You're silver-tongued with bright eyes I'm cotton-mouthed with hands tied The rebel kids smash cathedral glass Shattered fragments rain upon my body I pity your silence But envy your pain Tore some pages from a book Handwritten backwards, you see where the pen shook A blank canvas on the wall Beautifully designed, a dare to fall I pity your silence But envy your pain I'd tell anybody That you feel the same Great lakes will break your spine Splintered bones you're too far from home A car is coming just after eight To take away the heart that I can't break Chorus A car is coming just after eight To take away the heart that I can't break x4

It's almost like there's nothing wrong at all It's almost like it was last fall It's almost like losing a best friend It's almost like losing half a head It's almost like I'm asleep when my eyes are closed It's almost like a thought that's never posed It's almost like I'm happy to be alone It's almost like I'm happiest when I'm alone It's almost like I'm happy to be alone It's almost like I'm happiest when I'm alone Yeah, everybody wants to be alone x3 So do I It's almost like there's nothing wrong at all It's almost like it was last fall It's almost like losing a best friend It's almost like losing half a head It's almost like you were never even here It's almost like we never shared a beer It's almost like the time we hid in fear From the phone and the call we'll never hear Chorus

I'm Sorry 03:33
There's a knot in stomach That I haven't felt since my last biggest regret Now it's back, and bigger than ever And it's beating the shit out of me I can't talk I can barely roll over to turn off the light by my bed But it's only sleep now that I have to look forward to Because I know then that I'm not losing you I wish I could tell you without feeling like a coward That I feel like there's a fire in my ribcage I wish I could tell you that I've never felt so helpless and terrified And I'm sorry that I put us through this And I'm sorry I'm sorry So sorry I'm sorry In the mornings there's always a moment right before I open my eyes When it almost feels like I'm not so alone Before I open my eyes And it hurts then worse than the evening I can't stand to be in this room I feel like a loser with nothing but self-indulgence to wrap my arms around And I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

And when I see your face It's in a foreign place Our fingertips make smudges When we try to touch each other We talked about all night In summer late last night How festival fees are investments In the stock that we can attend them And when I thought the phone went dead You were talking in your head Using words that made no sense So I spoke until you said "A color isn't a color without the presence of another It's a horrible waste of space"

Cold Air 05:42
I've been thinking a lot about everything About Christmas and what I said Soon you'll be leaving me To get some cold air in your head I'm not saying there's something wrong with that I'd be mad if you did any different But I can't pretend to be happy That you'll be halfway across the country I've thought a lot about everything Like where we'll be in three months It's starting to seem insane to think That I'll see you in three months I've been thinking about everything Like the times that we broke in the pantry My father he knew me well I've been thinking a lot about everything Your brother always treated me with kindness And you were always selfless And I coughed on that stranger's cigarette It was good, it was sweet, it burned holes in my teeth And I rattled my knees on the black underneath And it buried me into the cold winter freeze Like a dog, it was odd, I was shirking my sleep For the stares on the stairs for your nightmarish week And I heard everything that your mom couldn't see With my hand on my back twisted up like a tree And I cried on your cake about the bed at the lake And you asked if this meant that a nebulous state Would be better for me and it hurt just to hear 'Cause I was wrong, I was weak I made off with the creek and left you on the beach with a crack in your beak Now the Caroline breeze feels a lot like a laugh That you hold back at first 'til it breaks through your back Clean the blood off your hands so you don't lose your grip I'm a craven and captain going down with the ship Now the bottle is broken Sits on the shelf to remind me the day I almost saw hell
