Really Big Shrimp

I didn't expect to think
 The soundtrack for too many beers
 Seven songs in two years
 And somehow you're not bored yet
 Forgive my apprehension
 I just wanna keep this safe
 That's forty ounces of faith
 And not a drop was poured yet
 That's why I say
 Love? Don't give me that
 Till I can give you something back
 Why would I say no?
 To my dream from forever ago
 You want me to get up and go?
 Allow me to pull back the curtain
 There's a couch with my name on it
 In front of my face, a phone
 In front of my "body" a "home"
 A life where consistency is certain
 That's why I say
 Love? Don't give me that
 Till I can give you something back
 No proof in tact
 Won't have me sold and I will
 Fold myself in half
 Before I snap and I will hold
 Myself to that
 Until I give you something back
 I cleared the bar I set
 What more could I achieve?
 I know this room so well that I'm afraid to leave
 I just wanna cut my teeth a few more times
 Keep away from tempting signs
 Make no friends and take no risks
 So no one gets to fuck with this
 Love? Don't give me that
 Till I can give you something back
 No proof in tact
 Won't have me sold and I will
 Fold myself in half
 Before I snap and I will hold
 Myself to that
 Until I give you something back
 Love? Don't give me that
 Till I can give you something back
 No proof in tact
 Won't have me sold and I will
 Fold myself in half
 Before I snap and I will hold
 Myself to that
 Until I give you something back
 Love? Don't give me that
 Till I can give you something back
 No proof in tact
 Won't have me sold and I will
 Fold myself in half
 Before I snap and I will hold
 Myself to that
 I cherish a time
 When nobody paid attention
 And I sang and I played and I vented
 And twenty-five people shrugged
 I cherish my life
 Before the sudden potential
 For twenty-five minutes I'm special
 As soon as they're over I'm not
