(1-7-7-7) You're in my head, I'm on my couch While you're in his bed I'm thinking about Where we are and how we got here now You're in my bed I'm not sure how People get misplaced when I kick em around No more bad nights with droning thoughts I can't ignore I'm not sure what I actually look like a problem I've had since I was born Who said you needed friends to feed the fucking fire (ferret)? You don't give a damn about me, why would I need you when I could count on Swift bouts of anxiety to make my heart beat out of my chest It's safe to say I was lost But lost nothing I guess
2.
Caught out in the open for a change. Isn't it awful that we just stay the same? My heart is an open book, she says, "Where can I find you? I read it everyday. So calm down we're coming over Spend the rest of my life hiding under the couch Break down when it is over Sick from standing alone with the rest of the crowd Tell me now Isn't it awful that I had to go right when I needed you most? Calm down that is far enough my love Running in circles just trying to look tough In time you will see that I was right Living is easy when you're keeping out of sight So calm down we're coming over Spend the rest of my life hiding answers at night Break down when it is over Sick from standing alone with the rest of those types Tell me why Isn't it awful that I had to go right when I needed you most? She is like water in my lungs When I'm without her I can breathe easy So calm down we're coming over Spend the rest of my life hiding under the couch Break down when it is over Sick from standing alone with the rest of the crowd Tell me now Isn't it awful that I had to go right when you needed me most I had to go right when I needed you most

Where you going with my heart? Swimming after you I won't get too far Currents pulling me apart Again So says my heart You wanted something hard to lose you say But I ain't listenin Here for you until I go Where you taking me my love? Looking up to you, you come from above Spirits pulling at my heart Again So says my heart You wanted something hard to lose you say, But I ain't listenin Here for you until I go So says my heart You wanted something hard to lose you say, But I ain't listenin Here for you until I go

Dating 02:27
For the rest of the time I'll be writing down devised designs that make me better And I wanna make you mine I've been running on the line to find what you'd define as peace of mind I guess I must've lost mine Break me, take me out Wine me, dine me, throw me out Hug me, drug me, love me without a doubt I guess that's what it's about You're like an empty ocean A civilized explosion I wanna see you lose your head My body's bent and broken Bust back, beaten, burnin softly Break me, take me out Wine me, dine me, throw me out Hug me, drug me, love me without a doubt I guess that's what it's about (frantic howling)
5.
It was on a rainy day when my eyes opened and through the haze I saw your light yeah I was wrong but the water's been warm for way too long For way too long... And it was on a bed afraid where you end I laid and lost our place When you had left I was already gone checked out for the West we move along We move along... 'Cause there are things in life that I can't be sure of like if having pride is a good thing or a bad thing I think it's a bad thing Shot down was it everything you hoped for Shut up, I just really had to let you know Tough love, all I ever really asked for Everything I need and more Yeah you have got to go And it was on a starry night when the clouds fled and everything felt right In my head, it'll stay that way When I'm looking back I swear I hear you say That there are things in life that I can't be sure of like if you and I were a good thing or a bad thing Shot down was it everything you hoped for Shut up, I just really had to let you know Tough love, all I ever really asked for Everything I need and more Yeah you have got to go Need to go Need to go There are things in life that I'll never be sure of like if you and I Were meant for eachother There is so much we have left to discover we're meant for each other.

Compass Rose 03:33
They tell me that you like me but I know it don't make sense For you to to feel some feelings for an ego-narcissist I tried to read the letters, but the words they don't go through My eyeballs and my sockets keep fixin' back to you Go back to you I am willing to walk through fire I am eager to sleep on a bed of tacks Fear and loathing in loss of interest Keep your head up cause my heart's been put back on the map Now the letters come together from the words I used to write To you another love line almost each and every night Oh majestic missing being, why do you make me laugh? At death I will be ready when he has me in his grasp He has me I am willing to wait til it's over I am eager to sweep this under the matt Fear and loathing in loss of lovers Keep your head up cause my heart's been put back on the map Egotistic, narcissistic Cannot wait another minute Yeah you're cute but I won't risk it Yeah you're perf but I won't risk it Party favors, heavy wagers Can we talk about this later? Never safe from certain sailors Cut my tongue to savor flavor I like girls with nothing in them So I don't have to convince This is nothing but a moment You are nothing but a girl Super tired but excited To get started where the night ends Read the inside of my eyelids Curse myself with silent violence Beer like water call me Jesus Have another cause I need it Empty feelings, empty reasons Cut my hair to change the seasons Cut me off from my addictions I call it Michigan fiction Cut my hair and change my reasons I will stay I have to see this through Complications came through clear like thunder through the hall Clouds crawled across the canyon we sat and watch them all Hold my hand Hold my hand
7.
And this is the last time I'll hold you by the hand "And this is the last time" I say to you again Can we really change anyone? Can we really save ourselves? And this is the last time I'll call you by your name And this is the last time we go around it always ends the same Can we really change anyone? Can we really save ourselves? The cost of us being "just friends" Is too much for us, so we can pretend And I awoke feeling like this Again

Bush 02:36
I'm not tired I'm just stretching out these bones The world around me as I know Has grown so much I'm trying to keep up I'm in the bathroom singing I'm not cut out for this life here To many differences I fear But I won't be too hard on myself For thinking things like that I've been standing Up straighter for you And I've been wanting To talk to you for awhile now Here's why I hate those stupid romance movies Beat around my bush until we all get tired and go home I am still pretty delusional right now Taking the time to figure out What I've been doing use the bruises to start the conversation You're using spite to break me down My gums and teeth start falling out Soon I'll evaporate into the air I've been wanting to start it all over And keep it a secret but I'm not really sober Fold into myself feel nothing for awhile Pull it all together by tomorrow I'll have gone away I think I meant to say I miss you I think I meant to say I missed you I missed you I miss you I've been wanting to tell you I miss you And spend all of our time just working out the issues Here's why I don't exist in social settings Beat around the bush until it catches fire Now go home
