Lilac

It’s like 5:30 or something
I’ve got Lilac and Jeff
You’ve been promising that I’ll make it
I’ve been trying and I’m naked
But if I make it…

I’ll be trying all the time, but I won’t come home
(You’ll be crying every night through the hotel phone)
Baby, I don’t really want this
All these shitty songs just leave me more alone
It’s killing me, you know
It’s killing me, killing me
I don’t know

Scrape me off the ground after you walk over me
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Lead me through the crowd, bring me to safety
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
All I ever wanted was everything

It’s like 9:30, we’re stumbling down Chapel from ‘Revs’
I’ve been promising that I’ll stay here
You’ve been vomiting and I’m faded
But if I stay here

You’ll be crying all the time all alone in bed
I’ll be screaming at a page through a broken pen singing
“I don’t really want this life, this shitty song’s not right
You’re moving on and I’m still here.”

Scrape me off the ground after you walk over me
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Lead me through the crowd, bring me to safety
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)

Fading softly out, need you to remember me
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Leave me to the sound, no, you’ll never save me
All I ever wanted was the world at my feet
All I ever wanted was everything

Oh...
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Oh...
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Scrape me off the ground
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
Lead me through the crowd
(All I ever wanted was the world at my feet)
All I ever wanted was everything
