A Car Is Coming
03:14
|
|||
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

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

Festival Fees
03:52
|

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
