lyrics
sometimes it feels like i’m swimming with sharks
just reading books by myself in the park
and when i’m walking alone after dark
i don’t want your yell, don’t shout me out
over my headphones
i hear you telling me to smile
and then you reach for me
bit in the ocean bleeding
where is your self-control
now you’ve been talking for a while
you don’t even let me speak
you think you know everything
the days i’ve patiently waited
while things i know are clarified or debated
your eyes close when you talk about champagne
my eyes roll back so far i see my brain
and there is so much you try to explain
that i don’t wanna know, keep to yourself
i load into the show
you ask if i’m somebody’s girlfriend
not seen as capable
just someone’s property
the days i’ve patiently waited
while you miscalculated — i don’t owe you anything
you stand in front of me blocking the view
but i’ll climb ladders to see over you
and if there’s something you think i can’t do
don’t need your company, don’t knock me down
what do you deserve from me
n-o-t-h-i-n-g
why do you always have to be
so c-r-y-p-t-i-c
save the calls for my kitty
c-h-a-r-l-i-e
wish you had earned that PHD
in r-e-s-p-e-c-t
how many girls in this city
are getting t-i-r-e-d
finding a sense of security
through h-i-d-i-n-g
wish i could swim but i’m in your teeth
b-l-e-e-d-i-n-g
wish you had earned that PHD
in r-e-s-p-e-c-t
just reading books by myself in the park
and when i’m walking alone after dark
i don’t want your yell, don’t shout me out
over my headphones
i hear you telling me to smile
and then you reach for me
bit in the ocean bleeding
where is your self-control
now you’ve been talking for a while
you don’t even let me speak
you think you know everything
the days i’ve patiently waited
while things i know are clarified or debated
your eyes close when you talk about champagne
my eyes roll back so far i see my brain
and there is so much you try to explain
that i don’t wanna know, keep to yourself
i load into the show
you ask if i’m somebody’s girlfriend
not seen as capable
just someone’s property
the days i’ve patiently waited
while you miscalculated — i don’t owe you anything
you stand in front of me blocking the view
but i’ll climb ladders to see over you
and if there’s something you think i can’t do
don’t need your company, don’t knock me down
what do you deserve from me
n-o-t-h-i-n-g
why do you always have to be
so c-r-y-p-t-i-c
