ive filled pages and pages
trying to find ways to explain this
and it always comes up short
im half obsessed and half unimpressed
but fully caught off guard
figuring out how i feel shouldnt be this hard
but i figure that the whispers have to weigh something
i mean why would everyone warn me about nothing
and maybe im biting off more than i can chew
but im still up thinking about you
and all the lines start to blur
with the penmanship of children and
the laziness of my words
and all the things that ive heard
drag me down, down, down to you
i promised myself i wouldnt make the same mistakes
ive had this happen around the other way it wasnt okay
the nicest way to put it is im easily influenced but by what im not sure
when my friends are in my ears telling me what i should and shouldnt
i am conflicted
and all the lines start to blur
with the penmanship of children and
the laziness of my words
and all the things that ive heard
drag me down, down, down to you
and all i have are the words and the stares
shrugs and i dont cares
and all i have is the way i feel when youre gone and youre not here
and all that i have is the craving your attention without hearing them mention
and all that i have is a head full of confusion i dont know what im doing

you probably talk your head off to the friends you have left
about how im last years biggest regret
its a title that weighs heavy on my chest
but dont forget, you werent exactly the easiest
now whats next
you listen to brand new now
and you moved into a better place in a worse town
and i sit around and wait for your next move
i would wait around forever for you
push and shove we were never even close enough
to have something to throw away
i gave up, but i didnt want you to do the same
but you did anyway
and i stare out at the bridge every time i pass
and think about how youd squint right before youd laugh
i cant remember the last
i saw you like that
i cant decide if i miss what i had
ill probably never see you again
i dont think i want to see you again
push and shove we were never even close enough
to have something to throw away
i gave up, but i didnt want you to do the same
but you did anyway

theres a way to say without asking
what im doing here again
and theres a way to smile without showing that this is coming to an end
and i watch you fold your clothes
and i am quiet
and i watch you run your fingers
through you hair
and i watch your back and the way that it creases
and i am falling to pieces
theres a way in the look you used to give me
and a reason why it faded away
theres a reason why youre always high
and i make excuses why i cant stay
and i watch you roll your eyes
like youre tired of me
and you say that im not right
but i know you love me
and i watch your lips part slowly
but you're out of words
and i am out of reasons
i am falling to pieces, again

you speak fast and wise
show off pearly whites
youre smoking in my face
i breathe in memories i cant erase
we drive in your car
hand out the window
i see stars
too bright for a weekend
time i wish that i had spent differently
'cause i cant be what youre looking for
and i dont think we should do this anymore
'cause ive seen it all
ive seen it all
and it doesnt get better for people like us
everything falls
everything falls apart
its better now if we stop before we start

my hands are covered in ink
nothing is new with me
its midnight and i cant fall asleep
so im thinking of switching my major
or just dropping out
ditching all my friends and this dulled out town
i am trash flying in the wind
i dont ever want to wake up again
but i will and when i do
the disappointment will seep through
my clothes and drench my hair
i will feel it everywhere
but i will and when i do
i will drown in memories of you
and ill be happy even if it kills me

Home

to the place where i was born
this is home and i am sure
even if i were to leave, i would long for it some more
so we pack up our regrets and things to remember and forget
with age comes resistance and ive resisted all thats left
i cannot be lonely here, im surrounded by my fear of leaving
i have lodged myself into this place
im a burden and burdened its all the same
im more observant and im to blame
im feeling better, but i still feel the same
im as average as it gets and i am content
ive made a bed for me and my resentment
i rest on my grudges, my illegal crutches
my schoolgirl heart faints out in crushes
i am okay and i am fine i tuck myself in and i say goodnight
to the place where i was born
growing up it leaves me torn
should i even dream to leave
im just happy to have a place to be
all my bruises and scraped knees
are from the pavement of these streets
and walls that i rest in when i am asleep
these are all apart of me
and they mean everything
i am okay i am fine
tuck myself in say goodnight
