courtney barnett - pedestrian at best lyrics

[verse 1]
i love you, i hate you, i’m on the fence, it all depends
whether i’m up or down, i’m on the mend, transcending all reality
i like you, despise you, admire you
what are we gonna do when everything all falls through?
i must confess, i’ve made a mess of what should be a small success
but i digress, at least i’ve tried my very best, i guess
this, that, the other, why even bother?
it won’t be with me on my deathbed, but i’ll still be in your head

[chorus]
put me on a pedestal and i’ll only disappoint you
tell me i’m exceptional, i promise to exploit you
give me all your money, and i’ll make some origami, honey
i think you’re a joke, but i don’t find you very funny

[verse 2]
my internal monologue is saturated -n-log
it’s scratched and drifting, i’ve become attached to the idea
it’s all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy
i’ve got no idea how i even got here
i’m resentful, i’m having an existential time crisis
want bliss, daylight savings won’t fix this mess
under-worked and over-s-xed, i must express my disinterest
the rats are back inside my head, what would freud have said?

[verse 3]
i wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide
i dislike this internal diatribe when i try to catch your eye
i hate seeing you crying in the kitchen
i don’t know why it affects me like this when you’re not even mine to consider
erroneous, harmonious, i’m hardly sanctimonious
dirty clothes, i suppose we all outgrow ourselves
i’m a fake, i’m a phoney, i’m awake, i’m alone
i’m homely, i’m a scorpio

put me on a pedestal and i’ll only disappoint you
tell me i’m exceptional, i promise to exploit you
give me all your money, and i’ll make some origami, honey
i think you’re a joke, but i don’t find you very funny
