Talking circles with you again You're half asleep and I don't understand how you work it's like I'm trying to hurt myself again Sit in silence and work this out we both should probably be sleeping by now Say that we have missed the moon but by tomorrow it'll be something completely different Say we're going to travel the world I'm scared of your lips more than anything I can't just be another something that you'd regret I need time to decide what I want I need time to think straight You say you love me but you're just a business You say you love me but that's not my business

Red Lipstick 02:34
Red Lipstick standing in the crowd Are you staring from the back row From the way I looked at you you'd think that I want you From the way you looked at me I'd think that you want me too But I can't assume Red Lipstick tailor-made for you are you asking your friends why I'm wearing your favorite color?

You're just a train track and I'm just trying to get back home Been lost on this road so long I can't remember where I'm going it's fine, I don't need home anymore I just need something that I can hold onto forever I'm trying Don't kill me All my friends know better than me I'm losing Don't kill me You're acting like it's some kind of catastrophe But I'm not Trying to get worse I just can't focus on what's killing me I'll die but then I'll grow back stronger I'm just like scarred skin just need to let me breathe

What's Next? 03:36
This wasn't the way that this was supposed to end my thoughts turned into to skeletons Why can't you show me how to be like you? View all my thoughts as perfections I like me better when my face is not bleeding I like you best when my face is not wet Caught in an endless state of waiting forever asking: "What's Next?" Sometimes it's hard to believe that something big is coming for me

I'll help you love the winter I'll help you love the cold cuz you'll know, I'll always be there to keep you warm And when my legs get tired will you lay down with me? When we're both tired and there's nothing left to be Crash your family party We'll still dance like no one's watching with two left feet Sing the same songs forever they'll still mean the same to me So kiss me again in front of all my old friends Everything will be alright in the end Crash your family party we'll still dance like no one's watching with two left feet

"Please I can be your home I promise" She says "Please come home" But home is a thousand miles from where I left it "I wish you'd wake me up when you got here" You beg me to slip under the covers like a living specter and you'd tell me everything until we're talking in circles You spent February through May in a moonless city constantly spending your time looking for the moon and every night you'd write love poems to it Hoping that it'll get them and pass the on to me But how can the moon give what it doesn't receive? So I'll haunt the streets like a specter in a moonless city and everything I'll see will be so dangerous to me But the moon is so important and we're so important The moon is so important and you're so important to me So I'll haunt the street like a specter in a moonless city and everything I see will be so dangerous to me
