lazy day drinkin with your best friend, suicide hearts on the mend still humming your favourite tune.. butterfly stickers on your underwear, valentine ribbons in your dirty hair looks like you hung the moon.. but I see your leavin, must have your reasons I’ll wait for you to call.. just like the first time, and.. everytime I fall.. little bourbon kisses in the words you say, gotta admit you got a certain way of doing little things to me.. eating cold pasta at 2 am, cuter than a button, sweeter than sin with just a little A.D.D.. I see your leavin, must have your reasons no matter how big or small.. just like the last time, and.. everytime I fall.. I see your leavin, but I still believe in all these things that make me crawl.. until the next time, and.. everytime I fall..

there’s a knock on the door and an anchor at your feet.. buckets of rain, falling on the street.. so broken hungover, I can’t even breathe or try to get down.. overboard, and back again to the same old place I’ve never been butterflies and violins, but lonely don’t make a sound.. I’m still around.. try and make it on cheese toast, and chocolate ice cream old flannel shirts, bustin at the seams a wall of sleep, and exploding dreams.. that never seem to let me down.. then I'm up all nite, and out of my head with a list of all the stupid shit I said better than never, or better off dead.. too lost to get found.. so lost, we can’t get found.. I’m still around five for the takin.. I’m still around hands barely shakin.. I'm still around.. I’m still around five for the takin.. I’m still around hands barely shakin.. I’m still around five for the takin.. I’m still around..

my baby got tipsy down at the bar.. I drove her back home in my car.. she couldn’t remember the address.. she’s such a beautiful little mess.. turns the radio up too loud she’s so strung out on this town.. hides behind me when we go out can’t figure out what she’s talking about.. she wants more of everything shiny buttons and silver rings sad songs that make her sing she wants more of everything.. says she’s my only girlfriend forever now until the end.. and she never wants to be alone reads to me over the phone.. sends me all her favourite songs keeps me up all nite long.. helps me pick the right words to say breaks up with me every other day.. she wants more of everything botox and gold nose rings pretty pictures in a magazine she wants more of everything.. she wants more of everything spray tans and so-cal dreams cigarettes and benzadrine she wants more of everything.. she wants more of everything sushi bars and selfie queens pool parties and backstage scenes she wants more of everything.. she wants more of everything.. soft pillows and daiquiris cotton candy and whipped cream she wants more of everything..

well, lately.. I've been tryin to change, but I never seem to get that far.. and, maybe.. you can burn it down like another little shooting star.. uptight.. holdin on forever, til the night keeps turning blue.. yeah I know, you still have your reasons and you still believe them to be true.. you could tell me anything you wanted to.. I hope the world lasts for you.. now, baby.. this could be a drag, if it wasn’t easy to pretend.. and, lately.. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.. hold tight.. countin down the hours in a satellite built for two.. I know, you still have your dreams and you only want ‘em to come true.. you could tell me anything you wanted to.. I hope the world lasts for you.. you could tell me anything you wanted to.. you could tell me anything you wanted to.. you could tell me anything..

Heels 02:39
riverside hangouts, clandestine makeouts.. cigarettes wet in the seams.. lipstick hotties, suicide totties.. burnin a hole in my jeans.. cooler than clever, down for whatever.. why can’t you say what you mean?.. ‘cause I can see heartache in every breath they take and every sad step in between.. I will wait for you I will wait for you.. walkin around with some unholy sound, breaking apart in my head.. thinking out loud, they’d be so proud.. and I would be better off dead.. you come along, like some weird ancient song.. buried deep inside me.. a sum of the past, a memory to last.. and everything in between.. I will wait for you I will wait for you beautiful and true.. I will wait for you.. I will wait for you I will wait for you beautiful and blue.. I will wait for you..

Sonnets 03:41
holdin on forever, til we fall together.. all we're killing is time.. like that paperback movie, the one that always seems to move me.. I don't know why.. just like the dying embers, of a late september sky.. so much more ahead for you, than bottles turning blue.. and butterflies.. distant stars sleep alone, while streetlights find a home.. I don't know why.. still I'm gonna wait forever.. (wait forever).. 'cause you know I know, everything there is to know.. about sonnets in the rain.. on the road with the radio, nowhere to go.. nothing to say.. just the words from your favourite songs, we'll sing along.. they'll guide our way.. still I'm gonna wait forever.. 'cause you know I know, everything there is to know.. about sonnets in the rain.. you know I know, everything we're letting go.. just sonnets.. in the rain.. and you know I'm right, if only for tonight.. to bring you back again..

super low, that’s where you’ll go hiding secrets everyone knows.. find a pen at the back of the bar but, these love letters won’t get you too far.. out of time, on this rocket ship lately I’m so tired of all this.. nothing’s real or.. meant to last and it’s catchin up with you so fast.. I wanna be your one and lonely I wanna be your lost and found.. stealing time, with a ghost but you were always cooler than most.. I can’t sleep, for these dreams when everything is what it seems.. one more night, on this town one more spark to burn it all back down.. lonely tears, on my shirt come on baby, tell me where it hurts.. I wanna be your one and lonely I wanna be your lost and found.. I wanna be your one and lonely I wanna be your lost and found.. I wanna be with you only get you high when you’re down..

Madeline 04:00
now, I still see you there, in your little blue chair drawing pictures of those nites in nyc.. you’ll hum your favorite tune, and I’ll join in soon just to make sure it’s a little more off key.. keeping time with the rain on dirty window panes still waitin for your little light to shine.. madeline, so fine.. spread those pretty wings tell me all those little things, that you believe in.. running thru these days in the past we swore would never last and hope that somehow we would be forgiven.. but no writing on the wall, no soft place to fall just the chance that we might start livin.. madeline, it’s time.. to mend those broken wings gather all those little things, that you believe in.. you believe in.. madeline, it’s time.. to mend your little wings remember all those pretty things that you believe in..

Over You 02:30
well, I tried so hard to get over you, the hardest thing I’ll never do.. zip me up, dress me down tonite.. ‘cause I want you here with me right now, find a way to get back somehow.. every little thing will be alright.. sad eyes.. and goodbyes.. you can run around in circles, but you’re never gonna catch that tail.. every time I thought about, buying in or selling out.. you’re the one that brings me back again.. I met you at the Bottom Line, where you said you would be mine.. I can’t remember where I’ve been.. yeah, I tried so hard to get over you.. the only thing still left to do.. sad eyes.. and goodbyes.. you can run around in circles, but you’re never gonna catch that tail.. sad eyes.. and pretty lies.. you can hold on forever, but you’re never gonna learn to fail..
