All I know is that you’re so nice
You’re the nicest thing I’ve seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I was your favorite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favorite kind of style
I wish you couldn’t figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you’d hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you’d never forget
The look on my face when we first met
I wish you had a favorite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three
I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you’d be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn’t eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
Look, all I know is that you’re the nicest thing I’ve ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something

Every morning when I wake
I can feel the weight of my own insignificance.
I look in the mirror at the ghost in front of me
and I don’t have to wonder why nobody sees me.
I don’t have to guess what I am to you
because I am nothing.
I am nothing but a cold breeze against your skin
on one of those lonely nights
where I could have been sitting beside you
if only you’d have asked me.
Nights like these,
I really want to end this story.
I really want to sweep away and blow into some other town.
Where I will never leave a memory.
Where I will never leave you,
my hope,
my joy,
my laughter.
Send me to bed
My head’s drowning out
The thick and blurry sounds
Of horses on the highway
The days are running down
And I’m drowning out
This overwhelming sad
Send me to bed
And tamp out the lamp
In the dark the colors fade
To shades of grey and black
But the city’s fireflies
Wash the bedroom with light
Like an overwhelming sad
I must be drowning out
The roar of the engines
As they escape into night
The stillness unravels
The long lost strands of our lives
They drift out the window
They drift out to sea; and I fall asleep
To an overwhelming sad
Sometimes it seems that i don’t have the skills to recollect
The twists and turns of plots that turned us from lovers to friends
I’m thinking i should take that volume back up off the shelf
And crack it’s weary spine and read to help remind myself
But if i move my place in line i’ll lose.
And I have waited, the anticipation’s got me glued.
I am waiting for something to go wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And i am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.
And it’s strange
They are basically the same
So i don’t ask names anymore.
Sometimes i think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
And it seems by the time that i have figured what it’s worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
We started off across a room
locking eyes and subtle clues
Connection then devotion grew
closer than our mothers knew.
It’s hard to fill the middle in
What triggered Cause to the Effect
Suddenly you exited
With a subtle look we would communicate
Now all the words we saved return to curse your name
With a subtle look
I’m jumping off this moving ground
needing just to levitate
I’m landing now, forgetting how
Your gravity ruins everything
You fill my head and weigh it down
My clouded heavy vision sees
your arms, once mine, now wrapped around
a different boy who looks like me
With a subtle look we would communicate.
Now all the words we saved return to curse your name
let’s say that we did
try again to exist
but we never did
and we never will again
we don’t know how
and it doesn’t matter now
if we make it by
‘cause it’s too hard to try
if you make it here
or if it’s too far for you to drive
that’s fine
i don’t really care if you’re mine
i used to think you were everything
that lived in me
but now it’s easy to see
that despite my love for you
it’s not enough
for your words to be true
and i didn’t know what to do
i thought i’d die
but i don’t really care if you’re mine
i’ll be fine.
that’s a lie.
that’s a lie.
