I'm bad at leaving you
You're not good at being left
I still believe in you
And all the promises you kept
But it's a long fall from up here
And it's not right
To tell me I can't sleep somewhere else
Tonight
I search for clarity
Through the stained glass of your mind
You're seeking charity
In all the places I can't find
It's a long fall from up here
And it's not right
To tell me I can't sleep somewhere else
Tonight
It's a long fall from up here
How'd it get so high
The air slowly thins
But still no sky

Our Friends Don't Know

Everybody's got a little something going on
In their lives
That nobody knows about
So don't drown me
I can't breathe anymore
I used to hide my agony with melody
Sometimes when she yells at me
I just pretend to go to sleep
While she's flailing her arms and screams
Slapping me and throwing things
I turn inside and start to sing
I just want it
How it used to be
I take two bites of my food
And then I'm feeling full
I can't remember the last time
I felt so horrible
I used to be full of vigor
Not anxiety
I want this out of me
Can't even tell if I want it
How it used to be
Everybody's got a little something
Going on in their lives
That nobody knows about

I'm So Lonely (With You)
04:08
|

|
The only time you ever ask me out
Is to apologize
Cause you've been hanging out
Spending time
With other guys
I'm so lonely
With you
What if I told you that I found someone
Someone who satisfies
That I can finally see the stars again
Just in someone else's eyes
I'm so lonely
With you
And now she's gone, but you're still at home
And my bed is feeling like a tombstone
I'm so lonely
With you

I am awake, my eyes are open
For the first time
In a long time
The sun warms my face
Your touch excites my arm
Your smile clears the fog
Our kiss breaks my car
I am awake, my eyes are open
Please wake next to me

There's no second place
For the lines that you trace
And your words are the contrast
Of dark clouds and sunshine
After a storm
I stare at the screen, hopefully
I swipe but there's nothing there to see
It used to be the thing I looked most forward to
But now nothing on my phone really matters
Because you don't write me no more
I've so much to do
But I'm thinking of you
I know that's a problem
But my lizard brain's
Having trouble complying
My situation is so wrong
Although we both knew it
We pressed on
And now you're gone
And I don't know what to do
Nothing on my phone really matters
Because I don't hear from you

Goodnight, My Baby

Goodnight, my baby
Goodnight, my darling
Goodnight, my baby
Goodnight, my love
Lay down your head
And think of me tonight
Know that I will be dreaming of you
And as the hours pass
The waiting seems so small
When we sleep through
The time we aren't together
Goodnight, my baby
Goodnight, my darling
Goodnight, my baby
Goodnight, my love

Everything You Wanted
02:27

Why so angry, boy?
You got everything you wanted
She sits while you make her tea
She sleeps while you play your games
She comes when you call to her
She does everything you want
She does nothing at all
Why walk past me, boy?
You got everything you wanted
Your words did their work on me
The streets at night are empty
There's no one that she's calling to for comfort
All you had to do was tell her
What she felt
And coil your tears
Around her neck
For control

Four Seconds

You passed me on the street today
And I didn't feel anything.
Your eyes don't swallow me anymore
(That is a lie)
Your mouth does not reveal hidden worlds
(I'm lying)
There are no colors surrounding you
Four seconds cannot enrapture me
I can't remember the smell of you
And I don't think of you often
(I'm lying)
You told me things would have to change
But you're even farther now
Why did you touch me so tenderly?
(Was that a lie?)
Why did you run from desire?
(Why?)
Why did you say that you loved me?
Four seconds
Four seconds
Why am I seeing you suddenly
When I am trying to forget you?
You passed me on the street today
And I didn't feel anything
I'll keep on driving
