I'm your whore
I'm a ragdoll eaten out by the shore
And I'm not the one who ever loved you anymore
Catch me moon
Someday I'll be gazing June
And you're sitting by yourself
No one wants to sit with you
Help it's infectious
I'm not
Over moon
But I think I'm gonna be over you soon
I'll be anyone's whore but you
I'll be anyone's whore but you

I thought I saw you at a place I work
Something's different bout' the way you lurk
Now you're breathing in recycled air
I hope you get paint in your hair
All my senses numbed
Still I smell your burning coal
I'm not too young to die
Spill my blood into a bowl
Then I saw you get out of the car
I could've confronted you but is that all we are?
We must've saw the same movie that day
Your family with you so I put myself to bay

All my time spent thinking bout' you
I wish I was fine now but you fucked me up
Fall off a train with the cargo
You'll wait with it but no one wants it
So tonight I'll stay up late writing songs about the dark
Its never light after the last sunset
Help me moon
I need a nightlight to light up my room
To light up my room
I need a nightlight
A desert storm without a desert
Your friends warned you you'd get fucked up again
A passing thought
You're worth more than this
So you'll cling to whatever you can
So tonight I'll stay up late writing songs about the dark
Its never light after the last sunset
Help me moon
I need a nightlight to light up my room
To light up my room
I need a nightlight
If this is fine
Then fuck being fine
If this is fine
Then fuck being fine

I bought you the bookshelf that's by your bed
I changed the bulb in your brother's room
We moved the couch in the living room
I bought you a cd player to play my songs
I changed my ways to be with you
We cleaned the gutters of your mother's roof
Now I'm right here reading comics from the outside
Once I fell asleep on your bed
Now I'm a long way from your bed
With your family gathered round' the Christmas tree
Now alone without my own
On this winter's night
With presents from you and your mother
Now I have to hide those things away
On this February day
And somehow I miss your brother more than I miss you
Once I spent all the holidays with you
Now I'm a long way from your bed

I could write about fiction
Imaginary sad people
And their lungs might give in
If you would wipe off your grin
Get a job at google
You'd know what all them be searchin'
I wanna be in a story but not make it too gory
Your wounded head is falling off the path you tread
How athletes sweat more than knights back then jousting
Throw a softball at a sword they're swinging
I wanna be in a book and take out all the crooks
Your over done lamb in the oven is about to go kabam

I tried writing about fiction but you'll get one more
Though you don't deserve it
You never did
After you dropped me off at your door
The last time I see your face now I bid you farewell
Fiction no more
I know whats real
Drop me off at my door
Farewell I'll deal

And all my life give in
Dwell down
And its hard to know the way
How I pictured it
Un-doubtful
How long it takes today to pick myself back up
Different paths now we're not so young
Emotions break, rush in like a flood
You return alone dripping in blood
How I pictured it

Sometimes I look at the stars
And sometimes I forget where we've been
I can't hate you for who you are
And most of all I can't sleep in single beds
Quite a mess you and I were
I still see your face and
13 months since still a blur
And I still see your face and
Sometimes I poke out my heart
And sometimes I drool on my bed
I can't disassociate you for who you aren't
And my ghost believes what you said
Quite a mess you and I were
I still see your face and
13 months since still a blur
And I still see your face and

Its time for a midnight beach adventure
A walk home alone smells just like sweet sugar
If I don't spill the tea today, then I'll spill the tea by tomorrow
And we can drink what's left of it before you go
All my life's felt like a party
A party without a start or end
Shall I throw out all my whisky?
If I chug it will I offend?
What rhymes with a midnight beach adventure,
I gawk when I look in the mirror
If I slow down maybe I'll let all my feelings show
14 months of this fast paced life with few real hellos

and all my life, give in, settle down
and its hard to know the way
how I pictured it, filled with doubt
how long it takes today to pick myself back up
now that you're gone, I'm not so young
emotions broken, thought you the one
and all my life, give in, settle down
and its hard to know the way
how I pictured it

And sometimes I get glimpses
Of who I was
And I wouldn't trade
Anything now
You changed me like eclipses
When I'm undone
Will the bonds I've made
Put me back together somehow?

21 months since still a blur
And I still see your face and

More winters without you
and another till I found one
looking for a lie to use
Spending more time on the same street
Drinking coffee to my lonesome
But also to my newfound epitome
Every corner of this town,
dark and bitter can be found
Every corner of this town,
dark and bitter can be found

And sometimes I get glimpses

Would you pretend that you ever knew me
Our interactions; they threw me
Sometimes I wonder if you're still breathing
And if your heart's still beating
Long ago when the time was right
I'd hold you in my arms tight
And for all the times you left my soul to die
It was never in me to say goodbye
Could you for once be honest
My voice is still here as I promised
At times you were my fondest
I'm just trying to be modest
I'll glow in the place where I can
It'll be over when I have a plan
For all the times you left me out to dry
You could rely on me to comply

Isn't it strange?
The way it's just over
No late night calls
You're not here to walk me to my door
Now I just love you more
Mia, don't cry
I love you forever
But I've gotta grow up now
No, I can't keep holding on to you
Anymore
Mia, I'm still yours
Lost love, so strange
And heaven's not real, babe
But I wish that I
Could lay down next to you
Fixin' your hair on the way to his place
Off Broadway at night
If you're wakin' up slow
Together we'll talk it through the night
But it feels so fuckin' light
Lost love, so strange
And heaven's not real, babe
But I wish that I could lay down next to you
I wish that I could lay down next to you
You

I wrote you a letter
Did you reply?
Would it make me feel better,
and not wanna die?
If I wrote you a novel
I wanna know if you'd read it
waited for your call
am I sad about it
what'd you think of my letter?

I received some news
that you're still alive
I didn't quite know how to take it
I don't wish any harm upon you
But I don't wish
harm upon anyone
I have lots of friends
who love me
Why do I think thats not enough
We could be more
than enough

You say you won't but you always do
I never, never know what you're thinking
Soft at first, now burned I am, center of the marshmallow
Still frightened of
being nothing in the sight of the mirror and looking down on the world
Maybe you're a star
underneath the skin you reek in, stealing your own time
Your pictures make me cry
Someday you'll try to forget me
Somehow your words
Make moments a little brighter
Still frightened of
being nothing in the sight of the mirror and looking down on the world
Maybe you're a star
underneath the skin you reek in, stealing your own time
