The Awkward Act of Love Lyrics
My back hurts again today.
I think all of my stress has settled in my shoulder-blades.
But I'll go out anyway and starve myself of sleep until I'm weak in my knees.
I'll rest when I'm dead.
Until then, I'll hang with my friends.
Work all week for money that I really shouldn't spend,
just so that I can buy more beer and barely make my rent.
Wake up next month and do it all again.
There's a girl across my town who says she's moving out.
I'll follow suit when I decide I have to.
I'm just tired of feeling romantic in a town full of stupid drunks
and children who have no idea what they're in for.
But I'm no better. I'm just treading water until something better comes along
or I find a reason to write another love song.
But, I still wonder how many boxes I would need
and how many pints I'd need to bleed from this sad, sorry heart to take everyone with me.
Would you think it forward if I said that I missed you?
What if I wanted to kiss you?
The awkward act of love can kill the heart of anyone.
The awkward act of love can heal the heart of anyone.
I think all of my stress has settled in my shoulder-blades.
But I'll go out anyway and starve myself of sleep until I'm weak in my knees.
I'll rest when I'm dead.
Until then, I'll hang with my friends.
Work all week for money that I really shouldn't spend,
just so that I can buy more beer and barely make my rent.
Wake up next month and do it all again.
I'll follow suit when I decide I have to.
I'm just tired of feeling romantic in a town full of stupid drunks
and children who have no idea what they're in for.
But I'm no better. I'm just treading water until something better comes along
or I find a reason to write another love song.
and how many pints I'd need to bleed from this sad, sorry heart to take everyone with me.
What if I wanted to kiss you?
The awkward act of love can heal the heart of anyone.
