i've been waiting in my brand new clothes
waiting for yr car to come pull up
take me home, inside my room
we can watch adventure time
and i could stare into yr eyes
or maybe grip the bedsheets tight
i wanna get you really high
and take you on an hour's drive
the more i think, the less i know
about the things i love the most
my mind is just two steps behind
so let's just hang another time
i could buy you another nose
if that's really all you want
lana del rey is fucking tight
lana del rey is fucking tight
hang on, my mouth is really dry
so let's just hang another time
i'm having lunch with suicide,
so i can hang some other time.

Grocery Store Heart
02:23
|

staying up doing nothing feels better than doing anything else
for the sake of my broken heart i don't dare to catch a glimpse of yr earrings on my window sill
last night at the grocery store, i swore i heard that airy laugh of your's
so i crashed my cart into the candy aisle and looked around to find you
you weren't even home this weekend
i guess my mind is playing tricks on me again
and you could've spent a fortnight
yeah, you could've spent the year
and i'd move into yr apartment
if it meant that i could get away from here
but money's tight
and yr boyfriend doesn't like me so it's fine
sometimes when i'm lonely, i just drown the voices out with the cartoons on the tv
anytime it gets late at night, it's the only thing that keeps me from dwelling on the bad things
like how at the grocery store, i swore i saw that golden hair of your's
i forgot how to breathe, i turned and sank into the center of my skull
but you don't even live in this state
i don't know why i'm losing sleep over this shit
and i could've spent the night
and you could've let me in
and i'd move into yr apartment
if it meant that i could be yr friend again
but my heart is fried
and you'll fuck me over just another time
and yr boyfriend's such a dick, i've changed my mind
if you don't love me anymore, that's fucking fine.

i almost got over you last night
with a 40 and a joint in hand
but i remembered how you smiled
how you made it really hard to stand up straight
then i felt sick and i returned to where i came from
oh, this bed supports my weight
but it won't touch me like you used to do last year
i wanna get over you tonight
but i can't take this told slant album off repeat
the one with the tree
depression takes my head, it sinks down to my feet
just look at me, while you're out getting drunk i'm trying to fall asleep
and i agree, though i need you, you'll never ever need me
i have to see you tomorrow night
but i don't know how i'm gonna get through it
because no matter how hard i try, i'll force myself to think again
about everything all over again
i guess i'll just have to pretend we're fine
if you ever wanna die
just remember that i love you still
and if you ever don't feel fine
just remember that i love you still
and if it ever don't feel right
just remember that i love you still
i know these things just take some time
but i remember that you fucking changed my life.

Nocturnal

i swear i see you, standing in my doorway
every time i wake up, three in the morning
freestyling excuses about how you need to
borrow a blanket or get out of yr house this weekend
i won't remember when it's noon today so just tell me when the sun's out
so while you lay there, counting up yr blessings
and twirling the corner of my pillow with yr fingertips
just know that this doesn't make me happy
because i know that things will never ever stay like this
i'm pretty sure you just said that you love me
i can't take it just tell me when the sun's out
please take the lead and tell me what you want
i've been trying to figure you out like all night
and all i think about when i close my eyes is
the way you tucked yr hand under my shoulderblade
i'm sorry that i don't know what you want
please have this conversation when the sun's out
i've kinda noticed that nothing ever works out
things just always get so weird when we hangout when the sun's down.

everyone is in the bathroom, smoking cigarette and talking shit
about the bands they played with last weekend
i know you know i know you really hate when i eavesdrop in
on your silly, stupid, pointless conversations
now i've got a funeral to go to
i've got a car i need to fix
but i couldn't budget if my life depended on it
so i'll work another and hate everyone i work with
i can't stand all of these people, myself included...
i was fucking up with god when i realized i was dying
so i stitched myself back up, but the blood just kept on running
i was awake and unafraid when i first found my sense of shame
and now there's no left to blame, i swear i'm going straight insane
keep my fist clamped in a ball, i left a hole inside her wall
i wrote an album about you, don't think it really helped at all
when she first asked me where i was, no mention of the scars or cuts
i wrote an album about you, you're just about the only cause.

and start dumb fights on twitter.

Haunt Song

uh oh, i'm delusional
i find it difficult to stay afloat
oh no, she's beautiful
but i won't talk to her
she'll walk all over me
but she won't mean to, necessarily
i have not been known
to be the type to let things go
she will never know
how i felt about her in her summer clothes
she really took my breath away the way she walked down to the shore that day
she still feels like a ghost
her voice is present to me alone
and i still feel like a ghost
because i am a ghost
i'm on my own.

Footprint
02:41
|
|||
|
there's still a footprint in the road
adjacent to yr house from when they first had started paving
and every time i see it, i never can believe it
i feel the walls of my heart begin to cave in
because when i was fourteen, i had low self esteem
you were the only thing i wanted, the only thing i needed
i tried to find out where you were
but no one knew which way you'd turned
you could be dead from doing heroin
or on yr way to church
i don't know nothing
about anything
i think there might be something off inside my head
there's bad vibes flowing through all the memories
all the time i spent in bed
or all the time i wasted making promises
i crossed my fingers, you crossed your legs
and then you walked out of my life, an open end
so if you come back this december, let me know
or else i'll never know
there's still a footprint on my wall
a dent you left behind when we hungout in the fall
and every time i see it, i swear i almost feel it
the weight of you and me against the wall
because when i was fifteen, you were living down the street
i wasn't finding any comfort in the fact that you were leaving
i wanted me to be your home
so we could finally be alone
but i was scared of letting go of you
you had problems of your own
i missed my chance once
down in yr basement
you said "there's nothing i could do that would make sense"
i've been a coward all my life, but with you i swear i'm living
there's this comfort when i'm with you, that's just it
i kept my head down, you downed a beer
you say "i've gotta tell you something you don't wanna hear"
you say "i love you"
i say "i can't"...
fuck.

Sad Abt U
03:14

went on a date once
to the starbucks
down in greenbriar
but i don't think we hit it off
i told these jokes that i thought were charming
but in the end they really didn't do anything
and so i went
out to my car
and she came running, asked for a ride
she said, "i don't live too far"
and so we drove
and no one spoke
and i was dwelling on the things that she would say about me tomorrow
she told my friends
and my parents
that my best friend
she's a waitress
and she's been living
in north dakota
that was a story
that i had made up
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
so i got home
i changed my clothes
and then i went to take a shower but the water was too cold
and so i sat there
in the bathroom
and i debated if i should call you
but then i didn't
no, that would've been stupid
you were so over it and i wasn't
that would just make too much damn sense
you're with that new dude
the one who really loves you
no, i'm not bitter, i'm just saying
i won't forget what we went through
you told my friends
and my parents
that my best friend
was fucking stupid
and then i noticed
you were fucked up
and seconds later
i watched you throw up
but i remember
i wasn't sad
i wasn't happy
i wasn't mad
i wasn't tired
i was in love
but at the same time
i felt so numb
we haven't talked since
that kind of hurts
i miss yr fingers drawing circles in the dirt
while we were sitting
on your front lawn
i wouldn't trade that
for anything at all.

Yr Heart is Breaking
02:38
|

|
i remember standing on yr porch
getting impatient and bored
and getting ready to kick down the door
i remember sneaking in yr room
when yr parents weren't looking
so we could make out on yr floor
i remember taking lots of pills
just to get me through the day
when all i ever really needed was you
so if i feel like dying in the morning
could you be xanax for me too?
i was at yr back door
you were by the front door
pulling on the carpet
and talking to yrself
you barely remember
yr mom was in new hampshire
i was trying to be the one who gave some help
no one understands why
i'm having such a hard time
i don't really get why they can't just leave me alone
i need to go to bed now
before i fucking freak out
i wanna dream about you on the car ride coming home.

Blacklight
03:29
|
|||
|
there's candles lighted
down in yr basement
overwhelming
don't know where you went
late last night, i heard the front door open
ooh ooh
white lightning
strikes in the distance
overthinking
i feel self-conscious
i know where you've been the last few months
ooh ooh
there's a blacklight in
my parent's attic
we can use it
to forget what happened
to the candles we used to burn so bright
what happened?
|
||||
12. |

|
you've gotten over
the cold i gave you
when we made out
in yr basement
and yeah, i get it
you don't wanna get sick again
and things won't work out
oh, i ruin everything
don't forget yr car keys
next time around
it's not important
who are you to talk?
how about you sit down?
you're pretty fucked up
if i was bitter
do you think i'd tell you?
why does this hurt so much?
am i just another tool for you to use?
because i think too much about what we were and not about what we could be
and i would play the songs that you like, but i don't think you're listening
i listen from the shower
to her shuffling around my messy room
it's gotten better
since you left there hasn't really been much to do
so i cleaned my room out
out of pure boredom
or was it depression?
i still can't tell the difference.
