cause everyone knows they don't stay for a while I don't let too many people know what goes on in my head Or know that I wish I were somebody else instead I don't let too many people get close to me I don't like it when people overanalyze everything they can see Sometimes I wish everyone could just go away You're the exception 'Cause I want you to stay I've never heard the word permanent Only to describe tattoos It's a hard life Jumping from group to group I quiet my voice and silence my laugh Everyone knows that they sound like that I hide my happy and I cover my smile 'Cause everyone knows I want you to Stay for a while
