Confessions Of Ambivalence

"You make me want to fight, you make me want to stay"

[Verse 1] [quiet, almost spoken, sparse guitar] I should start by saying I don’t know why I’m here I don’t know what to call this thing I feel There are days I wake up and the thought of you is warm And days I can’t stand the sound of your name at all

[Verse 2][quiet, almost spoken, sparse guitar] When we met I saved your number under something mean Just so I’d remember not to answer when you ring But Yesterday I was laughing at a joke you made in May And I stayed there in that memory for half the day

[Pre Chorus] Is this love or is this hate I feel like standing on the edge of a cliff? I don’t know what I’m holding onto, I just know I’m not ready to lose

[Chorus][music builds with the confusion, more drums] You make me want to fight, you make me want to stay You’re the reason that I leave, the reason I came I’ve written you a hundred things I never sent Things I wanna say and things I regret I am Ambivalent

[Verse 4][full band, peak emotional tension] So here’s my confession, for whatever it’s worth I orbit you like something with no gravity of its own I push and I pull and I circle and I ache And I don’t know if that’s love Or if that’s just what I’ve become

[Verse 6] [strips back down, final lines almost whispered, ends unresolved] Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up and finally know Maybe I’ll delete you and mean it this time Maybe the feeling will land on one side of the line

[Pre Chorus] Is this love or is this hate I feel like standing on the edge of a cliff? I don’t know what I’m holding onto, I just know I’m not ready to lose

[Chorus][music builds with the confusion, more drums] You make me want to fight, you make me want to stay You’re the reason that I leave, the reason I came I’ve written you a hundred things I never sent Things I wanna say and things I regret I am Ambivalent

[Guitar Solo][Off Beat]

[Outro - dead quiet, single note] I should end by saying I don’t know why I’m here I don’t know what to call this thing I feel There are days I wake up and the thought of you is warm And days I can’t stand the sound of your name at all…

I am Ambivalent I am Ambivalent I am Ambivalent
