brass pipes screaming drones consumed with dread with every little detail adding up to the end throwing my own words back like they’re some revelation finally spilling the truth and laying it all down at the organ i never wanted to be some drunk girl crying off her head a broken basket washed up on the riverbank of your bed like a child, soul and body, lightness and weight baciami the circus vibe funeral dirge bringing us down with wildflowers fading in the golden hour my bones are too broke to go through all this again i'm crawling out of my skin and leaving my body at the organ and now i'm running my mouth while you stare deadeyed at the wall but if you'd just said the word i'd come back for more and more and more and more and more say it with your whole chest, baciami when you're ready, baciami just fucking kiss me heavy distant silence filling up the car cause you know i want more than just a fuck in the dark give me some kind of clue that you even care a wordless drive to the airport, screaming bright eyes like a prayer but just because i want you doesn't mean i'll wait around if there's one thing you taught me it's turning off and checking out say it with your whole chest, baciami when you're ready, baciami just fucking kiss me i still hope you find a little bit of everything you need and when you know out what that is i'll still be me leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ leave it at the organ

i give you everything and you beg for more you're always sticking around for the encore but i don't want you around babe, i don't want you around you want a girl who you never have to see i want a love that changes me i don't want you around babe, i don't want you around but i don't want you around babe, i don't want you around waking up alone bracing for the come down digging through the wreckage of last night's breakdown betting on futures i know aren't real if there's a chance let's take it if it's a mistake then let's make it i hate how good you make me feel i give you everything and you beg for more you're always sticking around for the encore but i don't want you around babe i don't want you around you want a girl who you never have to see and i want a love that changes me but i don't want you around babe i don't want you around we can keep our heads down like we always do but i can't be the girl that you need me to the best you ever seen, the best is yet to come if you're gonna finally let me in you better take me as i really am the best you ever been, the best is yet to come you tell me that you need me to get by but when i'm in your bed you meet my eyes i know it's not me but it feels like shit cheap words written on water and i'm the best i have to offer but even when i feel worthless i know i'm worth this we can keep our heads down like we always do but i can't be the girl that you need me to the best you ever seen, the best is yet to come if you're gonna finally let me in you better take me as i really am the best you ever been, the best is yet to come dolled up worrying dressed in blue dance to sad songs in the living room leaving all of the hard stuff to someone else the shadow guiding me through the dark comparing the fire in our charts and letting the future worry about itself i give you everything and you beg for more you're always sticking around for the encore but i don't want you around babe i don't want you around you want a girl who you never have to see i want a love that changes me but i don't want you around babe i don't want you around i don't want you around babe i don't want you around i don't want you around babe i don't want you

jet planes going the opposite way contrails cut the sky, the only trace you left in your wake get high, just killing some time the ceiling softens and fades, a steady stream to get through the night can't let you down if you take nothing from me i know i'll never be the girl you need now all that's left is a town split in two and a cut quartz reminder to love myself as much as you do it came to me in a dream waking up from surgery i'm only really as alone as i want to be from the waterfall to the curtain call, all in all it's been worth it it's no one's fault but i'm giving up cause now i know i can't love you enough for the both of us in your arms i took my armor off turned my volume up, believed i was enough but just because we were happy once don't mean we should get stuck in a life spent wondering i hope you find someone who can love you better i know i'm loved cause i feel loved

all the way slipped through the early day cemetery’s drowned in morning dew near the churches draped with ferns that want to see me burn i felt the future buried below my shoes i never thought to second guess the plans i made at somebody's behest a game of chicken to keep my arrow true i always have to make amends when i stray from the perfect end now i don’t know where i’m going but i won't get there by waiting around for you there's no way the mystery can remain digging through dumpsters, sifting for a clue you’ve got a voice that i adore and i’ve seen that face before my knees are shaking and restless waiting for you but, can't bring myself to send the text cause i only pass on the internet a careful angle to keep my smile in view i always seem to make a mess every time i drunk confess how your hand keeps me steady while the world spins underneath you don't know what to expect when you hold my eyes with that rough caress smoke in the sky, electric bleeding hue don't mean to be a hypocrite, but let’s maybe slow it down a bit let the current flow through and over you pulling us into that deep, deep blue
