It’s like standing on a rooftop
With the world spinning ‘round below
No matter how long that you’re gone
I’m always going to be about to cry
Love is a 72 hour call
At least it is for me
It’s just distant intimacy
I would do anything
I would do anything for this
Please don’t break my heart even though I deserve it
I want to get lost inside your eyes
But that is just a fantasy you really shouldn’t be taking me seriously
You want to get lost inside my insides
When people leave
I often get the feeling that they’re never coming back
So I’ll slit my wrists in the cutest way
If you don’t respond to me
I’ll kill myself
If you don’t respond to me
I’ll kill myself
When people leave
I often get the feeling that they’re never coming back
So I’ll slit my wrists in the cutest way
If you don’t respond to me
I’ll kill myself
If you don’t respond to me
I’ll kill myself

I wake to the sound of your voice some nights
And I think my future is so far away from me
So I have no need to run
When I awake (when I awake)
From this dream (after years of sleep)
You can hold my hand and (I’ll see you standing there)
Take me away (standing and waiting)
Hold my hand and take my breath away
It may be for you but it’s just not for me
This ugly world with which you want to save
I do not understand
When I awake (when I awake)
From this dream (after years of sleep)
You can hold my hand and (I’ll see you standing there)
Take me away (standing and waiting)
You make my head spin
Fall apart into a whirlwind
I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing
I just crave your attention
I’m pointed out as
Some fag in the corner of the room
I’ve lied to you (If this is betrayal)
But I take it all back (then why does it feel so good)
You’re all I need (Why do you feel so right with me)
So take me, I’m yours (I think I know)

If there’s a problem you can’t solve
Throw your body at the problem
And if you hate your body, well
You can dance your pain away, bottle it down and smash it against the counter
And if it doesn’t break
And it’s two years that I don’t regret, ‘cause it beats being alone and bored to death
But it also beats me up inside, I’m not sure what I have left
If there’s a problem you can’t solve (All it takes)
Throw your body at the problem (Is a nightmare or one mistake)
And if you hate your body, well (And babe, I’ve been sleeping for so long)
You can dance your pain away, bottle it down and smash it against the counter
And if it doesn’t break
And it’s two years that I don’t regret, ‘cause it beats being alone and bored to death
But it also beats me up inside, I’m not sure what I have left
When the war starts, I’ll keep waiting
I’ll be there when bombs are raining
Down (oh)
I have a fear of being alone
That made it hard to let you go
Fucking around
And fucking it up
And giving up
When the going gets tough
Running away
As if that even mattered
I know that I can’t run from you
You do too much to help me
And when you told me
That no one else would ever love me
And no one else would ever put up with my
Endless emotional bullshit
I just learned how to cope with this
You can dance your pain away, bottle it down and smash it against the counter
And if it doesn’t break
And it’s two years that I don’t regret, ‘cause it beats being alone and bored to death
But it also beats me up inside, I’m not sure what I have left

Oh well, he doesn’t like me
So I’ll, try to get lost
My love I think I’m burning down
And I’m so scared of losing you
And I hope all your wishes come true
That is, if you wish for me I mean
Come on, it’s the kind of
Nail-biting fairy tail love story
That you might see in a movie
And when you leave the theater
You would question the character’s motives
And you would be right in doing so
I’m a mess really
And I’m a danger to the people around me
But when I’m with you oh I get so high
I thought I saw you on the side of the road last night (thought I saw you on the side of the road)
I have to admit, it took me by surprise (It took me by surprise)
So please don’t ask me how I’m feeling (I’m feeling alright)
When I get upset for silly reasons and start to cry

And if I can’t make you mine by the end of the year
I’m starting to think that I might give up completely
And I don’t know why
I can’t remember the things that you’ve told me
But I’m starting to think that I might want you forever
But I don’t wanna freak you out or make me lose my head
Fuck sertraline
You’re the only drug I need to get me out of bed
In heaven there’s a table
Where I still sit alone
So I’ll go and take all
My things and go
Fuck off and take all the pain
So you can just forget me
‘Cause I’m forgetting you
And when I’m with you all the stars in the sky
They just look like tiny dots painted in white
And I feel strong as a star
When I think about you
But in all of the little moments where I’ve seen you smile
I feel at peace
That’s all I want
That’s all I need
In heaven there’s a table
Where I still sit alone
So I’ll go and take all
My things and go
Fuck off and take all the pain
So you can just forget me
‘Cause I’m forgetting you

I don’t want to say
That you’re my every reason for living
‘Cause that is a huge burden to carry
And I don’t know how you would react
So I’ll just stay
White lies, saying goodbye
A good girl who takes her shoes off, when she
Steps inside
Of the seventh floor of the
Parking garage, and climbs up on the ledge
And a love like this
Might only happen once every thousand
Years, how would I know
I’m no expert on loving
I’m an expert on being used like a toy
And getting thrown away
-Guitar solo
All I want
Is to move my hands through your hair
And feel you pressed up against me
Piecing together our lives like a jigsaw
Puzzle
I’m so scared
Of saying the wrong thing
You’re so perfect
But there’s something in your eyes
Light traveling from distant stars
To watch us lay in this field together
It’s quite the event
So I’ll do everything
To make sure that you feel special
I’ll do everything
To make sure you feel loved

I saw her at the supermarket last week and I thought I might cry
It took all that courage just for me to not ever go outside ever again in my lifetime
She gets what she wants, she knows what she wants, and she has no time for you
But everything is all alright, you don’t need her
It’s a long drive to get to where I’m headed
I know that when we pack our bags and
Personally, I couldn’t give a fuck
What you when on to do with your life but
That might just be me being cold
So I’ll wait ‘till it’s winter to use that language
So now that it’s all over, is a retrospective due
Or can I just forget about all of this
Babe, it’s not too late
To leave everything behind, just like that
As if we had anything anyways
‘Cause you know that’s a lie
I think I spent long enough waiting for things to change
I don’t care whose fault it was, I don’t care if you blame me I’m just glad it’s over
Babe, it’s not too late
To leave everything behind, just like that
As if we had anything anyways
‘Cause you know that’s a lie

Like a sock without a mate
Feeling as helpless as all hell, plus
I can’t even feel your warmth, fuck
It only gets better when you’re near
And I don’t want to close my eyes if it’s just gonna be another nightmare
And you don’t wanna lose your head, but in that case I’ll give you head
Theres an absence of stars in the sky and That represents where you’ve gone but
I know it won’t be long, yeah I know it won’t be long until we
Get out of this hole with everything I’ve ever known trapped inside its boundaries
And rid ourselves of all this pain that we’ve held on to and I say
Why, why, why
Why am I still here
Why, why

I am running out of things to say
I’m much too happy to be writing sad songs, or any song at all for that matter
But I know there’s a grave for me to lie in someday
And that feeling drives me along
Counter melodies, walking out to sea walking out to see where you are
So is this what it means to be star, take your hands off my waist and we can sleep in the car
Holding my hand inside of the burger king bathroom, a place where I don’t know what is real
I’m not really sure what to think of this Is this a sign of what true loving
Is, they’ll tell you that there’s no such thing as
Too many dreams
But they’re lying, don’t be swayed, don’t be swayed, don’t be swayed
If there’s anything left unsaid after 45 minutes of yapping
I’d like to apologize, I promise I’m not always this helpless
And theres a deep feeling of unfulfillment inside of me
I don’t feel confident in my own abilities to do anything
Counter melodies, walking out to sea walking out to see where you are
So is this what it means to be star, take your hands off my waist and we can sleep in the car
Holding my hand inside of the burger king bathroom, a place where I don’t know what is real
I’m not really sure what to think of this Is this a sign of what true loving
Is, they’ll tell you that there’s no such thing as
Too many dreams
But they’re lying, don’t be swayed, don’t be swayed, don’t be swayed
Counter melodies, walking out to sea, walking out to see where you are
So is this what it means to be star, take your hands off my waist and we can sleep in the car
Holding my hand inside of the burger king bathroom, a place where I don’t know what is real
I’m not really sure what to think of this Is this a sign of what true loving
Is, they’ll tell you that there’s no such thing as
Too many dreams
But they’re lying, don’t be swayed

Last week we got caught within a rainstorm
It got so bad we sought shelter in a local walmart
And sitting down on the concrete floor speaking for an hour
I thought for a second
Hummingbirds and honeybees remind me of you, just like everything else
Seeing nothing but daisies as we lie in the damp morning grass
I pick up on a scent that reminds me of the way you smell
I’ll pick flowers for you, so please don’t think I’m inadequate
Intrusive thoughts are always just snapshots of you in my
Mind, so please don’t think I’m inadequate
Dandelions smell like pesticides, but I still need you by my side
As if not for you, who would I hold in my arms? They’d feel a cactus in comparison
Not to say that I have nothing else, but I don’t know who I could confide
When I have panic attacks and my dreams don’t come true
I’m starved, robbed of purity, and beaten, just holding out for
You
Hold my hand and feel me up just out of the blue, that’d be a dream
I’ve never felt confident in my own body
So it’s nice that you feel confidence when you’re in my body
I’ve got flowers for you, so please don’t think I’m inadequate
Confirming all of your suspicions, with all this indecision
It’s just going to turn out just fine
Dandelions smell like pesticides, but I still need you by my side
As if not for you, who would I hold in my arms? They’d feel a cactus in comparison
Not to say that I have nothing else, but I don’t know who I could confide
When I have panic attacks and my dreams don’t come true
I’m starved, robbed of purity, and beaten, just holding out for
You

For a second
I was with you alone
And the worst will waste away
For our dreams can’t hold us down
Everything I want
Lays down between
Your nightstand and the
Wall adjacent to your bed
Between the fragments in time
When I don’t know what is real
The sound of you sleeping
Is all the good in the world
I am stranded
Lost without a purpose, so
Fall, fall, fall into me
On the verge of tears
And in this despair
Is this something that I can cling to?
But what is love
If not all we have is
Love

Writing petty songs about how much I miss you
When you’re gone for half an hour to five
Hours, but then I look at these lyrics and
Laugh because I am so happy that
this is my biggest problem how
It used to be when and how
I’m going to kill myself
But nowadays its just spending seconds not in your presence
Isn’t that funny?
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Taking these pills to make me feel better
Spending the night in an hour with you
But that’s all I need, and that’s that

O, God of cruelty why must you be so cruel
For the pain, for the hurt, for God maybe, but most of all,
For the way you look so pretty when you look at me
And I cry (isn’t it beautiful, isn’t it beautiful, isn’t it beautiful) while you put your hands on your dick
You made all of the starts in the sky so far away
Lying on the roof of my parents house (staring at the night sky)
Diamonds reflecting off of raindrops (as they sprinkle down)
God‘s disappeared and won’t be coming back in our lifetimes (won’t be coming back)
I don’t want you to be like that at all (be like that at all)
So if you get tired (when you get tired)
You can fall asleep on my shoulders (fall asleep on my shoulders)
When you feel lost (when you feel lost)
We’ll find a way together
It was never my intention to hurt you or make your life worse
But you can’t just keep the world to yourself, you have to take mine too
I can’t give everything to everyone, that used to terrify me
But you’re the only one who needs my everything
For a second there I thought I had you (all to myself)
But I know that it wasn’t very helpful
I stress myself out all the time
Trying to make you feel good
I might get lost in the rubble (that we made)
While all of this is breaking down (around me)
But as long as I get lost with you
I think it’s o-kay
None of us have anything, but that doesn’t involve us
We take whatever we can get from the hand that feeds us, and the rest of that shit gets thrown away
If you had slightly more faith and you could be living a life of luxury
But you’re more worried about the food that you eat, and the women you fuck
Than you ever will be about your own well being so I say to you,
“You can cross me if you wish but don’t you dare take your eyes off of me after”
So trust your gut, do what feels right but watch your back and sleep with a gun when you sleep at night
Let’s take a trip away
I guess we could go upstate
I don’t you to ever leave
And you’re not even here yet
I wanna get high in your car
I wanna meet your mom
I love you so much I want to cry when you’re gone
But please don’t hold that against me
