Isabel Pless - Burn Out

Flashback to skipping my classes
And pacing my floor
I loved a blond boy in high school
But not anymore
Now I plan out my life
With every guy in the grocery store
Who looks my age
Or looks my way
And I smoke out the window
When my parents are home
Leave a light on at night
If I'm sleeping alone
And my mailbox is full
But no one calls my phone
Anyway
I think I burned out a while ago
Maybe I'll relight one day
So I take shit from the people
Who talk to me like I'm ten
What if I write a good song
Then never do it again
Every time that I think
I'll snap
I just bend into place
Will I ever break?
I take back roads to work
To avoid the left turns
Leave my old friends on read
When they say they're concerned
Only listen to songs
Where I know all the words
By heart
Think I burned out a while ago
So where's my fresh start?
Ah
Ah
And I zone out completely
While watching TV
Time slips through my hands
Barely touches me
I can't picture myself
Past the age of thirty-three
And I go through the motions
And movements alone
Leave a light on at night
Just in case you come home
Cleared my mailbox for you
But you don't call my phone
Anyway
Think I burned out a while ago
Maybe I'll relight one day
