i fell asleep while you were talking i had a dream that i was somewhere far away feeling the tide roll underneath my feet built up the nerve to let it sink in i let the sand fill every inch of my head i'll be everything i need life on the fly, everything will turn out fine wash away and i've half a mind to let the ocean rob me blind i can't say i fell asleep in half an hour i had a dream that i was stuck in your bed your breathing sounded like a lullaby don't wanna take no extra phone calls just gonna live in those seconds again a neverending loop of time no, don't you go, i can't do this on my own say you'll stay and out on the road, is my voice what you call home? hear me pray i fell asleep just to take a break tried to make my brain go blank i think i'll hide here for a few more weeks it's dark but i don't turn the lights on i like it better cuz it makes me feel small curled up so no one can find me curled up so maybe i can find some peace curled up so no one can find me at all
2.
feels like it was over before it even began i watch you take the paper and throw it into the trash can and now the lights are dim and all is said and done and we can go back to ignoring everyone and i don't know why i get out of bed anymore a special time of love and cheer in snowy glow they said the last full moon on this day was 40 years ago all these things that we should have to celebrate why do they seem to leave me with a bitter taste and i don't know why i can't open my eyes anymore i drove in just to see my childhood fall apart the red barn on the corner, a skeleton in the dark i hear you count down the days until the house can sell and wipe away all of the memories that it held but truth be told i don't know where home is anymore came in to say hello, well turn around and close the door
3.
your hand looks nice i want to lace your fingers in mine i won't think twice until our bodies are intertwined a bird in flight a dragonfly above the ground no end in sight don't wanna stop til i slow down i've come to find a sense of peace, that i belong still i won't try to fool myself into feeling strong
4.
for once i'm doing this for myself for once i'll stick to my guns and give em hell for once everybody knows how far i fell and for once it's just as well sometimes i can't even say your name sometimes i shatter under all the pain sometimes i worry everybody knows the game that sometimes i'm the one to blame we all find the words to be misleading cuz no one ever wants to be denied i cut off all the blinds on my old windows i don't need a place where i can hide for once i'm taking that head start for once i'll dive right in and fall apart for once everybody knows to leave me to restart and for once i hold my heart i'm facing all the failures i let follow i just want the world to let me in when waking feels like something i can swallow it's time to see if i can take the sting teach me how to begin.
