A Degree of Engagement (Gold Panda's "Marriage" (Star Slinger Remix))

[Verse 1] What a convenience, now what a pain, that we live in the same town I could use help fending off these demons, Waiting on the day for you to come back around Like the world works, like a merry-go, but I don't believe in tales of fairy, though Man, I gotta man up, clear my throat, when they play our song on the stereo Sanity is strained, heads a mess Lost in this game, I ain't ever played chess Caught up in the corner, and I'm always in check Trying to catch my breathe, but, man, I'm so stressed... ...But I know I'm so blessed Keep the reasons, for breathing, deep in, my chest Don't remind me to count them, I know calculus We have ups and downs, the world's mountainous But I know there's no one above me Watching over me, just loving me Or down below us, hunting me Trying to damn my soul cause he thinks its funny These kinds of thoughts still trouble me When I'm thrown back to sea, cause she wasn't that hungry Can't hold still, hands shake like bumble bees Heartbreak always humbles me [Bridge] Take a deep breathe... Take a look around So many ideas but they change form like clouds & they always so far out of reach So i day-dream that I'm laying on the beach Take a deep breathe... Take a look around My thought bubbles pop, drop down to the ground I'm stitching together my fingers so they don't slip through, my future is ripping the seems Cause All I do is day-dream, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I I I I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I day dream I day dream, I, I, I I I [Verse 2] I'm sorry, to interrupt, can you hold on for a second? Shes actually, texting me, I've got to respond to her message This phone, I know, she's the only, reason I check it I'm lonely and she knows me, to know I'll never learn my lesson She's pulling at my heart, bending all the strings In parallel lines, I'm confined, I can't sing Mixed up my pitch, my notes, my thoat, it stings The rest of me is strong, but I just can't protect this thing The phones off the hook, while I find the right self-help book To cure my, insecurities, I've got this whole shelf full My composition's like choc-o-late, my self-esteem is meltable My disposition is semi-sweet, well-being's not so healthful I wasn't always like this, shit got changed when You said you'd change my life & just stained it A spotlight on my life, you'd be famous I'm aimless I can't adjust to changes Life was a symphony I was so well tuned Never imagined I'd be visiting hell soon You booby trapped a tomb and I fell through I feel so numb, but I felt you If we never had contact, maybe I'd survive But I'm stuck here on contract, sucked into your life Can't combat those eyes, wishing I were blind So I can finally leave you, leave me, alone, goodbye [Bridge 2] These last few weeks, I'm on top of game But whenever I hear your name, time stops, heart drops Dating again is just a blend of more of the same It's not a complaint, its a warning, move on These last few weeks, I'm on top of game But whenever I hear your name, time stops, heart drops Dating again is just a blend of more of the same It's not a complaint, its a warning
