you never land
and then
you decide to land
here.

in the
middle
of

my warm
fingers.
now you
refuse to leave.

You'll never get her back the way
You do what you do
She's never coming home
She can see right through
You're coming empty handed
When she's carrying gold
Now you're crying to yourself
I should have done
As I was told

Type your name into a little box to pretend I still know you
Scroll through years to look at photos of us, of you, of something happy
What are you doing now?
I heard you drink too much
With the same girl from the museum
You look different, rounder on the edges
I try to put these clues from friends together
No one ever says how you really are
So I pretend I still know you

i think i knew it all along
before i even met you
that i'd fall in love
i could feel it in my bones

maybe that's why i stayed
away for so long
my heart telling me
you're no good

but i never listen to her
that silly little thing

you're at war with yourself
and i can't save you
when i'm fighting my own battle

Hold your own soul
Love me like you lost me in the dark
Let's hide from this smell, this mess
Just give me your best and smile
We can be something without manners
You got blisters from holding the weight of the world
I want to put your body to the test
Now show me the love, give us what we're scared of

I wanna walk with you in my summer shoes
But damn, you don't know how to stand

I'm a friendly girl and I keep on changing too
But damn, it's hard when you have no plan

And we can keep on going
Like we did before
And we can keep on hoping
Our hearts don't smack the floor

I'm a big girl with a summer plan
You're a big kid with even bigger plans
That's a big deal for a grown man
And damn, it's a shame, this circumstance.
