Being Around Lyrics by The Slaps

A

2019

[Verse 1]
If I gave a second to a second thought
I'd watch my youth slip right through
My wide eyes
If I told you that I loved you
That would be a guarantee
That there's nothing
Or no one else for me
Oh, I can't be in charge of breaking hearts
That ain't a job
Girl don't you make a monster out of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm trying, trying my best
To write the words into phrases
Phrases from all the phases
All for you

[Chorus]
I'll keep living
You can stay
I don't mind the company, babe
Just know I ain't old enough to say
That what I have is what's ahead
Oh, you're the one until I'm dead
I'll kiss your lips
And I'll bless your brain
I'm a jolly roger darling dodger bane

[Verse 2]
And we know my mind ain't right
A late bloomer I took boomers
Trust in me is a cautious game
You ought not to play
And my heart ain't in my chest
Stomach's always a mess
I'm nervous, young
Always obsessed with something new
And soon all I'll do is sit and whine and write to you
While you're off wishing your thoughts far from me

[Pre-Chorus]
Still I'm trying, trying my best
To write the words into phrases
Phrases from all the phases
All for you

[Chorus]
I'll keep living
You can stay
I don't mind the company, babe
Just know I ain't old enough to say
That what I have is what's ahead
Oh, you're the one until I'm dead
I'll kiss your lips
I'll bless your brain
I'm a jolly roger darling dodger bane
