so gently top
she rubs her cheek against the pillowcase with an embrace
she is far away enjoying
she claims her sense of self is caught inside
amplified
waiting to burst so she tells me

is it all when i cry so gently
is it all when i cry so gently
everyone is lost in my heart heart heart

all YOU expressions come dance along
carry on
wave to the jerks in the audience
all of YOU insecure tendencies
bend your knees and bow
try now to make amends

is it all when i cry so gently
is it all when i cry so gently
everyone is lost in my heart heart heart


too late top
theres a clear breeze inside
theres a storm but its all right
she smiles at me everything is too late
ive heard it all before everything is late
ive dreamed it all before
ive heard it all before
ive heard it all before

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive heard it all before

there are fake stars that lie about the magic white
they can line it up when everyone is bored
ive seen it all before everything is fake
ive seen her before on the other side of the road
ive seen her all alone
ive seen her all alone

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive seen her all alone

a curse is broken every day when i feel YOU in my mind
the picture of your face is breaking me alive
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want YOU to stay
i want i want i want YOU to stay
(i want YOU to stay)

i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
everything is late
i want it all but its too late
i know shes alright
ive seen her all alone


half empty top
a grey car with broken lights and at modest speed
i think her lips formed a hi as it passed by
and i decided to smile back but it felt so fake
so i decided to go home and be alone

i think she likes her memories i can tell
i can tell on the way her eyes relax and cease to focus on anything thats present

its a wise kitchen table atmosphere
just how nice determined by me over here

so move along
move along

my glass of water on the floor
half empty
the strength i measure in her eyes
half empty

her shadow on the snow displaying nothing
so i suggested wed walk home and wait for spring

its a wise kitchen table atmosphere
just how nice determined by my over here

so move along
move along
move along
move along
move along


sad attempt top
undress me so dearly
i see it so clearly
your sad winter coat
like a body on the floor
allow me the feeling
your thoughts so concealing
intrude interfere
but i rather not go near

again a thing to store

ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
in the corner of your eye

remember it always
remember it always
a dead winter coat
by the doorway had a closed

again a thing to store

ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
ive seen it all before
a sad attempt to smile
in the corner of your eye
of your eye
