Acceptance

I won't learn nothing.
It's all your job to teach me
When I don't wanna learn.
Of course I love you.
I love all the parts you hate,
And I hate the parts you love.
I've only had seven months
To get this through my head.
It's a long road to acceptance
When you're not even trying,
When saying that you want to
Means more than actually doing it.
It's a long road to acceptance
When you don't want acceptance,
All you want is someone to control.
I'm gonna argue.
It's all new to me, but I know better.
You haven't thought this through.
I'll look up information online,
Just on Fox News and TERF websites.
Tell me everything you know
So I can tell you how you're wrong.
I've only had seven months
To get this through my head.
It's a long road to acceptance
When you're not even trying,
When saying that you want to
Means more than actually doing it.
It's a long road to acceptance
When you don't want acceptance,
All you want is someone to control.

After Work

Come meet me after work.
Nobody else here looks like we do.
Let's stick around and pretend.
Let's make them turn their heads when we kiss.
What am I doing here?
Can I afford to walk through these doors?
Does everybody see?
Do they all know I don't belong here?
We'll take what we can get.
We'll never give another inch.
No matter what they put here,
This place is ours as much as it's theirs.

Astrology

Sometimes it feels like I'm
The only one in the world who doesn't get it.
When you talk about your sign,
I can't help but sit there with a glazed look in my eye.
Is there anybody else,
Anyone at all who relates?
Or am I fooling myself,
After all this time, I'm straight.
So oh oh oh, can I still be gay
If I don't believe that my birthday
Says anything about who I am as a person?
And oh oh oh, would you still love me
If your horoscope said it's not meant to be,
Or would you pack your bags and walk away?
With mercury in retrograde,
I got kicked out of my house.
And then with mercury in retrograde,
I got it all figured out.
It's almost like the world keeps spinning,
Day after day.
Or maybe that's just
What a scorpio would say.
So oh oh oh, can I still be gay
If I don't believe that my birthday
Says anything about who I am as a person?
And oh oh oh, would you still love me
If your horoscope said it's not meant to be,
Or would you pack your bags and walk away?
I'm not some logical, rational, know-it-all
Person who thinks she's better than anyone else,
I just don't think
That the stars or mars or mercury care about us,
And if you do that's fine, I don't mind,
But I don't, and I hope that's okay,
And you'll still love me anyway.
So oh oh oh, can I still be gay
If I don't believe that my birthday
Says anything about who I am as a person?
And oh oh oh, would you still love me
If your horoscope said it's not meant to be,
Or would you pack your bags and walk away?

Limit To Your Love

On any given day, a kid goes out alone,
Leaving home for the last time.
She may get through it, but she'll never be the same.
If only they knew, then they wouldn't be this way.
She lives off these little lies.
It's just like what they tell themselves so they can sleep at night.
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
The car pulls in and she hides her things away.
"They'll never understand," she says.
One day she'll run away and leave them all behind.
She puts on another face and goes to say hello.
Today she'll be their little boy.
One day she'll see the day when she's their little girl.
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?
Is there a limit to your love?

Sam's an incredible artist with some of the best lyrics I've ever heard!

Steph can do sappy love songs just as well as he does angry hard rock, and the lyrics always come out super relatable. And listen for me on "Siren Song"!
