about

Recorded live at Cafe du Luxe in Denton, TX by PAO Productions.

lyrics

"You are everything that I wanted
You're one of a kind
There will never be another
You're all I had in mind"

You said you thought we were better together
You texted it to me
You said forever and ever and ever
But I guess you meant a week

And now I'm glad I didn't entertain
Your blind notions of fate and
That redhead on your Facebook page
Can step up to the plate
And the girl in the bikini
She can give you diving lessons for free
You know what I mean?

CHORUS
'Cause it's so obvious to me
This isn't where you wanted to be
I was much too climb and far too little view
You say it's robbery
That all your dream catchers are empty
But if you'd look inside, you'd see the truth
It's just a crisis of faith
You're finding mountains in craters
And the time that you're wasting is yours to lose
But it's so obvious to me
That I'm better without you

You were beautiful for awhile
An unexpected catch
Athletic figure with an impish smile
And blue eyes to match

You said that you'd always been independent
But you called me every day
And you'd get awfully passive aggressive
When things didn't go your way

And when you said you had a social life
You really meant your mother
And all your claims of apathy
Were really just a cover
And that hole that you'll be filling in
Next time you find a girlfriend looks like mine

CHORUS
'Cause it's so obvious to me
This isn't where you wanted to be
I was much too climb and far too little view
You say it's robbery
That all your dream catchers are empty
But if you'd look inside, you'd see the truth
It's just a crisis of faith
You're finding mountains in craters
And the time that you're wasting is yours to lose
But it's so obvious to me
That I'm better without you

You said you had the faith you'd never make me write a breakup tune
Well, I guess we were both mistaken
'Cause I put my faith in you

CHORUS
'Cause it's so obvious to me
This isn't where you wanted to be
I was much too climb and far too little view
You say it's robbery
That all your dream catchers are empty
But if you'd look inside, you'd see the truth
It's just a crisis of faith
You're finding mountains in craters
And the time that you're wasting is yours to lose
But it's so obvious to me
That I'm better without you
