Every time that you go
I look back, but you don’t
When I look you in the eyes
I feel it every time
I think you could kill me this time
You shouldn’t have said those things
You know I can’t forget them
It’s engrained in my brain and
I’ll never be the same
Cause it’s you who said them
You can have all of me
Go ahead, you can take
Every little piece
Till I’ve got nothing left
Watch as I take my last breath
Maybe then would you care?
Do you care if I’m there?
It’s so nice to know you
I wanna stay right here with you
You could kill me twice
And I would come back for a third time
I’d hold your hand as you drown me
You can have all of me
Go ahead, you can take
Every little piece
Till I’ve got nothing left
Watch as I take my last breath
You don’t care if I’m there
Or anywhere
It hurts to be in the world
Knowing I’ll never really be in your world
When it hurts I tell myself, if you didn’t wanna be there
Then you wouldn’t have been there
You can have all of me
Go ahead, you can take
Every little piece
I’m just a body to use
When you’re bored and confused
You don’t care if I’m there
You don’t care if I’m anywhere
So maybe I won’t be anywhere

Conversations on the side of the street
How nice it seemed
Moments on a dead end street
A glance to change everything
Conversations on a bench
How wrong it went
Moments beside of a tree
More than it seemed
The city skyline cries
For all the sadness that lies
In the old times
Conversations on the sidewalk
How bad it felt
Moments change everything
Now an old distance dream
The empty benches cry
For all the sadness that lies
Frozen in the time
They’re cutting all the trees down
New ones appearing out of the ground
Sirens are singing, children are screaming
The dogs are barking now
But hardly a sound
Hardly a sound
Only a sound
Only a sound

Cloudy vision
Can’t see the distance
Only know the here and now
Backing tracks then
To how it was when
We lived in slow motion
The field is moving
Slowly looping
Old life is passing by
Early warnings
Parallel plans
Best believe, the lines would cross
Like clouds in the sky
Never knowing why
Buzzing power lines
Trying to pass the time
On a train to nowhere
Always back around
Stripped of all the color
Trying to find a sound

we broke up
i broke down
hung around
this town
walk between
highway signs
split the night in two
pair of dice
paradise
jersey city’s
pretty nice
palisades
in the rain
guess i’ll walk
the long way
drift past the mall with the half lit up sign it’s a hundred degrees at midnight
everyone’s out getting drunk or married i can’t tell the difference anymore.. no I can’t tell the difference anymore
lightning strike
from the pier
smoke a joint
disappear
riddle this
riddle that
you can keep
my favorite hat
maybe i’m a narcissist
the kind that you might want to kiss
catch the eye
of the storm
take a bow
sweep the floor
drift past the mall with the half lit up sign it’s a hundred degrees at midnight
everyone’s out getting drunk or married i can’t tell the difference anymore.. no I can’t tell the difference anymore

friends
friends until the end
the end is in his head
he’s walking to the bridge
in the nighttime
wait
waits until it turns
waits until it burns
drops into a bar
just to kill time
fuck
he’s fucking lost his mind
it happens all the time
it happens every time
but it’s okay
stay
stays until he’s right
stays up thru the night
wanders home and
sits down to write
she hides her eyes
gray blue
two sides
she pines
inside
but outside
it’s fine
it’s fine
yea its definitely fine
friends
friends are all he needs
it’s better when he bleeds
it’s better when he sings
from a broken heart
heart is just a word
he knows he’s gotta learn
he knows he’s gotta learn a lesson
cut
cuts into his hands
find the lines that bend
finds the stars that send
him a message -
fall
falls into the ground
never makes a sound
he never made a sound
but he’s screaming
four eyes
once bright
now dull
and tired
she tries
to find
some sense
some sign
some sign
maybe it was wrong to be right
what would happen if she met him tonight
better off as friends
better off as friends
better off i guess
believe it
friends
friends until the end
the end is in his head
he’s walking to the bridge
believe it

we sit in your room
writing a tune
the hours they fly
like birds in the night
so the poets take turns
the candlewick burns
trading their lines
until it gets quiet
starlight in june
i knew it as soon
as i put on my boots
maple and spruce
why couldn’t you choose
just one of the two
hot air balloon
crickets in june
the cow jumps the moon
starlight in june
i knew it as soon
as i put on my boots
maple and spruce
why couldn’t you choose
just one of the two
sure don’t know much
but i’m sure of your touch
could it be enough
this time around?
