I'm Not Ready

Surfer Blood is so underrated.

But these lyrics perfectly describes how I feel about this guy who I recently cut out of my life. he was my best friend, and knew more about me than any of my friends did, and used that to stab me in the back when I was already having a hard time.

I remember he was screaming at me in my face telling me I'm ugly in front of all my friends to make me feel bad. I just laughed and said, "who cares?" I know that I am not, and even if I was it does not matter. Looks fade with time, for people get old and ugly. That's when personality truly matters more than anything else, when your left to grow old with the one you fell head over heals for. Looks only play a role in attracting that special person.

Anyways, can't wait to hear this new EP!

arrghhhh no one seems to be able to work out the missing bits in the verse, including me :/ brilliant song though, love everything about it. i reckon everyone can relate to this song at one point or another in their lives

just realized the bridge isn't right, i think what it might be is;

to be a friend means owning up and giving a part of yourself (and loyalty is staying true no matter what others might say)

and

and now it's clear to me, that you can't be any of these and we don't have to hold our heads high anymore

im unsure of the second line but I took a stab anyway... :/

Laugh it off now but you'll be frowning soon.

Come on, man, you know that's not good for you Laugh it off now but you'll be vanished soon Let me explain what everyone's already saying You know I'm only looking out for you

Say you're turning in, man, I know better Flaking out again when they're getting it together You wonder why you've got no one else to turn to You know I'm only looking out for you

And I'm not ready To look the other way Take a look under the microscope man Try and ignore the disarray

And I'm not ready To look the other way Take a look under the microscope man Try and ignore the disarray

Your mouth is running off Now that you've seen a few things You're talking down to me But I can see that no one's listening

So you've found someone there To lap your shit up for a while Honestly? Sooner or later they will find out what you're made of Certainly! Then it's over

I know you can't count on me Cause I can't count on you to be Honest with me How can I believe? How can I believe? To be a friend means owning up and giving a part of yourself And loyalty is staying true no matter what others might tell And now it's clear to me that you can't be any of these And we don't have to hold our heads high anymore

Oh, oh, oooh, Oooh Oh, oh, oooh, Oooh Oh, oh, oooh, Oooh Oh, oh, oooh, Oooh

I'm open to constructive criticism

Come on man, you know that's not good for you. Laugh it off now but you'll be finished soon. Let me explain what everyone's already saying: you know I'm only looking out for you.

Say you're turning in man. I know better. Flaking out again? When are you getting it together? You wonder why you've got no one else to turn to: you know I'm only looking out for you.

And I'm not ready to look the other way. Take a look under the microscope, man. Try and ignore the disarray.

This is 100% accurate. I have the Tarot Classics EP on vinyl and it came with a lyric sheet to I'm Not Ready, Miranda, Reprise, and Drinking Problem.
