My Play Lyrics

I put on a play in my old house
In my cape, jumping on the old couch
Putting up lights when it's cold out
Mom and Dad, both seats sold out
Show you my play

Haven’t seen the old house lately
Wonder if they've found my spaceship
I don't want my own love wasted
Tell me this is what you're saying:

If you both out-grew one another
I could start now, looking for a lover
But if love dies, do I fucking bother?

I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play
And I don't wanna do it for Dad at Dad's new place
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it twice, 'cause it's not the same

I’ve been on dates, bringing flowers
Tryna' be great for an hour
You and me might go sour
But if we don't hold out, then we're cowards
I put on a play in my basement (Basement)
Mom and Dad smiling faces (Faces)
But now I don't know if they faked it
Guess everything is complicated

If you both out-grew one another
I could start now, looking for a lover
But if love dies, do I fucking bother?

I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play
And I don't wanna do it for Dad at Dad's new place
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
And I don’t wanna do it twice, 'cause it's not the same

You did everything, everything, everything that you could
We do everything, everything, everything 'til it's through
I'll do everything, everything, everything when I’m you

But when I show you my play
Will you pretend you didn't know if I make a mistake?
It's gonna get really, really, really, really bad before it's okay
But maybe you'll forget it all while you're watching my play
