lyrics

I touch a phone screen to feel like anything
So does everyone I know
So free and lonely
So twenty-something
With our dating pools shallow and long

Maybe I didn’t notice that he was your kid
Maybe I'm just writing wrongs
With you in the bushes by the funeral home

Drowning in the deep end, not again
Could be another one gone
Another unwanted friend
Tripping through the deep end of the quickest sand
Another one gone
Another unwanted friend

Now there's a new street that needs avoiding
Another name my daughter won’t be called
The list is growing across my city
There's only so many postal codes
All these indie-Cindys
And crystal-Kennedys
Make it hard to stay at home
Am I just a bad seed hanging from your bed sheets?
If I am just tell me
I don't know

Drowning in the deep end not again
Could be another one gone

Another unwanted friend
Tripping through the deep end of the quickest sand
Another one gone
Another unwanted friend

Tell me am I just a bad seed
Hanging from your bedsheets?
If I am just tell me I don't know
