slow dancing
i saw you glancin’
you think you’re fancy
with that acting
i saw you askin’
who’s that
you comin’ to chat
you lied down the welcome mat
i could tell what you wanted
yeah, you flaunted
it was constant
but if we’re being honest
i kinda liked it
but bear in mind
you could never undermine
thought you were in control
but you’re just gonna end up alone
yeah, i kept the story untold
and yeah, i swept it under the mat
remember all those times
i slept in your lap
and i just kept
it all to myself
and how i didn’t disconnect
or try to collect
anything or everything
i sat alone
and just said goodbye
and goodnight
and maybe
another time
-
-
drank the blood
felt the life
upon my soul
here we go
disappear
what an affair
prepare
it’s in the air
the look of despair
they said beware
but i’m young and dumb
and i have
the devil’s tongue
you love that vessel
i already know
you’re the devil
i feel kinda special
let’s revel -
maybe another day
maybe another night
maybe another life
i won’t ask why
you struck the knifelook at the blood
look at what you’ve done
are you done having fun
ripping me apart
one by oneyou can’t undo
you bid adieu
don’t you have things to attend to
set down my limbs
you have things to attend to
go on, you do -
meanwhile
i’m going a little senile
look, i’m floating
are you following
stop smoking
don’t
stop
you’re folding
you look a little lonely
don’t mean to belittle
you really aren’t committal
one day
it’ll come along
you’ll understand the song
realize you were wrong
and how we belong -
held on to my weight
thought about another day
feel my heart rate
it’s gonna detonatei think i love you
just a little bit more
than you love yourself
together forever
just remember
better now than neverturn off the lights
i love this rainy weather
let’s try new heights
not sure where i’m going tonight
but i might
find my inner light
i see in black and white
one day i’ll be alright -
i’d sit and tell you
what was so scary
but apparently
on the contrary
hail mary
holy grail
it’s another tall tale
why do you look so pale
is it the black book
you look a little shook
come on, unhook
take a look
you awake
don’t pull the break
ok, i won’t give it away
sure you don’t
don’t tell your momma
ya little prima donna
don’t make a ripple
take my hand and demand
come on, this wasn’t planned
don’t you reprimand
it’ll be grande
take my hand
well if i’ll be damned -
sent you a care package
didn’t realize it would do damage
it was just a candle, a jacket
somethings that didn’t matter
not like i sent you a whole planet
makin’ me feel like a savagei guess it was your ego
bless you
you’re gonna end up with zero
used that bow and arrow
i was just trying to be a superherowhy’s your mind so narrow
why can’t you accept
why do you always have to deject
you need to reflect
before you end up
with nothing left -
bad intentions
i’ve been here before
i don’t want another intervention
but i don’t know who i am anymore
sometimes i’m just like you need to figure it out
and make do
come on, don’t break
don’t do this again
don’t touch the champagne
back away from the acid rain
life ain’t always like a candy cane
yeah i know that
but not everything’s always fine and dandy
all i want is to be happy
stop
i can feel the haunt
i know i’m always trying to act nonchalant
but damn
i sit and write using this old style font
thinkin’ all about what i want
i could scream and shout
but i won’t
honey, they say this is the american dream
i laugh and say if only
you knew what it was like
to be this fucking lonely -
we sat in the cemetery
drinkin’ wine
eatin’ hors d’oeuvres
the movie started
you pulled me in
there goes my nerves
i didn’t care who observedi’m usually so reserved
but damn, you took the opportunity
and truthfully
you were beautiful
something i didn’t know
the feelings felt so mutualturned around and pecked you on the lips
i wasn’t about to take a rain check
all in and nothing to lose
who knew i’d turn into such a wreckheld your hand
as we strolled home
it was kinda cold
so i held tight
as we walked under the street lightsstood at your car
i leaned in
damn, it was all i could dream
your lips on mine
this felt like some sort of script
felt like i was standing under
a solar eclipse -
watchin’ football
little sun devil
look at you
burstin’ a blood vessel
over some stupid game
but to you, it’s your claim to famesittin’ at your computer all day
lookin’ for a way
to get out
don’t quit it
you’ll get it
one dayi’m young
this is unusual
doesn’t happen
don’t mean to be cruel
i didn’t even go to a preparatory schooleventually
i’ll end up in a cemetery
overlooking every february
hoping you’ll stop by
on my b-day
i’ll still be holding on to whatever it was
maybe, by then, you’ll have endeavoredi’ll be watchin’ from above (maybe below)
cause baby, i’ll always be in love
even if it was a while ago
