Fall In Love

can you just text me back
so i know if i said
something to make you angry
or if you found someone else
a little better
yeah it's fine either way
i just don't feel like
dancing around for another day
this could be bad
if we tried it out
or it could be great
if we turned our shit around
but there's no way to know
if you don't pick up your phone
and treat me like a ghost

ghost

i've been circling around
the point so much
i'm off the ground.
floating on the shoulders of
the shit i couldn't talk about
everything is grey
but you've got colour
shaking from your mouth.
hands spread out and pointed up
you're saying to me

why don't you come back down?
why don't you come back down?
why don't you come back down?
you're saying to me
you can rebuild your home
you can rebuild your home
you can rebuild your home
you're only human
you don't have to be alone.

human

it's all so strange
how we can change
we dig through all the damage
and we find something to love anyway
is blooming just a step off a ledge
into a garden made of stories
all laid out like a bed?

keep it strange
let's try to move
away from where
we lost our cool
i can wait
if you need time
i just want you
to be all right

it's all so strange

get away

it doesn't even matter
that i tried to shake you off
half a decade later
all i want to do is talk
to you
and every little ghost
has teleported
out the window
to the yard
and we can finally 
start to wonder where we are

is it just where we left off
or are we in somewhere new
is this a different planet
where i get to grow with you
and everything you say
is made of colour
and i want to take it home
and paint our walls
and start to wonder
where we'll go

Fall In Love
