i am stuck on the nights that you would visit me when i was depressed at university, right before i went and wrecked everything good i'd ever had. cut to spring in the back of a rental pickup truck. i thought i was in love, but it turns out i was not. and i think i'm afraid to be by myself. tell me that you can't tell. 

took a year, slept around. i'm much better on my own till i'm drunk on the floor, yelling at your dial tone. always said i never learn a thing. i'd say i love you if you were listening. fell asleep on the porch. i have never been so high. wonder if all along i would rather be a guy. wake up just to wish you well. tell me that you can't tell.

you can come home if you want to. i left the key inside the door. this is all something we can undo if you don't want to fight anymore. i keep sitting and waiting for your bad news. it's part of the communion we fell into. all we do is collect dust. all we do is ask too much and not enough, but i'll give in. 

bruises and broken body parts. i can't fix what's already torn apart, but i can put three kids in the backseat of your car. fighting till our faces turn red. darling, we're just getting used to it, but i don't want to get used to it, but i'll give in.

i've never written a bridge in my life

lyricz:

i'll be so good to you when i'm better. won't leave you without a car in the cold weather. & i'll tell you exactly how i feel when i feel it. & i'll say i love you even though i don't mean it. but right now i just can't be bothered, bb, by an ounce or a shred of human decency. but you get it 'cause you had that thing last winter. & maybe by this one i'll treat you better.

better

lie-rix:

you can keep your gods. you can keep anything you want from the nights we spent. don't be alone again. everyone you love was a stranger just like i was once, and they can't help they didn't know you yet. they don't love you any less. i don't love you any less than the first night that we met. i don't love you any less. you can keep your gods. you can keep your clothes on. i don't think you have to sleep with every boy just 'cause he's not me. and i think i think i tried to push everyone i love aside, just to put you in the spotlight, just to keep your head right. please don't leave me. i won't love you any less. i won't love you any less than the first night that we met. even though you made a mess, i won't love you any less.

like the sun, i'll stain your eyes so that all you see i good and bright when you're looking at the insides of your eyelids at night and the dark is big enough to swallow us both whole. i'll follow you through it till i forget the names of everyone i know, and the light is a distant memory from before we were paralyzed by sleep. *jam* now we just collect teeth from the mouths of creatures that only you can see. there are holes where your eyes used to be, but i'm afraid if i look away, you'll turn and leave.

gud n brite

LYRICXXX:

leaving you was like changing my name. i can cover up but i can't forget. seeing you is remembering the taste of your lips. you've got a lot of nerve, showing up at my work, bringing me coffee & saying you're sorry for the way you burned everything down. you're like a limb i lost at war -- i miss you so bad that it hurts, but you know me too well to believe this'd ever work. so, you think you can try to sleep with all of my friends, then turn around & say you prefer me over them. well, i have a lot to learn about the world, but not *that* much. some nights i dream about driving to your house, lighting a match, & burning that shit to the ground. you're lucky i have a conscience or else you would be dust. you make my stomach sick with all your misplaced self-confidence. you think you know me so well, so you must know i hope you goo00o00 2 hell. :-)

you can hold my hand. you can take it slow if you want to, but don't feel bad when i don't say the words i'm supposed to. i can take you home, introduce you to both of my brothers, but next week on the phone, i will shit talk you to my mother. you can take my glasses off. you can take my sweatshirt off. you can take anything you want, but don't forget where i belong.

so we made it this far. who would've guessed? you only have a semester left, then we can pack our bags and move to the coast, breathing in the air that's mostly smoke. but there's no one who i'd rather get lung cancer with than you. they'll make fun of our midwestern accents and our fondness for sitting under overpasses. some guy will pull his knife on you, so i'll stab him in the back. yeah, it's looking pretty bad. but there's no one who i'd rather serve a life sentence for than you. ooooooooooh. so i'll prepare for the worst and miss you so bad that it hurts, and i know they're only words, but there's no one that i'd rather be pathetic over, sappy and poetic over, no one that i'd rather be with than you.

lyrics

this part of town reminds me of you,
makes me want to wake up in your bedroom
like we are both sixteen again.
wish you loved me still the way you did back then. 
this part of town reminds me of us
and the time we fell asleep in the back of a bus. 
it was a greyhound taking me away from here,
but not without you, dear. 
no, not without you, dear. 
i just called to say that i think i'm getting good
and i'm sorry for the way i misunderstood my feelings then.
i weaponized your childhood,
but i'll remember you as you were.
i'll remember you as i should. 
i just called to say that every day i think about 
if you'd be impressed by the way i am now. 
i have learned to control my bark and my bite,
and if you gave it one more go,
this time i'd get it right. 
this time, this time i'd get it right.
