Lyrics:

If the trees are alive 
Then I guess I am too 
Feel the need to survive 
Looking for things to do 
Just to prove that I’m here and I was when I’m gone 
If the trees are alive then I wanna be one

If my soul is a fire 
My body’s a forest
The music is water
The void is a chorus
I hear when it calls me from under the blue
If my soul is a fire I wanna be cool 
All the trees are alive and I wish I were too

All my idols are just 
Two dimensional things
In my head on the wall 
in the light of my screen
And it’s lonely I know but I’m seeing it through
Oh my idol you’re dead and I want to be you

Oh I’m gonna get there someday
I can feel it the horizon drawing near
I wanna live to be
Taller than a sycamore
Burning brighter than a meteor
Dying like a distant star

Oh my love is a ghost and I guess I am too
Dreaming up visions of light breaking through
How it builds and it swells and the climax is you
I will live I will die I will make something new
I will live I will die I will put it to use

laying in the dark hoping ud respond to what I said 
abt how nothing rlly ends
an empty seat next to me on a flight to switzerland
it coulda been yrs we coulda gone swimming in the woods
walking thru the creeks like we did when u were home 
before the dozen girls that look like me hate themselves equally 
and i know when i walk im just falling and catching myself
and i know 
when i die ill be thinking of someone else
and i know im not always secure im unsure and unsafe 
but if yr the one caring i think thats enough and ill be ok
laying in the dark hoping youd respond to what I said 
abt how nothing rlly ends
an empty seat next to me on a flight to switzerland
it coulda been yrs we coulda gone swimming in the woods
walking thru the creeks like we did when yu were home 
before the dozen girls that look like me hate themselves equally 
at yr highschool reunion ull drink wine and laugh and in conversation my name comes up and soon itll pass
and ull have a dog then 2 kids and a wife there to stay
but if my names in yr mouth darling, that is enough and ill be ok

nothing ends!

i was up till three 
sewing patches on my jeans
coz u don’t kiss the bruises on my knees 
anymore 
hear ur fixating someone new 
how u made me fixate on u 
i miss u but im not allowed to 
anymore 

yr new girl she’s got a name just like a song
and I wouldn’t blame u if u sing it all night long
yr new girl she’s got a name just like a prayer
i couldn’t blame you if you incant it everywhere

and im texting u at night time 
nd i hear its not the right time
anymore
and im not dumb im just a kid 
the worlds too small my heart too big
they say i can’t care what you did 
anymore 

yr new girl she’s got a name just like a song
nd I wouldn’t blame u if u sing it all night long
yr new girl she’s got a name just like a prayer
i couldn’t blame you if you incant it everywhere

miss u but

i wake up on a friday and I know that hes gone
i jus need somewhere warm I can curl up jus to rest my head
i jus need some1 that i can screw up like his cigarettes
he called me prophetic but im a fuck up
call me that instead
im posting this bullshit so he’ll know im up but he’s with his friends

he’s all i talk about 
hes all i talk about
wish I could get him outta my mouth but hes all i talk about

i sleep in on the weekend coz he’s not in my dawn
i just need some1 that I can shut out jus to get ahead 
i just need somethin that I can hear out jus so its misread 
he called me electric but im a black out
call me that instead
id cling like a leech if hed put his arm out til im in his head

hes all I talk about 
hes all I talk about
wish I could get him outta my mouth but hes all I talk abt

talk abt

I get hung up
biting my tongue
nd sucking my thumb
and waiting for those who dont want me

but Ur buggin if u think im in love with u
I know that I told u 
but I just need anything to give love to 
ur buggin if u think im in love with u
I know that I told u 
but I just need anything to give love to 

 theres a Beetle in the pool nd im reaching out 4 u 
nd ur clinging to my fingerprints
flashing purple blue 
coz theres a Beetle in the pool nd im reaching out 4 u 
nd ur clinging to my fingerprints
flashing purple blue 

I get hung up
biting my tongue
nd sucking my thumb
and waiting for those who dont want me
nd u pile up 
n I hope to go numb 
but I scavenge the crumbs 
and follow the trails that u leave me

I was bugging when I said im in love w u
I know that I told u 
But I just need anything to give love to
I was bugging when I said im in love w u
I know that I told u 
but id give luv to anything tht hurts like u

buggin

swallowing stones 
on the way to ur home
I waste time being wistful and slow
get so tired of singing ur songs 

say ill move to the city
when im finally grown
but I been driving the long way home
round the block just to finish that song 

deciduous forest aint growin my way 
say thingsll get better when I get away
but I been watching the skyline and been getting home late
counting ways that I luv u nd lights on the parkway

where was I hiding when
we all grew up 
watching blinking lights changing 
on the edge of some bluff
I keep making mistakes 
Nd they’re not makin me any tougher
nd I wish everyone liked me but 
ud b more than  enough

swallowing stones 
on the way past ur home
I like who ur parents r voting for 
theres a sign on ur lawn

im gunna move to the city
when they tell me that ive  grown 
we could waste our lives being wistful and slow
miss my prime while im choking on stones

swallowing stones

why do I feel like im half of a whole
with this head on my shoulders 10 fingers and toes
its me that i live for but you i cant help but extol
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have

ur people flow thru jus to give and to take
the crossing guards, lovers, and summer camp friends 
and the teachers from the 7th grade
so all of these bad days are gunna grow worn with age
til the hairpins and nickels that gleam on ur floor 
are th only things that remain

why do I feel like im half of a whole
with this head on my shoulders 10 fingers and toes
its me that i live for but you i cant help but extol
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have
call me 1/2 but i think that im all that i have

nothing ends!
