My Play - AJR

I put on a play in my old house

In my cape, jumpin' on the old couch

Puttin' up lights when it's cold out

Mom and Dad, both seats sold out

Show you my play

Haven't seen the old house lately

Wonder if they found my spaceship

I don't want my own love wasted

Tell me this is what you're sayin'

If you both outgrew one another

I could start now, lookin' for a lover

But if love dies, do I fuckin' bother?

I just really, really, really, really wanna

Show you my play

And I don't wanna do it for Dad

At Dad's new place

I worked really, really, really, really hard

Let me show you my play

And I don't wanna do it twice

'Cause it's not the same

I've been on dates, bringin' flowers

Tryna be great for an hour

You and me might go sour

But if we don't hold out, then we're cowards

I put on a play in my basement (Basement)

Mom and Dad, smilin' faces (Faces)

But now I don't know if they faked it (Faked it)

Guess everything is complicated

If you both outgrew one another

I could start now, lookin' for a lover

But if love dies, do I fuckin' bother?

I just really, really, really, really wanna

Show you my play

And I don't wanna do it for Dad

At Dad's new place

I worked really, really, really, really hard

Let me show you my play

And I don't wanna do it twice

'Cause it's not the same

You did everything, everything, everything that you could

We do everything, everything, everything 'til it's through

I'll do everything, everything, everything when I'm you

But when I show you my play

Will you pretend you didn't know

If I make a mistake?

It's gonna get really, really, really, really bad

Before it's okay

But maybe you'll forget it all

While you're watchin' my play
