I am selfish when I need you
I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room

Watch the sea turn away from the shore
And head back out the way that it came
If you were chasing your love you wanted enough
Then it's best just to walk away

Tell yourself your pride is just the same
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
Carry your head up along the way

You'll say you had the courage and it got to the hero
Even when they're on your side
Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone

I am selfish when I need you
I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write
And that's fine

Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting
I don't wanna move cause it's just enough
I don't wanna blink cause I might miss it
Tell me when it gets to be too much
Carry your head up along the way

You'll say you had the courage and it got to the hero
You tell me but he's on your side
We'll watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone

I am selfish when I need you
I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write
And that's fine

All we need is a place we can be alone
Just with you and with me
And without all this desperate weight that I have
All I want is to just be honest
You're the peace that I just found out I'm into
And I don't see you anymore

I am selfish when I need you
I am the blister inside of the wall in the back of your room
I am the envy of what you're afraid to write
And that's fine

You had the courage and it got to the hero
And everybody's on your side
We'll watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone
I just want to waste your time
