Right after the honeymoon period, you start to learn about your partner's flaws and how to work towards compromise, letting small things that bother you go because you have to pick your battles otherwise there'd be too many things to fight about all the time.

lyrics

[Verse 1]

How many times do I have to go through
Square one
How many easter eggs will I find
It's not that kind of fun

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I know it's not on you
And I know it's in the past
But still, it gets me, like indigestion,
When I eat too fast

[Chorus 1]

Well I'll just sit and wait, and eat and hate
Until this feeling's gone
There is no cure, no right solution
I just have to move on
When the time comes I'll be fine again
I just hope that this won't repeat again
But one can only hope

[Verse 2]

How many thoughts do I have to think
Before I stop thinking about it?
Is this moving forward? Backward? Sideways?
Maybe it's time to quit?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I still know it's not on you
And I know it's in the past
But still, it gets me, like when
My period's late from stress

[Chorus 2]

Well I'll just sit and wait, and eat and hate
Until this feeling's gone
There is no cure, no right solution
I just have to move on
When the time comes I'll be fine again
I just hope that this won't repeat again
But one can only hope

[Bridge]

Okay, I think I got it this time
But who's to say that it'll be the last time
Well, one can only hope

[Stacking]
One can only hope, oh
Sit and wait, and eat and hate, and
Oos

[Chorus 3]

Well I'll just sit and wait, and eat and hate
Until this feeling's gone
There is no cure, no right solution
I just have to move on
When the time comes I'll be fine again
I just hope that this won't repeat again
But one can only hope
