little rocks, unturned stones
shitty places no one goes
i wanted you then
could have told me then it turned out
how the tiny homes that we found
were just dead weight
if two stars collided
would i hear the sound?
the burnt death and arthritis
in my house?
i'm trying hard to make you happy
trying hard to keep it from happening
i know that you're leaving soon,
sunsetting away
will you please just say my name?
success a rabbit made of gold
return too familiar and dull
i gave it my best
and if who i am is not enough
i will my hardest to love
this nightmaring head
dreaming of younger years
and country songs
i wish i could let go
of the things i've lost
i'm trying hard to make you happy
trying hard to keep it from happening
i know that you're leaving soon,
sunsetting away
will you please just say my name?

bad dreams on the interstate
taking in and giving way
bad dreams on the road again
sealing where i've been
and will be
i gave you my coat
and laid down soft
it was raining
i was lost
i was dead on a weekend
i couldn't find what i left
i had been so trapped, birdcages
it comes out as it fades in
i was held in and freed
in the beauty left between
i grabbed the moss and the leaves
i laid down w you and me
i dug my own grave
i felt the loss of weight
skin burnt in the shade
you had everything i gave
i was lost

i could have spent my life mad at you!!!!
but it never would have felt right
will i feel this hollow, this empty for the rest of my life?
will i find no pleasure in success, will i find only nostalgia for my youth
i sepnt hating everything i didn't know about you
i could have mulled it over in my head a million times before i saw
the lies that i resided in were always wrong
if i was half the person i pretended to be i'd be a lot more like you
i'd be a reflection of the things so undersired and thought through
i see my youngness spent in exile, my teen years spent alone
every promise that i'd give you is just a debt forever owed
a broken bone, trying to let go, of the words i know, and the ones i don't
i wanna find my heart, i wanna be your art, i want to grow apart, i want to drive so farrrrrr
AND SO:
HERE'S TO YOU, A DREAM OPIATE ANTI-MUSE, THE REASON FOR NO GOOD NEWS, LIKE THE MANY TURNED TO FEW
A STORM SO SENT TO BLACK, LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING I HAD
ERASING EVERY WORD I WROTE, MY POETRY JUST UNDERTOW
I COULD HAVE DROWNED IN MY REGRETS, I COULD HAVE LET GO
I COULD HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH MORE THAN I WILL EVER KNOW
I HOPE WE MEET SOMEDAY, AND TALK LIKE HUMAN BEINGS
TALK ABOUT THE PAST AND THEN WE COULD JUST ACT
LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER BORN OUT OF LATENT TEENAGE SCORN
I COULD LOOK YOU IN THE EYE, I COULD BREATHE WITHOUT A SIGH
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU...
i could spend my life mad at you
