Here I Go (Again)

Here I go again
Reading into every word you said
Romanticize your glances in my head
I do it to myself when
You distract me from
Everything I lack
I would say it but
You won’t call me back
Sometimes I pretend a
That I know you from your sentences
Filling in gaps to make peace with the end
Before it even happens
You distract me from
Everything I lack
I would say it but
You won’t call me back
Is the home that I built for you in my mind too crowded?
Can you sit inside and stretch your legs?
Find out what you want instead?
And I told myself I wanted to change with you
But you never challenge me, does that mean I’m irreplaceable?
That is til you find somebody new?
You distract me from
Everything I lack
I would say it but
You won’t call me back

Want you to know
I see the darkness in your eyes
I was always afraid of
You tilt your head to me and say
“Hey girl, this what you’re made of”
But I don’t
See the resemblance
You are smoking cigarettes
Limping to a taxi
Quiet in backseat
Crying in the middle of the living room floor
Needed someone steady
But that shit is heavy
And they can’t fit through the door
Want you to know
And you parade him
Parade him like a dog
Spilling guts for him to clean up
I know his fur is wonderful
But his thumbs aren’t opposable
And I will help him floor wash the floor of you
As soon as he is ready to I know
I’m just so logical
You’d think it’d be impossible
Limping to a taxi
Quiet in the backseat
Crying in the middle of the living room floor
Needed someone steady
But that shit is heavy
And they can’t fit through the door
Want you to know
Limping to a taxi
Quiet in the backseat
Crying in the middle of the living room floor
Needed someone steady
But that shit is heavy
And they can’t fit through the door

Ohhh that voicemail thing with the dirty trick, Laura
You speak in tongues sometimes
And pause to gesture
Meaninglessly before moving on
My left ear hurts
My left ear hurts
My left ear hurts
My left ear
Try to consider every possibility
Wanna understand but you won’t do the same for me
I used to hang off of your every word
Now that branch is breaking, looks like I am getting hurt
You’re so accommodating, so let me put on a song
Swipe my hand away like everything I like is wrong
Like everything I like is wrong
We don’t talk sometimes
But I still
Find ways to listen
Briefly you mention me before
Moving on
We have a lot
We have a lot
We have a lot of secrets
Try to consider every possibility
Wanna understand but you won’t do the same for me
I used to hang off of your every word
Now that branch is breaking, looks like I am getting hurt
You’re so accommodating, so let me put on a song
Swipe my hand away like everything I like is wrong
Like everything I like is wrong
Like everything I like is wrong
Like everything I like

Can’t believe you don’t see
The reality
Of this situation
I get you wanna blame me
But do it quietly
I’m not into confrontation
And everytime I think about it
I clench my wrist in my other hand
Walking in the hallway
On the same day
Wondering what they said
But I hope that you take into account
I was just a kid
Something stolen
Didn’t give you the right
To take this from me
And I’ll never get it back
All the trust I used to have
That someone might take care of me
Can’t believe you don’t see
The reality
Of this situation
I get you wanna blame me
But do it quietly
I’m not into confrontation
And I hope that you take into account
I was just a kid
Something stolen
Didn’t give you the right
To take this from me
And I’ll never get it back
All the trust I used to have
That someone might take care of me
No one’s coming
No one’s coming
No one’s coming
And I hope that you take into account
And I hope you take into account
And I hope that you take into account
Chorus
I was just a kid
Something stolen
Didn’t give you the right
To take this from me
And I’ll never get it back
All the trust I used to have
That someone might take care of me
Extra Extra Read all about it
So sit there in your dark room
Whistling old tunes
Giving yourself the pity
I think that I have earned it
i’ve done the quiet shit
I’ve got the right to be angry
And I wish didn’t know you
Like I used to
I know what you’re thinking
My stomach yearns for vengeance
You stole my kindness
And you don’t even care
it’s amazing what you’ll justify
can’t look me in the eyes
insist that you’re not guilty

Laura's Sad Song

I want to know you
To convince myself
That I am worthy of your time
But the reason that I just can’t get it out
Must be something inside me that doesn’t believe it
And I know that I’m alright
But I feel like I have to prove it
And I know
One of these nights
Or sooner or later that I’m gonna lose it
Oh please, oh please believe me
I want these things I can’t see
The earth just keeps on spinning
And I am getting dizzy
I want to love you so I can love someone else
I’m not diluted enough to think that you are mine
And I’m sorry, crash dummy, it just didn’t work out
And I wish that I didn’t believe in next times
Cuz I know I’m not alive
What's it like on the right side of dirt?
And I know I won’t like
The answers you give me
I’m too scared to see for myself
Oh please believe me
(please believe me, please believe me)
I want these things I can’t see
(things I can’t see, things I can’t see)
The earth just keeps on spinning
(please believe me, please believe me)
And I am getting dizzy
Oh please, oh please believe me
(The future isn’t a place)
I want these things I can’t see
(To go to on a rainy day)
The earth just keeps on spinning
(There is nowhere to stay)
And I am getting dizzy
(And I don’t need to escape)

Middle of June

Over before it began
With no place to restart
And no plan to reprimand
Silence felt infinite
My hopes became diminished
This isn’t the life that I’d imagined us living
Middle of June
With no one left to confuse
You’re taking your time
To come to grips with
My unfurnished interest
And misleading cues
This is the last time I’ll think of you
And now you can’t catch me
I’m running away from the start
And now I won’t be seen
Inviting myself in your heart
The asphalt of the road trip
Was paved with broken ribs
And broken promises
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I didn’t know I could do
That to someone
All clad in armor but I’m holding the gun
And now you can’t catch me
I’m running away from the start
And now I won’t be seen
Inviting myself in your heart
I can’t understand how this time
Went straight to your head
And I find
The way that I am
Goes back to front, back to front
And over again
I can’t understand how this time
Went straight to your head
And I find
The way that I am
Goes back to front, back to front
And over again

I make every decision in my life
I make the wrong decisions all the time
No matter what the world is looking like
We fuck up and get up again
And that’s the part that terrifies me
I’ve been in places where I couldn’t see
The light at the end might get switched off again
And there’s nowhere to go when the dark finds me
And maybe that’s okay
An acceptance in a way
The illusion of control
Doesn’t serve us anymore
If there’s nowhere we can run
Then there’s nowhere else to be
So I’ll sit right here with you
Try to find the space to
Breathe
I know what I’d change about myself
If you want me to, I need your help
I find I’m always trying way too hard
For things I that don’t even think I want
Tap my shoulder and say
I should like this one day
And it’s all that I will ever think about
Now I realize that you didn’t know me
You were drunk and you just wanted to see
If it would make you feel good
To give advice that you should
Have taken back when you were sixteen
But I’ll make the same mistakes
All I wanted was a break
From the simple and mundane
When we have it feel the same
Now I want that simple life
I’ll deny myself the right
To an earth ship in the hills
I’m afraid of sitting
Still
I know what I’d change about myself
If you want me to I need your help
It’s bold to assume you’d change me
If you cared enough you’d sooner leave
My vision’s clouded with your compromise
You made a promise, look me in the eyes
And tell me what was more important
I know you have to pay your mortgage
When will I stop entertaining
This idea that I’m not changing
Days go by and I accomplish more than I blink an eye at
I don’t know who I am without this
The suffocation of industriousness
But at least I know that I use you to distract myself with
And I’ll never be fixed

Who didn’t know things would be this way
When we watched the sky start falling
Too many sunny afternoons
I didn’t know it would feel the same
It reminded me of spring again
And I don’t want another spring
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today
I’ll find the time to file thoughts
In my head I’ll rearrange
These days I don’t feel anything
I remember almost nothing
But it’s okay you said you’re on your way
It’s taking up all the time I have
To catch up with everything again
I’m running, like I have somewhere to be
I’m moving at three times the speed
To distract myself from hearing
All the possibilities
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today
I’ll find the time to file thoughts
In my head I’ll rearrange
These days I don’t feel anything
I remember almost nothing
But it’s okay you said you’re on your way
It’s okay you said you’re on your way
It’s okay because I’ll see you
When the weekend comes to pass
And I’ll be by you when the sky starts spinning fast
These days I don’t feel anything I remember almost nothing
But it’s okay you said you’re on your way

Don’t how I got to this place
Everyone’s talking with nothing to say
Crowded house no one is getting out
It’s a fire hazard but let’s burn this shit down
I see sirens in the round about
I think I really need to get out
I’m driving fast past the 305
Something happened and I changed my mind
Don’t why I feel old tonight
I don’t want to
Always live my life between my dreams
Cause real time seems to happen for eternity
And here I always see you driving past
Never toward me
I wanna sit on your dust coated bed
With your knees to your chest and my hand on my head
No one ever feels the weight of your words
So don’t laugh it off, let me see how you hurt
I don’t need anyone to hear me
Being known isn’t so easy
I’m driving fast past the 305
Something happened and I changed my mind
Don’t why I feel old tonight
I don’t want to
I always live my life between my dreams
Cause real time seems to happen for eternity
And here I always see you driving past
Never toward me
Driving fast past the 305
Can’t help but wonder what it would be like
If I could live my life like I want to
I always live my life between my dreams
Cause real time seems to happen for eternity
And here I always see you driving past
Never toward me
If only I could find the time to slow down
Cuz everything seems better in the breakdown
