if anyone has any title suggestions, they'd be muchly appreciated
"I had an itch on the inside,
and I scratched on the outside."
Is that all? That's all there ever is....
but there's something more to say, I think,
when you're caught on the wrong side of everything.
I'd tell you if I was down.
I pretended that I knew how.
You dare to cross lines and hearts.
I'm pretty enough to get away with being dark,
ugly enough to make you feel safe in my arms.
We talk about skipping out,
but nothing's prettier than what's right no1w.
And we don't know the difference anyway.
I want to know what to expect of night and day
now we have landfills to overwhelm the air all over the place.
You know nothing ever changes
except the things we said we'd always do.
It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
It's gonna come, but still we call.
Haven's heavy fingers in this day with you--
they loosen me up, and I can't say what I'll do.
I'm sick of all the gold, I'd like to make a little trash.
I'll tell you the truth I made out of a lie that I cashed
if you tell me who's been the light that loves you fast?
I won't tell a soul if you promise you pretend we're forgiven.
I won't tell the music the words you're singing.
Vampires and fevers aside, I know I came just close enough to control
and prove I'm really here. But you don't know
It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
We know it's gonna come and still we crawl.
I'm gonna wonder, but I will not ask.
You're gonna look away, but you will not turn your back.
Setting myself down and out like thunder,
I don't believe in the dying summer.
More out of our minds than out of work,
we kill each other, but it doesn't hurt.
Gone underground, but high above the dirt.
You shouldn't say such things to me.
I know why lovers steal.
I believe big in the big idea tonight.
Not the right time;
the wrong bed, the right lies.
Your one great love leaves you,
makes you want it, want it cool.
Still I burn,
you don't learn.
I wasn't waiting for anything.
I don't want,
I don't stop.
There's nothing wrong except
everything I have.
And I couldn't change you,
I couldn't save you.
It's gonna fall, so let it fall.
We know it's gonna come, and still we crawl.
I'm gonna wonder, but I will not ask.
You're gonna look away, but you will not turn your back.
You know nothing ever changes
except the things we said we'd always do.
I did love, you didn't want me to.
We'll both go back the way we came,
but not together, we can't go back the same.
Didn't you hear me follow you that way?
Didn't you want to stay this way?
Did it change you?
Did it save you?
You break a heart,
we don't talk about it and then,
we wake up in the morning
and we do it again.
