Thought you were cannonballin after me
I let your actions speak for themselves
And wished you well
But you're a mirror I cannot void
Strung out and jittery and paranoid
A leaky battery that can't keep charged
Get in the car and say what you mean
Explain yourself to me and I'll try not to judge you more than you would
Let me help, I promise not to tell
Like anyone's asking or anyone should
First time I met you I was full of fear
Knew that eventually you'd disappear
Just when I needed you you'd burned to smoke
And off you'd go
Just come back and peel away the mess
Lay here beside me and open your eyes
Take it back your dignity intact
Turn back to the person you tried to let die
I caught you nesting with your analog
Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs
Becoming infinite against his couch
Open your mouth and say the words
You used to wish you heard
Back when you focused enough to be good
And if you're gone
An endless false alarm
Just remember I loved you
As long as I could
I caught you catterwaulin' 'n giving grief Thought you were cannonballin after me I let your actions speak for themselves And wished you well But you're a mirror I cannot void Strung out and jittery and paranoid A leaky battery that can't keep charged Get in the car and say what you mean Explain yourself to me and I'll try not to judge you more than you would Let me help, I promise not to tell Like anyone's asking or anyone should First time I met you I was full of fear Knew that eventually you'd disappear Just when I needed you you'd burned to smoke And off you'd go Just come back and peel away the mess Lay here beside me and open your eyes Take it back your dignity intact Turn back to the person you tried to let die I caught you nesting with your analog Glassy eyes from kissing poison frogs Becoming infinite against his couch Open your mouth and say the words You used to wish you heard Back when you focused enough to be good And if you're gone An endless false alarm Just remember I loved you As long as I could Explain Request ×
