Zach & the Lateblumers - BARNACLES Lyrics

You're bored senseless
On a rock covered in barnacles
I could keep you entertained
I saw that you read what I said
Your face is hovering by the text
Smiling but never typing

Am I really more boring than barnacles
Am I really more boring than barnacles

You're taking off the night shift
And I've got a rental car
Making a plan is all that remains
I choose to believe that it's true
That my messages somehow didn't get through
A missed connection's more romantic anyway

Am I really more boring than barnacles
Am I really more boring than barnacles

My therapist would tell me I shouldn't give these thoughts the time of day
But barnacles have got me beat, I can't spin this any other way
And I'm leaving in the morning, I should just go to sleep, I'll be okay
But barnacles have got me beat, I can't spin this any other way

You're faded like a summer tan, and I'm several thousand miles away
And things are going good right now, I just try to take it day by day
But it's cold in my apartment, and my loneliness comes out to play
And August rushes back to me and I'm terrified it's here to stay

My therapist would tell me I shouldn't give these thoughts the time of day
But barnacles have got me beat, I can't spin this any other way
In the morning you'll be gone again, I should go to sleep, I'll be okay
But barnacles have got me beat, I can't spin this any other way
