Lots of people want a lot of things warm bodies and wedding rings i'd be happy with a rock to stand on ocean in every direction no way to ever tell all the ways we can hurt ourselves blame it all on someone else try to help, tell 'em go to hell, well How'd you ever make it past the cold heart that i thought i had history i can barely remember seems like all i know is together little kid with a lot to prove who got sharper as he grew now all i know is you now all i know is you you say "you seem so sad" i know i hear it all the time don't say "what soothes your sigh?" you know my love is on my mind hate to say it but it's getting worse i'm in love and it really hurts looking out at the muddy skyline every heartache feels like the first time if i'm lucky i will dream my way to the apartment that i never clean take a lifetime just to listen to you humming in your sleep Wish i could say it like i wanted to tender words that i wish i knew turn you back to a lover laughing you're the best thing that's ever happened to my silly little life of blue cripple heart with a lot to do but now all i know is you now all i know is you you say "you seem so sad" i know i hear it all the time don't say "what soothes your sigh?" you know my love is on my mind you say "you seem so sad" i know i hear it all the time don't say "what soothes your sigh?" you know my love is on my mind my love is on my mind my love is on my mind

All the years of screwing up my heart and hating those that i had broken i was only waiting just to love with you couldn't stop it if i wanted to and you were not into me i am something reckless envious and lonely praying just to get this right before i die i have miles left to fly and well honey i've been weighing less with every evening pressing you to love me wishing you could keep me tethered to the ground to this lovely life i've found i'm lucky that you love me i am something graceless love is never easy following our last kiss i will say goodbye to the peace of my heart and mind losing light staggering home from a bloody fight i've got my reasons maybe i can learn in time to grow maybe i can grow in time to turn turn around and bathe in the truth when it all comes out i'll take your sentence anything your lips pronounce anything your lips pronounce all in all we're fools to some celestial fire who'd of thought i'd want so badly not to fly off to my glorious dream somehow you've become a part of me and all the years of screwing up my heart and hating those that i had broken i was only waiting just to love with you couldn't stop it if i wanted to

Baby don't you worry it's a little better every day and there isn't any hurry love like that don't go away and soon i'll be there with you the feeling of my skin on yours i am fairly certain humans were created for and the roar of the crowd in the black of the yard they ask what i see when i look at the stars calling my name as i get in the car asking where all of my victories are i say she must be sleeping to want so much that you lie awake to miss your touch every day to need to love and just fear you've got my heart but the city gets cold without you here swear that i am feeling every bit as down as you but i couldn't cut it off not if i wanted to for when i am sinking even at my deepest low i am miles higher than i thought i'd ever go and the roar of the crowd in the black of the yard they ask what i see when i look at the stars calling my name as i get in the car asking where all of my victories are i say she is far from me to want so much that you lie awake to miss your touch every day to need to love and just fear you've got my heart but the city gets cold without you here to want so much that you lie awake to miss your touch every day to need to love and just fear you've got my heart but the city gets cold without you here the city gets cold without you here the city gets cold without you here

Don't wanna lay awake at night and wonder if maybe i'm just being moody don't wanna let you go and hope that somehow the world might bring you back to me don't wanna hear you say it hurts and sometimes i wish that i never did love you baby i don't want a lot of things but that doesn't make them anything less than true and ever since you showed me how to climb up on the roof i've been doing it nightly who'd have thought that a place of quiet could ever exist above a room i live in the other night i sat in the dark and cried for the first time since i was thirteen i know i've been acting different but i'm gonna miss this shitty apartment been thinking bout a lot of things but i haven'y quite yet come to any conclusions considering every angle and always ending with one of us losing i wish i could answer like i knew when you ask what i think you should do i know i've been acting different but i can't believe how much i love you do you think that this could be what it feels like to be loving truly wishing you could see what every single move you make does to me if we're being honest i'm a little bit terrified because i never told you but my parents also met at my age in college Don't wanna lay awake at night and wonder if maybe i'm just being moody don't wanna letchu go and hope that somehow the world might bring you back to me don't wanna hear you say it hurts and sometimes i wish that i never did love you baby i don't want a lot of things but that doesn't make them anything less than true
