Bored

Sara Kays

Tell me more about where you grew up
Do you think your folks are still in love?
What's the furthest distance you could run
If a bear was chasing you?
Tell me all about your thoughts on God
Do you think he's there or do you not?
Anything to keep the focus off of me

You should talk forever
'Cause the less I say, the better

I remember just last year
Spilled my hopes and fears
Then, he slammed that door
Didn't keep my thoughts inside
And it left me crying on the bathroom floor
I don't think I'm interesting enough
To keep this up, to keep your love
If I end my word count here
And I don't say more
Then, you can't get bored

You don't wanna know about my day
It was pretty boring, anyway
I don't even know what I would say
So, anyway, if you were alone and out at sea
And there were only three things you could bring
Would you bring a book? Would you bring me?

I just wanna make myself believe
(You won't get bored, you won't get bored)
But it would be a waste of energy
(To tell you more if you get bored)
So, keep the conversation off of me
(You won't get bored, you won't get bored)
(If I end my word count here
And I don't say more, then, you can't get bored)

You should talk forever
'Cause the less I say, the better
