I can’t hold you like I want But we can walk around the block You can tell the truth to me No one here to listen in I thought you were so well I tried so hard to understand But I don’t think you think I can Should I go in or dance around Should I head where I’m not allowed I thought you were so well We’re scared when you are well And we are scared when you are sick We’d give up everything to make a promise We could fix it

It’s Christmas, the one day that I don’t wanna do this You never wanna discuss your choices I see your name all over my phone Elastic, you pull back and get it over it like that Then come around like nothing has happened I wonder how it got to be so Why you calling me out? Some things you gotta do on your own Why you pushing me, why you calling me out? You like to cut too close to the bone Why you pushing me, why you calling me out? Quiet, don’t wanna be the one to ignite you I step around your insults to save you I wonder how you got to be so Why you calling me out? Some things you gotta do on your own Why you pushing me, why you calling me out? You like to cut too close to the bone Why you pushing me, why you calling me out? Cross the line now, cut it out now Gotta save you from a long way down Cross the line now, cut it out now Maybe I could help you out Why you calling me out? Some things you gotta do on your own Why you pushing me, why you calling me out? You like to cut too close to the bone Why you rushing me, why you calling me out? Why you pushing me, why you calling me out?

I hope you’re happy now I hope you sleep on the plane Maybe you’ll get a whole row You know I would die to know December heat, a dream to me But I can feel it, I feel it Every hour takes you further away from me Every time I said I love you, it was real to me So I wait by the phone Though you told me you won’t call We’ve seen the worst of it now Funny calm settles into place Maybe you feel it too All alone in a foreign room I’ve no control, you know me well But I can feel it, I feel it Every hour takes you further away from me Every time I said I love you, it was real to me So I wait by the phone Though we agreed that you won’t call Maybe you’ll find yourself back where we were A park in Austin, precious time to kick the dirt I know you’ll see the birds in pairs I wonder if you’ll think of me out there

Anniversary 03:48
Never had an anniversary Though I had you all those years Smoke blew out to fog and back And we both had no idea Never had an anniversary What the fuck is wrong with me? Chased the work inside a plane You hesitated for so long Beg the love to return again I always this shit so wrong Never had an anniversary What the fuck is wrong with me? ‘Cause the bruise from the fall Always takes some time to show I’m black and blue I’m black and blue for you Wrote the date the day you left Inside the notebook by my bed Maybe this could be ours instead Not the beginning but the end Cause it feels like an anniversary It’s the closest thing to me ‘Cause the bruise from the fall Always takes some time to show I’m black and blue I’m black and blue for you

Flesh 02:52
2am whisper At 2am you talked me down Screen lock alone I think about you all the time Your words wring me out I pour across them all at night Your voice, a bright blue pink I think you about all the time Is what you said Six more weeks of this Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real I type it out and can it Something words can ever say Not mine anyway It’s what you said Six more weeks of this Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real Are you taller than me? Are you smarter than me? You really think ‘bout me? Are you braver than me? Are you smarter than me? Are you in love with me? Six more weeks of this Of not drinking you up in the back of a bar in summer Won’t get used to it ‘til you’re made out of flesh and you’re real

Hospital 04:27
I don’t know who you are When you call me in this state The light hangs in the dark But you’re buried in the blank I’m halfway out the door I pull my shoes back on And all these voices in the car Turn them up, ‘cause I control them And you don’t ask for help from anyone else And I don’t ask for help I wish I could be a hospital Rooms and beds for anyone at all Every need is met Every heart and every head You need me to be a hospital Try to stretch my hands to be it all I can’t move like that I bend and break right back Whiplash from your thoughts Over coffee in the morning A catch in your voice Betray that complicated feeling I’m just trying to be a friend to you at least But that’s not what you need And you don’t ask for help from anyone else And I don’t ask for help I wish I could be a hospital Rooms and beds for anyone at all Every need is met Every heart and every head You need me to be a hospital Try to stretch my hands to be it all I can’t move like that I bend and break right back And if I could Then brick by brick I build the thing myself I’d put you in the nicest room Do you think that would help? And you don’t ask for help from anyone else And I don’t ask for help
