Something on TV
So we never think
About you and me
But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood
Laying on the screen
You just need a better life than this
You need something I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It’s gone now, the night has come, but
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now
You can’t fight it
You can’t breathe
You say something so loving, but
Now I’ve got to let you go
You’ll be better off in someone new
I don’t wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too
You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I’ll say goodbye
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now
I just wonder what you’re dreaming of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that’s perfectly un-sad
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out

Just me and you and you and me alone
We’re just playing hide and seek
It’s getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
I don’t want to play no games
I’m tired of always chasing, chasing after you
I don’t give a fuck about you anyways
Whoever said I gave a shit ’bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I’m just a play date to you
Wake up in your bedroom and there’s nothing left to say
When I try to talk you’re always playing board games
I wish I had monopoly over your mind
I wish I didn’t care all the time

Whoever said I gave a shit ’bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I’m just a play date to you
Ring around the rosy
I never know, I never know what you need
Ring around the rosy, I want to give you, want to give you
What you need
I don’t give a fuck about you anyways
Whoever said I gave a shit ’bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I’m just a play date to you
You know I give a fuck about you everyday
Guess it’s time that I tell you the truth
If I share my toys, will you let me stay?
Don’t want to leave this play date with you
