The night before I said lately I’ve been blooming
The Window Was Open, The Smoke Wasn't Moving
DIY, pink on black
Right there at the top of the CD stack
Already told you I'm lying and stealing
A notebook to shape my memory
Need someone bright to to the math for my self-referential polygraph
How do you shake that restless feeling when you're 23?
I close my eyes, I'm quickly resealing
You say love is carefree
I don't know if you mean it
So tonight, we're figuratively naked
You said: "I'm like you, just without the pretension"
You could call it an understatement of the year,
but that would be faking it
And now you stand here in the darkened room
Full of expectations
The curtains waving
I don't know if I told you, I'll be out of here soon
Cause how do you shake that restless feeling?
When you're 24
You meet my eyes, I stare at the ceiling
Say love is war
I don't know if I mean it
Mean it
This minute
Mean it
This minute
I don't know if I mean it
Mean it
Mean it
This minute
Mean it
I don't know if I mean it
Mean it!
Mean it!
Mean it!
Mean it!
Mean it!

In need of sustenance, jaded and bored
Behind the counter of a chain record store
Wanting to go out
Made it clear
Might need your oversight and time
So I can disappear underneath your eyelids
A speck of dust in an ocean of nihilists
He's elegant and understated,
while you shrug your shoulders and blink until you cry
Someone's imposing on the perfect view
The buildings and the trees that we once knew
Too fucked to drink tonight, that's how I feel
But then, you're spinning on your heels
Right there when he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in alcohol
to make music to get drunk to"
I rolled my eyes, and blinked until I cried

Togetherness

Disappointments spawn togetherness
Underneath what's covering your chest
The plain gray fabric of your dress
in the space between my thumb and my index
And then I hesitate, but you're wide awake
You've been cuing in this mistake
While as of late I've been busy waiting for the end of days
I've been busy waiting
And then you stand there
Of course you hesitate, but I'm wide awake here
And as of late you´ve been busy waiting
You've been busy waiting

If I accepted this slow-mo apocalypse,
is this how you wanted it?
Statements around your wrists
Reasons to coexist
I've made extensive lists
How I took another sip from the paper cup
Tasted your lips
The slow continental drift
Your knuckles brushing against my hip
An outline, a synopsis
Backwater road trips
Sweethearted communists
Strange how the air was crisp,
but the fog still refused to lift
I wonder what we missed
Window panes thick with mist
I think we finally kissed, but I can't quite remember it
How do you catch it?
Strengthen all the certain colors on the wall
And I am white patches, strength and all
How do you catch it?
If you know what I mean
I wonder what we missed?
Sweeping tectonic shifts
I used to know how a memory slips
Now I just can't remember it
