Find the time.

You've gotten small enough to repeat now.
Small enough that it's just your face in the cracks
Between these words
Smiling and staring staring and smiling
I don't know which way I like it better.
But you fell. You fell and I fell because I saw your weaknesses.
Like beautiful wrinkles, like ugly Botox.
Running, why didn't you tell me you were fast.
If I had known how quickly you were going to leave
What I thought we had
I would have laced up my sneakers too.
I don't think you should leave.
I want you out.
I can't lead you in your struggle I can't lead your path.
I won't do drugs I'm too good at math.
They were all in my class
They were all in my class
And Now I Love Them
Did they turn me you've got to wonder before
The structure for wondering falls down.
If nothing comes from nothing
Then what we had was nothing.
But when we spoke and laughed and slept
How much I wanted to believe it was something else.

Grow up.

Maybe if you listened to me as intently as you did to her
You'd know that I have just as much to say.
Her hair is as fake as she is!
Her hair is as fake as she is!
You stared right through me and missed me somehow
Do I stand taller? Do I smile brighter?
Don't look at me, you'll see
What common, uncommon love I've found with out you.
It ends tonight,
You've got it right.
Don't forget that you might have missed something possible.
And I won't forget that I deserve better than you because everyone deserves more than nothing.

I need a lover with soul power

Buying will prove my soul's existence,
Only in consumption can we see what we spend
And what we're worth
My cell phone keeps my breast bone warmed
When just last night it was my head on your shoulder
The rules are choking the life out of me
I don't know how to break free
Tell me your secret
Teach me to drive.
