I want to love you like a high school boyfriend
I’d let you walk all over me
I’d tape your photo on my bedroom wall
And wear your sweatshirt to the cemetery
I’ll see the faces of girls you loved and
Crumble away into a nervous fool
You’re jealous of the boys I’m friends with
But I’ll pretend everything is cool
I’ll be whatever you want me to be
I’ll let you take control of me
I promise to be forever honest and true
So why do you always think I’m lying to you?
My best friend will think that you’re bad news
And that we’re getting in way too deep
But she won’t understand what we have
Or all the secrets that we’ll keep
I’ll wait for phone calls that will never come and
I’ll cry in bed until my makeup bleeds
Be better than the girls you used to love
Devotion always guaranteed
I’ll be whoever you want me to be
I’ll let you take control of me
I promise to be forever honest and true
So why am I always breaking up with you?
Your threats will leave me feeling tired and empty
One day I’ll realize that I’m done
Throw out the flowers that you tried to give me
It’s time to go, you’re not the one
When I get lonely I’ll start to wonder
And then I’ll fall into a new romance
And I should really know so much better
But I’m willing to take a chance

My Heart Fell Out

I opened my mouth and my heart fell out
And you said nothing at all
It sat on the table, gasping for air
Breaking bricks from off the wall
I’m losing track of listless days
Put the funeral flowers back in the vase
Talk me down from my ledge
So in love and so on edge
Would you miss me if I left this city?
Would you miss the way I care?
Kiss my stupid face before I go
Leave falling down the stairs
This isn’t how I thought things would go
But I’ll try my best
Do you want to come over tonight?
Try to get some rest
I’m losing track of listless days
Put the funeral flowers back in the vase
Talk me down from my ledge
So in love and so on edge
I’m losing track of listless days
Put the funeral flowers back in the vase
Talk me down from my ledge
So in love and so on edge

Driving down Bay Road
No service on my broken phone
Screaming at the radio
Feels like my throat could explode
Over the hill, the sunset fades
“Send me a picture, I miss your face”
Another town, another place
The exit is five hundred feet away
And I wanted to tell you
If you leave I’ll miss you
And when I drink I’m so afraid
That I’m a bad person with no moral compass
And can you remind me why you stayed?
When you have me over I go through your drawers
And I look for the things you try to hide
I swear that it’s normal but one of these days
I’ll uncover something that you didn’t want me to find
Flowers in the Christmas tree
Driving to Manchester-by-the-Sea
Beg to differ, disagree
Photos of us in the cemetery
“Helter Skelter” “Lover’s Spit”
Another top 40 pop radio hit
Can’t outgrow my nervous tics
All this fear just makes me sick
And I’m tired of playing
The music is boring
And some nights I think I’ve lost my mind
The plans are all cancelled
The dreams are all nightmares
And are you ever scared you’ll die?
And then I feel guilty cause I’ve got it easy
And I don’t know what it is you hide
I’m digging through cough drops and boxes of tissues
But old cigarettes are the only thing that I manage to find
When it was ending, I didn’t mind
Losing track of all our time
When it was ending, I didn’t mind
Losing track of all our time
Someday we’ll all be so much older
Getting smart and getting sober
