Your room was covered in dayglow Smoke rings hanging like halos How could you know how I feel You can identify trees Just by looking at the leaves How could you know how I feel How could you know how I feel I'm no shrinking violet I just like being quiet How could you know how I feel Like carousel horses We're set on our courses You're always right on my heels How could I know how that feels You say you've tried everything High school for you was college for me Don't flatter yourself, you're not my first Is your go-to line, and it always works I grew up in a fog I always knew how to withdraw How could you know how I feel Half your life ago I was living alone How could you know how I feel You broke the news In our favorite corner booth How could you know how I feel Said you shouldn't feel stupid I just knew before you did I'm sitting here spinning my wheels I bet you know how that feels You say you tried everything Holding back, leaning in And all of it hurts Nothing changes, nothing works Jacking me off of the ledge No, you can't touch me yet I've got a system for that I can watch my own back
