i’ve worked hard for my solitude
can’t just give it up, hand it over to you
so the moment passes and i’m still standing still
been trying all these times but i’ve had my fill
it’s a failure to finish off every page in the past
keeps on coming, keeps coming right on back
it’s all of these best laid plans
and how they penetrate
every hand i try and hold
hold up to the light
somehow never fits, never fits quite right
think i’ll be making my way back out again tonight
it’s a weight to carry, and i won’t
it’s a lead to bury, and i don’t
it’s a weight to carry, and i won’t
it’s a lead to bury, and i don’t
can you feel the restlessness that burns in me?
it’s a fire that flickers deep
am you just the flame to my gasoline,
and i wanna know
what could you have ever expected of me?
where exactly did you think this would lead?
we could travel a million days on a million streets
and still you see, oooh, you see
how the feeling, how it escapes from me
i’ve worked hard for my solitude,
don’t think i’ll be handing it over to you

you went on tour,
and you stopped writing me letters
i felt silly while you found somebody better
i had nothing to write back so i kept myself in check
just silently sank into a sorrowful blue,
little bit sad ‘cause you didn’t love me
the way i wanted you to
you were seething and you said,
things i couldn’t forget at 5am
while we’re trying to be friends
and we both know how this one ends
i know all your apologies by heart
supposedly sorry but you’re still throwing darts
little bit mad ‘cause i didn’t love you
the way you wanted me to
i brought you houseplants and a jar of soup
gentle and sorry gifts on your stoop
you called me grateful to say
but i was already three blocks away
and we both knew it was a solemn tribute
to the fact that i couldn’t love you
in the way you needed me to
who am i if i am nothing to you?
i’ve read those names and i’ve seen those faces
sometimes love takes you to dark places
but i touched you, everytime
and i love you, i do
but i just can’t love you in the way you want me too

hate the way you say hello
don’t want you to stay but i don’t want you to go
take all the ways i told you so
stepping wide and sailing out the window
off of the sidewalk and into the street
i can dress up like the freak that you need me to be
but the days still bleed like broken teeth
into one another exactly like each other
feeling like you’re fading when i try to make you mine
you know i’m silver sad waterproof and wasting all my time
baby insecurity comes across like insincerity
you’re doing backflips for cans of beans
and im holding out my hat and looking kinda mean
youre only ever sorry when you make yourself sick
turn yourself around and forget it all quick
ridiculous when you do it all again
forward charades and i’m tired of those games
youre talking up a storm while youre promising to quit
so you tie your tongue in knots just to keep it in your lips
but the days still bleed like broken teeth
into one another exactly like each other
feeling like you’re fading when i try to make you mine
you know im silver sad waterproof and wasting all my time

will you write poems out of my grief,
and rub my back, when i lose my teeth?
will you paint me a portrait
from the slings and arrows,
of my outrageous fortune?
will you lift the bricks up from my back
and build a home, with the tools i lack?
will you strike the sorrow down from my skies,
no telling how, or asking me why?
will you just let me be when i need to be me?
and if my eyes go colourblind,
colour in the world for me?
will you find the fairytale inside my failure
speak to me in certainties when my step is unsure?
will you sing a sweet melody
to my racked and crumbling body?
still hold me
still love me
still love me
when i forget how to tell time
when my memory c eases to rewind
when im slowly losing my mind?
will you still be mine?
