I wish we were friends when we were kids I've gotten so much older now... I'll deal with it Like when I didn't recognize my mother wearing a wig And I made her cry, gave her something else to fix I'm so selfish but maybe that's just growing up Fill my body up with innocence until I throw it up And my chest hurts from never being what you want And I can never sleep right, I'm shaking until dawn But when I'm gone, don't go and find no one better I know I'm selfish but I promise I'm trying When I'm gone, if my ghost wants to hold you, let her I'm so selfish when I call you crying I miss stealing wine and crushing pills in our drinks Now my apartment's mostly mirrors, I just stare at the sink And I feel so alone out here It never rains, I can't see stars, I end up drowning in fear Pace around inside a box until I'm buried in one You were my daylight, now I'm afraid of the sun I'm hanging up above the freeway, I can't block out the noise You're telling me to calm down like I ever had a choice. I'm sorry When I'm gone, don't go and find no one better I know I'm selfish but I promise I'm trying When I'm gone, if my ghost wants to hold you, let her I'm so selfish when I call you crying

Ignoring calls from all my friends
'Cause I'm too high to leave my room
Started smoking just to see my breath
And the angel told me he'll be coming soon
This is a different kind of sunrise
Where everything turns cold and blue
And I guess that's just December, but last July
We stayed up all night and I was warm with you

And I know talk is cheap but hell, at least I can afford it
Everybody needs a lover they can keep until the morning
And we'll get drunk on our potential, talk out our problems and ignore 'em
No one said it would be easy, hell, at least it isn't boring
And now I'm spinning in my room half-naked, talking to the moon
And dripping poison down my throat just to wash out the taste of you
And now my hometown is a desert, my body eats itself in spirals
Watch my skin fall off in patches, lay back down it's just denial

Last night the fireworks kept me awake
And I'm afraid I'm turning cold
But I cleaned my room alone again on New Year's Day
And we'll talk again when I know what to say

And I know talk is cheap but hell, at least I can afford it
Everybody needs a lover they can keep until the morning
And we'll get drunk on our potential, talk out our problems and ignore 'em
No one said it would be easy, hell, at least it isn't boring
And now I'm spinning in my room half-naked, talking to the moon
And dripping poison down my throat just to wash out the taste of you
And now my hometown is a desert, my body eats itself in spirals
Watch my skin fall off in patches, lay back down it's just denial

If I don't turn off the TV I think I'm gonna kill me If we could go back to Spring Street Do you regret that you met me? 'Cause I know it was a rough ride But we held on for a long time Pretty faces and white lines At least we know what it feels like But I remember the first night I laid in your bed And I remember it like you were waiting for this But when I wake from the dream, I hear you pray for the end I try to go back to sleep, but then I feel it again And then I feel it again Do you remember, on Halloween? I kissed your neck, you were waiting For me to say it meant something i told our friend it was nothing But I remember the first night you told me the truth And I remember it like I was waiting for you But when I wake from the dream, I don't know what I should do I try to go back to sleep, I try to go back to sleep But I remember the first night I laid in your bed And I remember it like you were waiting for this But when I wake from the dream, I hear you pray for the end I try to go back to sleep, but then I feel it again And then I feel it again And then I feel it again
