Lyrics
0:13Couldn't always come to mine when your dad got angry
0:19So I'd play new Nujabes down the phone for you to hear
0:27I could picture terror swirling in your iris
0:33You would say, "I cannot bear this, get me out of here"
0:41Wait, you know when college starts again, you'll manage
0:48Wait, you know that I'll be there to kiss the damage
0:55Wait, you know I bought a couple books I think you'd like
1:04Just hold on for tonight
1:09It feels like nothing's changing
1:13And I can't do this, can't do this
1:16It feels like nothing's changing
1:19And I can't do this, can't do this
1:24It feels like nothing's changing
1:26And I can't do this, can't do this
1:30It feels like nothing's changing
1:34It feels like nothing's changing
1:37Oleander bushes flourish in your garden
1:43I come round for pancakes
1:45And we'd stretch under the leaves
1:50He would always act so sarcastically charming
1:56Wonder if he realized how much he hurt his kids
2:05Wait, you know when college starts again, you'll manage
2:12Wait, you know that I'll be there to kiss the damage
2:19Wait, you know I bought a couple books I think you'll like
2:26So hold on for tonight
2:32It feels like nothing's changing
2:36And I can't do this, can't do this
2:39It feels like nothing's changing
2:43And I can't do this, can't do this
2:46It feels like nothing's changing
2:50And I can't do this, can't do this
2:54It feels like nothing's changing
2:58It feels like nothing's changing
3:07Can't do this
3:21Can't do this
Couldn't always come to mine when your dad got angry So I'd play new Nujabes down the phone for you to hear I could picture terror swirling in your iris You would say, "I cannot bear this, get me out of here" Wait, you know when college starts again, you'll manage Wait, you know that I'll be there to kiss the damage Wait, you know I bought a couple books I think you'd like Just hold on for tonight It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing It feels like nothing's changing Oleander bushes flourish in your garden I come round for pancakes And we'd stretch under the leaves He would always act so sarcastically charming Wonder if he realized how much he hurt his kids Wait, you know when college starts again, you'll manage Wait, you know that I'll be there to kiss the damage Wait, you know I bought a couple books I think you'll like So hold on for tonight It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing And I can't do this, can't do this It feels like nothing's changing It feels like nothing's changing Can't do this Can't do this
