Stop me if I call you my friend
Cause I rolled up my sleeves
And picked the last snow off the ground
Waited until it was 60 degrees
And laughter was the sound
That cold heart I preserved
Preserved perfectly
A flawless, ingenious, evil plan
A snowball for how far I've fallen
In love with you
It's not the way it should've been
But it's what happened
The girl next door
Was the attention I was fighting for
Do you remember
Flirting for the first time
Counting rose pedals
To find a sign
She loves me
She loves me not

Were they destined to collide
Unaware like asteroids
That fall to the earth
And block out the sky
Shooting stars move faster than you
And I wonder
If they crash too
Or where they came from
Where do they all belong
Is it the same reason
Why you close the door when you sleep alone
Is it the same reason
Why you itch your scabs to the bone
And I've tried
To read your eyes
But your mouth
Can't stop lies
That your tongue
Is committed to

When I die
I'm gonna beg Saint Peter to bring me back
For the good times with friends
And less time spent in bed
Kissing yo before work
Where you go and you're miserable
Cause you go where its stressful
You come home and you're intolerable
You come home and you're hurtful to me
I don't have to be in all your dreams
Just so long as you love me during the day
Cause I can be anyone when you're asleep
But I'm not guilt-free from you
When I'm thinking of someone else too
Someone less miserable
Someone less stressful
Someone less intolerable
Someone less hurtful
Someone less human

I must sound more
Intelligent on paper than
In person
And I fear its getting worse
Cause I've only seen this shade of white
Once before
And I don't want to blend in
To these white walls
That surround this prison
So let's keep in touch
When we're too far
Away to feel much
Say the first thing that comes
In your letter
Cause we're too far
Away to hear better
Say the first thing that comes
To your small head

All these memories
In places I'll never live at again
The sound of that city
I couldn't stand
Those windows
I spent a year in front of
Watching the leaves change
While I still stayed the same
I will miss my friends
After they're gone
But don't ask me to
Admit it right now
Cause we're still locked in our rooms
Still mad about who knows

I step out
And I regret
What I'm wearing
Should've saved it for a better day
When I feel
More attractive
And when pictures would be taken
Because life is
A performance
And I'm a male
But I bought this dress here on sale
Doesn't it look pretty
On the reflection of intolerant eyes
And the compliments seem better off
Spiteful lips
I swear I'll get you for this

We watched the sunrise
In all four states
As I carried
These layers of skin
Across the Potomac
Into the city
And I came home with more
Quotes from bumper stickers
That made us laugh
You
Pacify
The fire
In my eyes

You laugh and your lip splits
Blood is abundant
But we panic when its shown
Now I've spent time alone
In the car judging dead squirrels
For falling for stories of greener pastures
And then braving the road
Without a hand to hold
Or the slightest idea
Of where to go
We're so
Very fragile
Oh so
Very fragile
But we'd rather believe
That we're invincible
Like the love between
Two reciprocal
The skin marks won't fade
And it's your name I'll be coughing up
When you show off your legs
In my memories
But you can't
In that coffin

This is everything I wish I wanted
But like the sun that chases the moon
I'm after you
Sunrise to sunset
Hoping you'll slip, trip into eclipses
Or dark abysses and can't find a way home
And when God's left you alone
You'll finally get it
The cry of why
Won't pass the sky
Nor will it reach
Into the universe
So try to immerse
In the idea
That the smaller you get
The better you feel
