Roseboat - Number Ones Lyrics

Is it too much to ask
Someone watch over me
Is it to hard to figure me
Please do so carefully
I'm left out here alone
Don't let me drown in my thoughts
Of tripping down the flight of stairs
Again I can't get up
Is it too much to ask to be
Somebody's number one
The numbers fly by in my life
The ones always disguised
I'm left out here alone
The script's been copied many times
And somehow I can sense out
How everything will end and why
Why is it so difficult
For my ones to stick around
I'll wait a month or year or two
Until they turn the other way
Why is it so difficult
For them to stay with me
I'll raise them up on pedestals
When they wouldn't take a knee for me
What is worse
Holding a grudge
Or handing out
Unworthy second chances
To the number ones who hurt you the most
That's worse
'Cause those number ones will haunt you
And they'll captivate your thoughts
Long after you've lost them
They'll captivate your thoughts
Long after you've lost them
They'll captivate your thoughts
Long after you've lost
Why is it so difficult
For my ones to stick around
I'll wait a month or year or two
Until they turn the other way
Why is it so difficult
For them to stay with me
I'll raise them up on pedestals
When they, when they
Why is it so difficult
For my ones to stick around
I'll wait a month or year or two
Until they turn the other way
Why is it so difficult
For them to stay with me
I'll raise them up on pedestals
When they wouldn't take a knee for me
They'll captivate your thoughts
Long after you've lost them
