woke up from a nightmare
I wanna forget
but that poisoned dream
plays on in my head
a two-story house
a bands playing loud
and you're gone
you're nowhere to be found
easy to say
harder to do
our love was a lie
but I miss you
so I'll call you up
cause I'm feeling hated
you reach out to me
for validation
we say we moved on
but we're wrong
we're just floating along
on empty relations
I feel like Cher
when I walk through the halls
they all know my name
but I still feel this hole
on weekends we drink
and leave words unsaid
then at home, I'm alone
I need you in my bed
easy to say
harder to do
I feel like shit
when I kiss you
so I'll call you up
cause I'm feeling hated
you reach out to me
for validation
we say we moved on
but we're wrong
we're just floating along
on empty relations
and I'll tell you what
I don't give a fuck
have breakfast with her
cause I'm just not enough
you're weak in the knees
you beg and you plead
two lousy friends
until you text me again

Now

right now, makes me wonder bout'
what the future holds
and if I'll still be holding on to
all those, jagged stones
does this future scare you?
I whisper in the dark
to you, or maybe what was you
what I know is not a lot
and I'd like to write a song for you
and sing it when alone
cause these thoughts they seem to
never quite atone
I'll just text you late at night
when my thinking hogs the air
and having you right next to me
is all I want to bear
and I'd like to write a song for you
and sing it when alone
cause these thoughts they seem to
never quite atone
and I'd like to write a song for you
and sing it when alone
cause these thoughts they seem to
never quite atone

do you want to see the things I make
or feel comfort in just laying out?
can I make you want to see me like
the way, I wish to see you now?
will you meet me halfway?
is it all on me?
I'm still working on us
so you can
call me the night
call me the day
I'll forever be around
but if one day
I don't come knocking
maybe the world grew too loud
I want to take you to see the things
that have given me so much hope
will care enough to do the same
or just, follow in tow
don't say yes
show me what lies below
you're just a mirror
this reflections getting old
call me the night
call me the day
I'll forever be around
but if one day
I don't come knocking
maybe the world grew too loud
call me the night
call me the day
I'll forever be around
but if one day
I don't come knocking
the world grew too loud

Light Leak

there are times I'll think of you as just light leaks on
film from that night when your face glowed blue and red
are there reasons for your sadness?
or do they just come along
do you not want to talk about
what keeps you at home?
every time I say it's good, it's gone
every time I try, I try way too hard
I come around, and start to wonder why
everything has a moment when it happens for the last time
you stayed smiling while your friends ran around the house
you were never one to look at eyes that night you took me in
who could say, what could have been
if the cops hadn't just walked in
so I'll just think about the blocks we'd walk
I'd like to walk with you again
every time I say it's good, it's gone
every time I try, I try way too hard
I come around, and start to wonder why
everything has a moment when it happens for the last time

I Am Hosting a Party
05:11
|
|||
|
the lights are all on
sort of dim, just a little bit
the floor is vibrating just
bodies listening to "Bodys"
the music up here is playing slower
I can hear you talk
I'm always stuck on the past
you always look way further
I say you don't need to
do hard drugs every time you get sad
you say I don't need to worry about you
anymore
there's vibrating above us now
even in this one story house
the neighbors will come around
I don't care, I won't kick em' out
but that was then
there are times when I wish it was now
I don't need more friends
you should never leave this couch
you asked if I remembered
the first time it was that we met
I remember your friend holding a paper bag
up to her mouth
you apologized for everything
even smiled when I asked your name
I knew what was happening
I cracked the door, just a little bit
there's crashing and banging
somethings always breaking on these nights
the tv, the table, mugs from old friends
its a problem for the morning light
I see a fire in you now
you don't bother to put it out
it's not of lust or love
no, this one is gonna burn down the house
but that was then
there are times when I wish it was now
I don't need more friends
you should never leave this couch
I'll stay with you
the way you want me to
but don't walk away
I'm asking you to stay
I'll stay with you
the way you want me to
but don't walk away
I'm asking you to stay
