She was 15 seconds from the angel's face. Bet too many dollars on a bad horse race. She had bright red lips under teenage eyes. and all she wanted was the butterflies.
I used to count the days for your next letter drop. and tears I paid what you might have to say. and when the mail man came before 2 'o clock. I sneak out as soon as he ran away.
.... And that's just no escape. . So I got my white flag in the air. My hands up I'm giving in. Everything seems to be yours. I don't wanna fight no more!.
I've lost count of all my tears. I'm so lonely without you here. When I'm out with my girls I lie. I still say we're together. I try but I can't speak the words.
I was confused. I was empty and alone. I never knew if you were real. Ever since you said hello. . How could you look away. When I said to stay?. How'd you leave so easily?.
You stole something that I can't put my finger on. But I know it was you. So don't come around trying to look so smooth. . You took something that I'm missing but I don't know what.
It's been three days since we spoke. Since you thought of me. I can tell by the way the air smells. The way the earth rotates. . And it hurt my side. When I recognized it's all over now.
(or, suv protest song #3). . Oh, out into the races. Oh, out into the cold. Where the cars look like bad belly dancers. They try to get a hold of me. .
Green branches rain-soaked roads. Make you want go away. I want to go too. Put this city behind me and you. . Blank pages. Fill them up. With the things you want to say.
Morningshine. I don't see your kind much but I like it like this. If you wreck your car. I won't get to see you in the morning. . If I was a fly on the wall.
Dance moves all summer long. You're sticking in my head. As soon as I get down a step or two. You change them up again. . Machine, gotta lotta chrome.
She blasted straight up like a blue crop duster. A tiny vulture to where the air is fresh and clear. In her blue bathing suit with the green and yellow fruit.
Your words dig in under my skin. I try to get at them but I'm faint. I'm tainted,. Lightheaded like animation. All over me. I think I'm gonna make a run for it until I'm safe.
I've got a secret secret. It's coming out to meet you. Now it wants you to hear it through. . It woke me up at home. It won't leave me alone. I've got it in my speakers, too.
Staring at the sky. There's angels in the snow. Wishing she could fly high. Above the world below. . All that she wanted is to be wanted. She's sitting on the stairs.
There's an empty room, full of memories. And everywhere I look, it's where you used to be. It's like a photograph, a moment froze in time. I'm staring at your face, even when I close my eyes.
Lying here on the bed. Can we talk about nothing. Pictures in my head. 'Cause we know whats coming. . Whatever it takes. Wherever it takes us. Can I always find you here.
