I want you too
break the strings
attached to just about everything and
wrap them up
in tiny cities that glow in the dark
use their light
to find your way
from your house to mine
you could cross a thousand miles in no time
and you know that
it's confusing
and I can't put this into words
all I know is that it hurts
I'm tryin' to let you know that
you can never get close to me
I'll be dyin' in the city
while you're living by the sea
I want you to
burn the things
I got for your birthday
burn them all
burn away
it's just too easy
and I'll be sitting here
with the silence that you gave to me
never knew things got this lonely
and you know that
it's alarming
and there's something in the air
glad to know that you cared
I'm tryin
to let you know that
you can never get close to me
I'll be dyin' in the city
while you're livin' by the sea
I am the loser
I'm the guy
in the street
in the middle of the night
who plays guitar
and sings out loud
while tryin' not to weep
I know that's pretty weak
take all that you can keep
and hold onto it for me.
seems to me
that I will be
just another memory
and you will see
that you are just
a separate melody
