Summer 2010

You say that we're cycling pieces of film
Well we're not
You say that we have never loved
Well I guess we've been caught
You said:

Heaven never was on earth
It was all a myth that we rehearsed

I should've known then

When we die we fly up high
Back into the world give it another try

An ocean of paper
I should've swam with her
On that night
But I was too chicken
For me to even
Say goodnight

We lay on our backs stare at the sky upside down
Sip on champagne
You sip on the future I drift from earth
And into my brain
You said:

Movies never make me cry
Even when somebody dies

I should've known back then

You were the boy who never tried
To speak the truth inside his mind

I took it in context
I took it in protest
I took it back
But I'll never take you
Kiss you or hold you
Behind her back

And all your words turn until my head spins off
I'm naked and sweating and screaming and crying and hopeless and soft

Let's take our hearts
Shove them back into our chests
Let's hold hands so we can kiss
Let's write all the songs
All over again
Let's forget the people that we miss
