Choose Me

I can't stop looking at your picture. I keep hoping you'll get the message and want to return the call. I know you won't. You don't think of me the way I think of you. You never did. You never could. That information hasn't helped me to feel differently towards you. I know you're an unwilling participant in this crush. You told me yourself. But I guess I can't help myself. I think we belong together. I think we'd make each other better. I know that it would be weird at first. But isn't every relationship? It doesn't matter the history or lack thereof. The only thing that matters is this exact moment and the choices we make for tomorrow. 

I wish someone would choose me.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the most unlovable person in the world. What was it you said? Everyone loves me except for you? Yeah. Doesn't it just feel that way sometimes? You know I'm still reciting the same old lines. I'm not sure I'll ever flip this record over. I just like to listen to it again and again. It has all the best songs in one place. Who could ask for more?

Even when you're just a fantasy, you're better than the real thing to me.

It's a game I don't want to keep playing. I just want you to want me. It's pretty simple, I think. I'm not asking for everything, just to be yours. There was a time that was all you wanted. There was a time you would have begged for my hand. I know I didn't listen then. I got lost in Albuquerque. But now, I'm fucking listening.

Are you ready? Release me.
