Sane

I’ve come to know
I wont find a home
Inside of your bones
I’ve always been shown
I’m better alone
You are so hard to hold
But just a second stare,
A moment that you’re there
Is enough to keep me sane
I’ll hold on to hope
For words left unspoken hide promise of course
But just a second stare,
A moment that you’re there
Is enough to keep me sane
But i always fall short
And you’re so self assured
And there's something so bittersweet
You left to poison me
And I’m convinced I wont be cured
But just a second stare,
A moment that you’re there
Is enough to keep me sane

Take It Too

I’m so much better off and don’t it show
Covering my alarms, smelling smoke
This silly little daydream takes me through
I throw it all away ‘cause you want me to,
‘Cause you want me too
A fucking year of this it’s all a little old
But it sure does feel like home
It’s a problem I am told
But don’t say it back to me if it ain’t true
You’ve got this gravity, you know you do
And I feel the strangest things with my arms around you
But that’s just an image
Or a problem
Or a feeling
Or a pipe dream
I’m a person
If you can take it I can take it too
When all’s been said and done I feel used
And I can’t bear to hold a love so confused
If I could take your limbs and use them as my own
Maybe finally I’d feel home
If you’d let me, let me know
But don’t say it back to me if it ain’t true
You’ve got this gravity, you know you do
And I feel the strangest things with my arms around you
But that’s just an image
Or a problem
Or a feeling
Or a pipe dream
I’m a person
If you can take it I can take it too
Well I can’t seem to get this straight
‘Cause you told me not to wait
Of course I did and you, you were there
And I’ve been living breathing hope
But I’ve come to know that none of this was ever fucking fair
But you hold me like a child
And I’m perfect for a while
So don’t say it back to me if it ain’t true
You’ve got this gravity, you know you do
You know you do
Don’t say it back to me if it ain’t true
You’ve got this gravity, you know you do
And I feel the strangest things with my arms around you
But that’s just an image
Or a problem
Or a feeling
Or a pipe dream
I’m a person
If you can take it I can take it too

Watch me twist and turn again
Like a handshake between friends
Watch my eyelids flutter and fall
Flutter and fall
Am I staying here tonight
If I’m honest, that’s the only part I like
The thought of someone sleeping next to me
Mandatory intimacy
But I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I’ll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I’m someone else
With someone I could grow to like
Tell me I am like a dream
The sweetest, smallest girl you’ve ever seen
And I am just more beautiful ‘cause I don’t even know it
And you swear you’ll make me know it
But I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I’ll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I’m someone else
With someone I could grow to like
Tell me you will never be
As content, or happy as you are with me
And I’ll say I feel the same
I can’t even say your name
Or look at your face while it’s hidden by the dark
I’ll map the contours of your face
Touch my lips to every place
But god forbid I look you in the eye
But I hate it when you touch me
Your fingers feel so greedy
And I hate the way they fumble on my skin
So I’ll close my eyes and hope that
I can live inside a moment
Where I’m someone else
With someone I could grow to like

Between The Lines
04:39

When the skyline breaks the dawn
Are your hands left so tired and worn
And do they recall what we used to do
When our silence broke before
Were your head and your heart still as sore
You leave me confused, you always do
And so it goes
Always I know
The way you say you love her so
And I’m stuck between the lines
It always ends
You’ll make amends, it all depends
Oh I’m stuck between the lines
See I don’t have long to wait
And it feels like I’m losing my place
And you seem to seem like you ache the same
If I bend until I break
And if you keep on raising the stakes
I’ll fade into you and you to me
And so it goes
Always I know
The way you say you love her so
And I’m stuck between the lines
It always ends
You’ll make amends, it all depends
Oh I’m stuck between the lines
And there’s something here to save
But that’s something that you’ll never hear me say
See I’m not too hard to take
I’m just a second in time
I’m just a fragment of a moment of your day
And so it goes
Always I know
The way you say you love her so
And I’m stuck between the lines
It always ends
You’ll make amends, it all depends
Oh I’m stuck between the lines
