It's you again and I can think of nothing to say You're beautiful, that's why I'm a new guy every day I act like someone else Like who you want me to be I'm everyone but me They say "Just be you, you don't need to try so hard" OK, sure, that's true But I can't let down my guard Why can't I be the guy who is real No bullshit ideal Or layers to peel away A wall goes up and all I think to say is "Hello, hi, how are you? You look great today" And "Hey, what's new?" And "That's so true" And "Oh my god, no way" "Hello, hi, how are you?" Every line is staged The same ordeal, don't think or feel But seem like you're engaged And on and on I rummage through my vault of used up sayings But I'm praying I'll find something that has meaning at its core 'Cause really what's the point if we're just coasting on the surface? We are capable of finding, saying, feeling so much more But we're just coasting Tight jeans, low cut shirt A vintage bottle of wine Toss hair, start to flirt Relax, your ass looks fine Tell stories, fill up space Pretend to laugh at your flaws Avoid the awkward pause They say "Just be you, you don't need to try so hard" OK, sure, that's true But I can't let down my guard And when my mouth starts to move I get in this groove Please someone approve of me "Hello, hi, how are you? You look great today" And "Hey, what's new?" And "That's so true" And "Oh my god, no way" "Hello, hi, how are you?" Speak but never think "Hah, hah, hah" And "Blah, blah, blah" And grab another drink And on and on I rummage through my vault of used up sayings But I'm praying I'll find something that has meaning at its core 'Cause really what's the point if we're just coasting on the surface? We are capable of finding, saying, feeling so much more But we're just coasting Coasting Why do I laugh at jokes that I don't get? Why do I say things I know I'll regret? Why do I care so much about my weight? Why am I friends with people whom I hate? Why do I cover up all my imperfections? Why do I lie so much? Why do I try so much? Why am I afraid to make connections? "Hello, hi, how are you? You look great today" And "Hey, what's new?" And "That's so true" And "Oh my god, no way" "Hello, hi, how are you?" Speak but never think "Hah, hah, hah" And "Blah, blah, blah" And never stop to blink And on and on I rummage through my vault of used up sayings But I'm praying that I'll find some sort of substance and connect 'Cause really what's the point if we're just coasting on the surface? If we take a moment we'll begin To find and say and feel We can discover something real If we are willing to reflect But we're just coasting Coasting [Thanks to Alexandra for lyrics]
