Reflections in your eyes tear me apart and the smile that you give me gets lost in the dark, but I can’t seem to find a way to express all the words that I’m trying to get out of my head Cause my heart starts to race when you play with your hair and the curl of your lips in an unsustained stare makes me stutter my words as I run out of breath cause my confidence shakes when you look at me like that Cause every word you say runs around in my head while your silhouette’s haunting my half empty bed cause my memories vague and it cripples my view but I remember every single reflection of you Now all I think about’s the green in your eyes cause your picture’s the only thing stuck in my mind, but reminiscing makes it hard to pull through cause every day on this town’s another day spent without you Cause every word you say runs around in my head while your silhouette’s haunting my half empty bed cause my memories vague and it cripples my view but I remember every single reflection of you But a shadow lit room and an awkward first kiss makes up for all those golden opportunities missed and I’m trying to keep all this weight in my chest but it’s hard when you’re running around in my head And I know I’m not the kind of guy you want to bring home cause my clothes are a mess and my hair smells like smoke but I’m trying to change into what I should be, I’m not all you deserve but you’re all that I need And if you take my hand I’ll never let go cause I’d give you the world if that’s what I could hold but for now all I have is this trickling hope that you’ll hang on to me and you’ll never let go Cause every word you say runs around in my head while your silhouette’s haunting my half empty bed cause my memories vague and it cripples my view but I remember every single reflection of you But a shadow lit room and an awkward first kiss makes up for all those golden opportunities missed and I’m trying to change into what I should be, I’m not all you deserve but you’re everything to me

I pick my battles carefully What did you mean when you said "Sorry"? Feels like you don't wanna be here Sometimes I don't wanna be here. Say what I don't wanna say Drunk out of my mind. We should sleep but I'm trying the best I can To spend the time we've got left together. So what's the point? When you say you're gonna be here, when you're not gonna be here? What's the point? What's the point? So what's the point? When you say you're gonna be here, when you're not gonna be here? What's the point? When you say you're gonna be here, when you're not gonna be near me?

So close but drifting away, I can help if you concentrate, fragments of me in your arms, cause you can tear me apart So why can’t we escape, cause I can’t take this place, so why can’t we just runaway Still feel your breath on my neck, the questions circling around our bed the silence drowns our the rain with nothing left to explain So why can’t we escape, cause I can’t take this place, so why can’t we just runaway Cause I never meant to push you into a place of constraint and I never meant to hurt you so why can’t we runaway

Found myself sleeping in someone else's living room. Someone else's house that is warmer than mine. Going through the motions of what happened last week, and I feel weak. Ignoring your messages might be the best option I have. Sipping this hot cup of coffee I did not understand. How you could drink, until now. How you could drink, until now. Silently wishing I could see you again. Somewhere other than, Your one bedroom apartment on a street that's never quiet But it helps to kill the silence in the room. It's quiet, maybe way too much. I can hear my heartbeat as our feet touch. I'll keep you warm if you want me to. But you don't need me, as much as I need you. It's about time we'd come to realize: Electric blankets can do what I can do. Fucking miss your face but I don't think I'll see it today Cause I'm pissed and I don't want you to see me that way On the train home, I hope my phone lasts. Lucky for me it doesn't stop til Box Hill, so it'll be fast. I don't have a job, and I don't do Anything productive with my life I'll keep you warm if you want me to. But you don't need me, as much as I need you. It's about time we'd come to realize: Electric blankets can do what I can do.
