lyrics

I lost my train of thought again
It’s hard to find under all this dirty laundry
Put it back inside my head
Next to the dust and all the things I dread

Do you remember when we met
I was a ghost with a sheet over my head
You walked me back to my place
That night was dark like we were out in outer space

I’ve been swinging and missing
Endlessly listening
To songs that you’d hate
Picking fights with my best friends
Chewing on split ends
I feel so ashamed

Something has to change

I saw you in my dreams again
We were riding the blue line to Smithsonian
We got off and we went to see
The cherry blossoms as they fell off of the trees

You used to listen to me think
When snow was sticking to the roof of my apartment
Sit in my beat up Grand Marquis
Talk life and death and other things that scared me

Am I being dramatic
Erratic, sporadic
Rolling my eyes
Crying just makes my head hurt
Cut up my t-shirt
I’m always so drained

Something has to change

I want to fall in love again
But I can’t shake the sand out of this shoebox
It would be nice if this worked out
Too bad I live in a state of constant doubt

Do you still think about me
Out in Sun Valley
Struggling to breathe
I want you to remember
Those nights in December
With your cowboy bedsheets

You’ll lose those memories
