~~lyrics~~
to a better half:
(are those the words we used?)
you want a better start
but you know i love to lose
through the bitterness
you know you always win
you want a better part
but it's just like you said -

i wanna be just like you
i wanna be just like you
i wanna dress like you
i wanna act like you do

i see you in my dreams now
but usually you're just hanging around
a couple of times i think we made out
but we've never been in this house

"if it feels good, it doesn't mean that it's good"
is a lesson i learned and then misunderstood
so if it feels good, it doesn't mean that it's good
i heard it, i heard it, i wanna be just like you

i wanna be just like you
i wanna be just like you
i wanna trust like you
i wanna love like you do

i wanna be just like you
i wanna be just like you
i wanna trust like you
i wanna love like you do

i wanna be just like, just like, just like
i wanna be just like, just like, just like
i wanna be just like, just like, just like
i wanna be just like, just like, just like

everything✱

just like you

[Verse 1]
What's the furthest place from here?
It hasn't been my day for a couple years
What's a couple more?

And if I go, don't forget the one good thing I almost did
I learned your name without words
I used my eyes, not my hands

[Verse 2]
What's the closest you can come to an almost total wreck
And still walk away, all limbs intact?

And when I go, you'll be there
Crying out, begging me
I won't hear
I'll just go fast into this night on broken legs

[Chorus]
A near miss or a close call?
I keep a room at the hospital
I scratch my accidents into the wall
I couldn't wait to breathe your breath
I cut in line, I bled to death
I got to you, there was nothing left
 

[Verse 3]
What's the meanest you can be to the one you claim to love
And still smile to your new found friends?

In the same confusing breath
You pull away and draw me in
I wanted you, you wanted more
I built this life and now it's mine

[Chorus]
A near miss or a close call?
I keep a room at the hospital
I scratch my accidents into the wall
I couldn't wait to breathe your breath
I cut in line, I bled to death
I got to you, there was nothing left

[Instrumental passage]

[Chorus]
A near miss or a close call?
I keep a room at the hospital
I scratch my accidents into the wall
I couldn't wait to breathe your breath
I cut in line, I bled to death
I got to you, there was nothing left
