walkin down the road
like im wishin for rocks thrown 'gainst windows
will I ever know
how to keep your love
hold it close
oh no,
same old sinkin boat
no more strength to row
gotta stay afloat
or learn how to swimm
walkin down the line
like I'm tightrope walkin on a lie
will I ever find
if it's me or the medicine that's makin me cry?
oh no,
you are not alone
make yourself at home,
hollow out your bones,
you'll fit right in

here we go again
packin up the boxes
another sorry summer stay
you can fold me up,
bury me in cardboard,
label me as fragile,
leave holes to breathe
you should know
im not lookin for another person to call home
is it possible
to find everything you've ever wanted
under one roof?
ooo
and when you go downtown
i won't follow, won't hang around
i think we both need a little space
a change of pace
so i won't ask whose lips you've been kissin
i won't ask you this much

find a penny, pick it up
im so lucky to have loved the ones i loved
but if you must go, still i'll always keep you close
find a penny, let me down
leave me weepin on the ground
if you, too, must leave, still the memories stay with me
and im thankful for each second you gave
im so grateful for the love that we made
and when i hear the sound of your name,
i dont count my losses,
i just count my change

take the posters off the wall
dont let me down
for a while i broke your fall,
now youre goin down
another day, another shame
why should i wait
youll just lie until i set the story straight
and will you ever own up, grow up, pay
for all ur fucking petty power plays?
i dont owe you nothin, aint no way
my daddy taught me how to catch a snake
here's to all the time i wasted thinkin you'd come around

winter why, it's been weeks since i washed my clothes
losing time like i lose my temper in the cold
winter sigh, the sun's settin by 5 PM
how much longer can i take this town im in?
two more weeks crossin my fingers all the way
hopin im somewhere far from here on new year's day
spoonfed lies just to get me out of my bed
"take a walk, it'll help you get out of your head"
who will save me from daylight savings?

mardi, i saw
crescent city blocks in the bottom of your shoes
follow the song of a moon-faced boy down bartholomew
wednesday, come home
maybe i will get a new tattoo
don't trust myself to know what i'll be when the week is through
i am not beautiful
i am not sure at all
i am a potted plant
with no room left for roots to grow
the peach pit in my stomach asks, "is it okay to not know?"
i am not beautiful
i am not sure at all
i thought i saw our ghost
