Jimmy Eat World - Damage lyrics

I want someone who lives up to
This grandeur in my head
And you don’t do much to sell me
I’d be best with you instead
I hate the way I feel
But I don’t think I can change
I just breathe you each day

Are we only damaging the little we have left?
Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess
Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?
To honestly connect?

A lot of time’s been wasted
Putting off doing the work
If we both step up to own it
Then I’ll take what’s coming first
Of everything you say
It’s the truth that really hurts
But how could that be worse?

I’ll say when I’m ready
You’ll know when I’m ready when I’m ready
(are we only damaging, damaging)
