There's a piece of you on a piece of paper.
It's got you enveloped in a drug store letter
It's left in my pocket for moments i'd like you to share
cause i believe that you're there when i read
how i caused a scene
how you're poorer than dirt
and it's then that i flirt wit

Pillows over your head, scared your thoughts might seep Through doors, Loud as your creaking hard-wood floors that give you Away. And know today I saw a beat up car. it had rusted on the Roof like yo

Pillows over your head, scared your thoughts might seep through doors,
loud as your creaking hard-wood floors that give you away.
And know today i saw a beat up car. it had rusted on the roof like yours,
had no reflection through the back seat window. i started to shake.
i starte

I think you need to calm down
And try to move in an orderly fashion
For all we know, this is a false alarm
And is it all that strange to think that this could happen?
If you keep running late, it may soon arrive

I've tried to change your mind
A thousand times
Pacing

I see how faces are flooding the halls of your house,
would you mind if we snuck to the front porch
and there with our small view, a toast to all things new.

i'd stay a little while, it's just the more you show
i can't stand to leave, though i say i should go.

Unsettled b

I was living
Long before you were
I live to help you
And still your own way you prefer
You shrug your shoulders
I retreat to mine
Open the paper
And as you read me line by line

Overreact to nothing
Because nothing sinks in
A dam of cheap distractions

Came at you in silence, my back at the wall.
"i've seen those nights where you binge and purge"
Those locks on your doors tell me when you're crouched on all fours
counting tile, losing bile and sleep.
"it's just a diet, i've kept it quiet. Even if you told all my family and frie

There is a carrot dangling
Outside a window narrowing
And it's teasing me
But it's the nerve that you lack
To cut the strings that hold you back
Your body is still alive
But buried under your head

I'm thinking
I think too much

'Cause there will
Not be

Bad enough i bought into that bit.
yeah, my hometown was an untapped oil field
storing profits, those wallets begged for change
and everyone's growing up just the same.

no, that isn't love, that's just called insecurity.

You've got the right idea
Let's stall out in mid air
Too hard a thing to settle
Plunge down, you're barely scraping by

Cause if you ever tell me
"I'll need an answer from you now"
The static in our signals
Will only serve to mute the sound

Collect, compile, co

I left a message on your floor
Still eight months since you have called
Awake at night I think to myself
Put it to bed so I can rest

It's getting hard to feel sorry for you
I think your playing a victim
It's not abandonment
When I get pushed away
Your track reco

Open-ended, parting on a note
it never rang and barely ever spoke to
anyone baring the slightest peace of mind,
cause if it did, there'd be no fingerprints to find
or forget. dont' have the money and you know it'd be well spent,
keeping tabs on whichever family tree, ready to

Let's get one thing straight
I can't afford to sit and wait
You take your time, it takes its toll

You strike the iron while it's hot
If you intend to strike at all
At all
At all

Right now I am piecing part of a plan
I need to know where you will stand

Your teeth carry marks, pictures, stories and charts
and biting that lip won't hide a lot.
where's your charm?
don't know. i guess i lost track
or no, i think i left it in that diner with my sister. could i get it back.
i want it back.

I sheltered in the news for a while, that paragraph had space to fill my days, but it never worked just feeling anti-climaxed, common and cliche`
You touch your skin and it's feeling older and you finally say, you finally say that

Everything is closing in around you,
you had to lea

Did you ever know that you were a map to me?
You kept me on track and i was in the right place.
You got folded up when i thought i knew the way
and you flew out the window when i rolled it down.

Every scenic spot you led me to, produced a view you just can't buy.
Now, i mis

Mount your plans onto a bow
Pull back your arm
Release and throw
Your ducks are lined up in a row
But your aim is off
You shoot too low

But if your smarter enough
To know where this is going
Please don't tell me
I'd rather have you just lie
Come to terms

I am going to the doctor
I am going through my mind
I am airing every thought out
In the sun to shed some light

Just passed the children's toys
And office noise
A nursery leaves my way
And from that microphone
And speaker come
Now I hear them call my name
