Together

You’re different

With all of us

Versus just me.

You’re different

With a whole crazy friend group

Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

Or playing flute in my room 

Or practicing for the spelling bee on your couch

Or going over a duet with your dad.

You’re different with me and honestly,

Honestly it’s good different,

I mean you know I’ll always love you

Infinity forever figures five and three

But you are so much more real

When you don’t have to be a certain way for the people around you

When you know it’s me and you know me

When it’s just us

You’re different

And you can talk to me

And I can talk to you

And this is the boy I fell in love with because

Because he was like this

With me

From day one and I don’t know why but I was too

And you’re different depending on who you’re with and so am I

But I think we’re a little happier

A little more ourselves

When we’re with each other

  • Story of my life

    I could pretend to be happy

    When the world is ending

    And you'd all believe me

    I'm a great actor

    But never onstage

     

    I can say I'm happy for you

    Congrats that's so cool

    When under it all

  • It's hard

    It's hard

    It's really hard

    When there are so many people to balance all the time

    So many personalities

    So many conversations

    Overlapping

    Talking over each other

    So many big emotions

  • I think

    I think you make me really happy

    I think it’s sort of all-consuming

    I think I want to be with you every second

    Of every day

    I think maybe what keeps me up at night

    Is replaying you

    Replaying us
