I didn't mean for it to sound as sad as it does, It's just sad how much happier we are.

Aren't we always sadder in the sun, Or lacking great composure in the bars? I'm never satisfied 'til it's acceptable, To dance and drink your potions with the stars. Hold me closer if you want to leave, I'll let you take me if you want to thieve. I'm an animal for finer things, Fandango nights are all I know, I'll tell you when I've had enough, Of screaming lights and social glow, Hold you closer if I want to leave, I'll let you take me if you want to thieve. I have never played your game before, I'm not sure which cards will make you roar, I just pray you never take me for, What I seem, or like I seem on the outside, And if it ends in love I hope you'll understand, All of me is always aptly planned, Soulfully robbing your dreamland, It's how I seem on the inside. Hold your woes, You don't know every contact in your phone, I'll take your love knowing I'll be a past, Power comes from being oversold, Confident I won't be your last But you hold me close, I never want to leave, I'll become what I can never be. I have never played your game before, I'm not sure which cards will make you roar, I just pray you never take me for, What I seem, or like I seem on the outside, And if it ends in love I hope you'll understand, All of me is always aptly planned, Soulfully robbing your dreamland, It's how I seem on the inside. Transient cold spell, I'm underdressed, You make me withhold my manifest. Hold me closer if you want to leave, I'll let you take me if you want to thieve.

Best For You 04:03
Take another picture, I don't want to forget her. It should be obvious that I, Was notoriously blind. My thoughts were If I wait and prayed, you'd drag me into place, And hold me differently, Or at least keep me company. But they since moved the sculpture, from the place where we first kissed. I can't retrace the colour and structure, Like they were your lips. If I can't call you up at 3 am, I'll be wondering where my guidance is hiding, Maybe I just relied too much on your skin, Now I'm leaning in my sinking foundation, I know this is all best for you, I couldn't be best for you. I know this is all best for you, Best for you. Enchant me sweet victories, Maybe I just forget all the bad times. I'm just worried for the bit parts of me, That black out all my crimes. I've misplaced the smile lines, and bright eyes through a summertime, That ran 16 seasons wide. If I can't call you up at 3 am, I'll be wondering where my guidance is hiding, Maybe I just relied too much on your skin, Now I'm leaning in my sinking foundation, You know this is best for me, I couldn't be best for you. You know this is best for me. Best for you. (That's like, literally, my highest note. Don't ask for anything more from me. Thnx. xoxo)

Nervous 04:13
Find a bitter place, Sip my wine with grace, You won't know where to find me. I'm all about space, Just a boy, a swell face, I don't know how to make you see, Blush, a bittersweet reminder, You're falling much faster, I can't keep up. Flushed, beautiful pathfinder, Drag me down with kinder, Eyes you keep covering up. It's just so sweet, it hurt's a bit part. Need that bitterness to save my poor heart. 'Cause when I join in, I go all in and I find love, And it always hurts me the same. 'Cause when I join the world, I find love, I forget about what I'm revealing. I love wild feelings deep in my gut, I love shaky hands and nervous feelings I forget about the dying days. I lose a piece of my ways, Trust me, I've got ways. Maybe I just love stranger kindness. I know I just miss human contact. I know I can be struck with so much blindness. But I know It keeps me on track. Maybe my sorry ass heart is to blame But love always seems to hurt me this way.

I'll find your centre, I'll need your warmth too, I need to remember, What it's like to be with someone new. Somewhere out there a twirling planet, Small and out of reach, Mars she made a great place to sleep, But a sad place to stay. I'll come for the water, Then be on my way. Destination: plenty, So many stars in the ocean, I've dreamed of planets for century's, They're swirling emotions, But I think of my twirling planet, Small and out of reach. Jupiter boasts her great size, And jealousy burns her insides for days. I'll stay for the warmth, Then be on my way. I'll stop for a moment, A breather, refresher. My destination's distant But home seems farther. So here I am, Saturn dances rings around my head, He spins me round but my movements don't convey. I'll stay for the dances, Then be on my way. Neptune pulls me in with his love, And holds me tighter than any thing, But he crushes my spirit, I'll stay for the colour, Then be on my way. I couldn't more lost in space. So close to something so far away, I dream of a passion, a little blue spell, A twirling planet, distant and well. I never tried Mercury in my veins, I never saw Venus for all he was, But I know deep down, pluto remains, And shes all I want.
