it corners me while i'm walking/ you know how i hate to speak so let's get talking/ the sun is setting on my window shade/ but i haven't opened it all day/ it's some kind of melody/ i don't wanna run, wanna run anymore/ i hear it when i fall asleep/ so heavy in my mind that i can't pick up the sound/ some kind of malady/ let me out let me out and watch me fall/ we're sealing an envelope/ and i don't wanna go so low/ just leave me to go it alone, alone/ watch the stars drinking mercury in/ some beautiful kind of sickness/ i'll remember on my own/ that it's/ chorus/ a jail cell, a pretty face, these are the things we can't replace/ with cotton swab memories for shame for shame for shame for shame/ a read through / red herring. this is a voice unwanting/ i'll remember on my own that it's /chorus

suddenly/ i'm alone/ i have been sleeping by the phone/ a wave of sleep/ a wave of pain./ the ocean lies/ three hundred miles/ to the east of my nearest smile/ but you're okay/ i try to explain/ were you made of paper/ when they built you/ were you made of stainless steel/ have you even noticed/ that i've hurt you/ or have you been programmed not to feel?/ things are about as right as left/ since you left/ a thread of love, a thread of hate/ i'd love to argue/ but you stand so tall/ and you're okay/ just okay/ chorus/ i will be writing songs about you/ for the rest of your life/ but you will reading words about you/ for the rest of your life/ chorus

i'm not asking you to marry me/ i'm just asking you to be/ something more than a memory/ of things i'll never see/ is there something in your face/ that tells me i'll never replace/ yeah we're fight/ and stay up all night/ when we got stuff to do in the morning/ yeah i'm gonna write/ a love song or two/ and talk about it when we do something wrong/ and i don't think i care/ if we can't hold off the rain/ cause at least we can hold each other/ at the end of the day/ i'm looking out for you, babe/ i'm looking out for you babe/ i'm not searching for the rockstar/ i need someone to make me feel that way/ and at the end of the day/ who will write a song with me/ and say "my god this is awful"/ and sing it anyway/ yeah we're fight/ and stay up all night/ when we got stuff to do in the morning/ yeah i'm gonna write/ a love song or two/ and talk about it when we do something wrong/ and i don't think i care/ if we can't hold off the rain/ cause at least we can hold each other/ at the end of the day/ it's about who feels right/ like a november night/ you don't know how it can be so scary and cozy at the same time/ and the lights on the water too perfect to be real/ but you can almost feel em/

where do i go when the songs are no longer healing/ i wrote em to stay alive but they're taking the dive again/ they say they love me/ but they have no reason/ not to turn their backs with the coming season and i reach a hand to the sky and meet another fan in disguise of / a strength in humanity/ and words only go so far/ fame doesn't show the scars/ and if it's true/ i'm here for you/ then why am i cast aside/ you've written the words behind my lips/ you've painted the smile upon my lips/ i'm bracing myself for the downfall/ on yesterday's paydays/ and i expend in fear much more than the return/ the broken up mirror/ and words only go so far/ fame doesn't show the scars/ and if it's true/ i'm here for you/ then why am i cast aside/ because i/ have survived/ i've survived/ i'm alive/ we're alive
