did you know that you hum while you sleep
like a song straight out of a dream
did you know that the snow could've been any color
but it chose to reflect them all
i feel nostalgic for times i can't remember
just the cold through my nose in the middle of december

i take hints that aren't there
completely unaware
convinced you don't care
i steal pop from restaurants
i wanna be an astronaut
but i can't cuz i got caught
smoking pot
i don't like the government
dear mr president
i feel fat when i sit
loneliness isn't bad
i think i like to be sad
is that so bad
the breeze through the trees
sounds just like the sea
i want to die in beauty
so fuck this world and all it's got
because i'm not an astronaut
we're all just little dots
but that's a lot

every first line starts with i
i guess i've got a lot of problems to get off my mind
i'm so goddamn sick of avoiding them
i feel so pressured to be okay
no one wants to deal with someone else's bad day
so we bottle them up to save face
we've got the sun but we've also got storms
some people are open books and some are earth worms
who drown making room for flowers to grow
when it rains it pours when it pours it storms
as for me i feel like a little earthworm
trying to surface to get out
my head's a battle field and the odds don't look good
when i think about it i never thought would
but i want to change to feel okay
i will break my wrists getting myself out of bed
i will kiss your nose with my lips stained red
i will try if it kills me
i will try if it kills me

what happened to you my dear?
you were once so young and full of fear
about the dark and shadows and dying
now you chase after them all
and why did we let go of playing outside
when our blood was fueled by sugar instead of caffeine
have you been to church lately?
father d died from smoking too much nicotine
coughed up holy water on his deathbed
said let those sinners wander
let those sinners wander
and oh i think we did
just a little too far or not enough
or maybe we still are
we wander so far

i get so tired
but i can't sleep
i just lay around
floating on misery
it's like a tidal wave
falling on the sea
it's like a tidal wave
falling on me
i don't know what's wrong
but instead of sitting down
and figuring myself out
i write shitty songs about
how something is wrong

i went to the state fair
remembered you wouldn't be there
rode to the top of the ferris wheel
clinging tightly to the steel
whispered your name into the air
hoping that you would hear
how i wished i died
on that ride
jumped from the top
without a care
become one with the air

march comes in like a lion and out like a lamb
but i spent it all wanting to lay in bed
quit my job because i didn't want to work anymore
$7.25 will get me some cigarettes
but take a chunk of that and give it to the government
i don't think that i'll make it to retirement
yeah it feels good to work
feels better to get paid
but so much better to make music and get laid
i don't need the money
but i need my sanity and more time
spend it with you spend it with my bed
spend it with these strings and with my friends
spending it laughing til i cry spend it drinking til i'm dead
spend it reading books, putting good thoughts in my head
spend it not on money, but time instead
it's important to concentrate on what makes you happy
cuz you could die tomorrow and that would be crappy
to have lived your life only
based on money
march came in like a lion and that was fun
but i feel like of sad now that it's done
when things are constantly happening
you feel a good kind of numb
when march goes out like a lamb i'll hold out my hand
not for money this time but for hourglass sand
try to value my time more if i can

gravity
pulls you and me
like a yo-yo string
i'm imagining
new years eve
cheers and screams
dance and sing
just you and me
make believe
we'll wake from this dream
find reality
to be so boring
walls are peeling
stars fall from ceilings
i've got a good feeling
i've got a good feeling
about you

when i'm all by myself here, which doesn't really happen all that often, i'll be laying in bed at night, it's dark and i start to see shadows or hear noises. i don't think it's anything super natural or whatever, but like it's all in my head. which is a lot scarier to admit. and so i picture that you're here with me, and i'm not alone. i don't feel alone. it's like i need no one else at all
sometimes i wonder if that's a good thing. but, it feels right. someone once told me that they lost their concept of home. like, they didn't know where it was anymore. there isn't one place where they feel okay. i guess i agree.
home doesn't exist so i'm holding on to you instead.
i just want to be alone.
i just want to be alone with you.
