You appeared from the exit With your visibly strong tongue Boots pointed from their places Edging tables, curbing me Approach and gait along the wood grain Bright words that lit engagement My smile felt unbounded When your gaze set the walls free Your lips let off swift puffs That pushed my laughs up And nervous eyes followed my toes While they tipped the legs of seats Low tones tickled the air As we walked the drive home I tried to quit my giggling You know, allow the locals sleep I lost my founded farewells Among the footsteps I took too far Past the porch that led to my bed that night Settling back I was slightly more me

Is there anything more To dream for Than some of your Company Being alone with your own thoughts Is all the owning I'll need Let me be The one you see I've heard talk he's beautiful And sometimes he even says the right thing I want to be him, maybe I could see him In your pupils reflecting, back at me But I don't need to like myself Your irises dancing is enough Plus how your face loses focus When you talk about the things you love I love you, and if you like how I love you I'll love myself for loving you so much

I've been feeling a little less lonely Since you've been here Hard to find a companion To last through the days and the years So go And come back tomorrow Speaking with you each evening Makes me wish for the next dawn I only hope our voices echo When we're gone So be Your part of you and me Hug me strictly I'll hold you loose To swallow each tap of your touch Whenever you choose So we Can just sleep

Our problems don't have to be perfect We can find some puzzles we can solve A blind end road still leaves you someplace And placement's something we could use Try to pick a line Find yourself on the other side You don't think there's things we still have The hours only change what they take Though dust will gather on the glasses We'll tip them out whenever we choose Try to mourn the dead Get ready to see your head fall We can watch flowers grow and die And share our memories of their scent I think we can bear together We'll get old just like we were new Try to last a while Just watching each other smile

I know I'm selfish To be fair I've hardly tried But from here it don't look easy To survive It's hard to find solutions In the ways I provide But at least I'm Alive I've felt lost I've felt gone But thanks to you I've never been alone So don't say you're Going away from me Lie until the day you have to Leave

I keep wondering Would you care more if I was less like myself? All my beautiful tragedies Would you think you could offer me help? I need help, I need help I don't how to ask, I need hell I need punishment and torture And safety and healing I have to find some numbness To tell me what I'm feeling I have to find someone less attached Who's willing to give me a match Watch me immolate But make sure to stay Won't wait for me to make the call Push me down and watch me fall Pick me up when I'm done crying Someone who cares enough to hurt me Who loves themselves and tells me to leave Who feels free They don't need They just want, and they say so To make sure I know I hate them They hardly think about me When I know I'm loved I hardly think about me I hate That you still think about me I hardly hate you You should hardly think about me

If you've got someone You love even a little bit You probably don't know what love is If you're old and fading Friends and family sitting with You probably don't know what love is If you've lost your best friend You know pain but it could be worse Think how bad it gets When you know what love is If your friends have all left And you're soon to be dead You probably haven't learned what love is yet Because my love is better Than everybody else's love If you'd tried to know Well then you'd see My love is better Than anybody else's love But to learn that You'd have to love me I thought I loved my loved ones But the pain put me in fits When I met you and learned what love is I'll be lying on my death bed Asking people why they haven't left They don't know you, they don't know what love is I forgot all my friends I had you, and they were worse They would understand if they knew what love is I've lived my last life Even though I'll die my first death Nothing else counts when you know what love is Your love is better Than everybody else's love I tried to know why So I could see Your love is better Than anybody else's love I learned that When you told me They say you see love everywhere But I've known it nowhere else So if you find someone to love You'd best keep that to yourself Because my love is better Than everybody else's love You can try But you'll never see My love is better Than anybody else's love But to learn that You'd have to be me

I only hope Our voices echo When we're gone When we're gone
