You could have said "You’re fucking up my life,"
Maybe that’s all you meant to say.
These old tired walls need some support
Before I come crashing down.
Because you’re everything i'm not-
A reflection from a sinking ship
Because you're everything I want,
And I’m an open book, torn and ripped.
You’re the roof over my head
Even when you’re miles and miles away.
Stability’s a word I’m not quite used to yet.
I’m always either wandering or lost. (I'm a stray).
Because you’re everything I'm not
A reflection from a sinking ship
Because you're everything I want,
And I’m an open book, torn and ripped.
Torn and ripped.
I guess common sense isn’t so common after all (torn and ripped).
I guess common sense isn’t so common after all (torn and ripped).
I guess common sense isn’t so common after all.
I won’t hold you up any longer you’ll just have to take the fall.
I guess common sense isn’t so common after all.
I won’t hold you up any longer you’ll just have to take the fall.
You’d blame it on the heat that the sun got in the way.

Expectations

I spent the weekend tossing and turning, and woke up sore in the morning.
When they find us limp they'll wind us back into what we call life.
And we'll be so alive.
We'll be so alive.
We’re all just flesh and blood.
Shattered bones and broken hearts.
I find it kind of funny how you fight your sheets at night.
And how your pillow steals the air right from your lungs.
I'll promise you forever and keep this to myself,
But if they find us out I can’t promise you your health.
And we'll be so alive.
We'll be so alive.
We’re all just flesh and blood.
Shattered bones and broken hearts.
I won’t fill your shoes, but I'll stand twice as tall. (x4)

If I cut off both my legs would it stop me from running back to you?
And if I cut off all the ties would my phone still ring every single night?
No I’m not a better person,
But I’m healing. It’s a process.
It’ll pass in time, but it’s never gone for good.
I don’t sleep much anymore,
Not in fear but out of regret
That I’m shedding my own skin
Sooner than I should.
If I grow up to fast, please hold my head up for me.
I wish I could read more maps than books,
But cartography was never my strong suit.
Seeing the world so vast just makes me want to take a train,
Across the whole damn thing, but I’ll just sleep instead.
No I’m not a better person,
But I’m healing. It’s a process.
It’ll pass in time, but it’s never gone for good.
I don’t sleep much anymore,
Not in fear but out of regret
That I’m shedding my own skin
Sooner than I should.
I’ve never wanted much so this is all I’ve got.
I wouldn’t ask for more cause nobody’s listening. (x3)
