if i lied to you would you like me more
at the bookstore we're sitting on the floor
i wanna seem so cool for you
even though you tell me that i don't have to
on the car ride upstate you forget my middle name
it starts E and ends with an S
you tell me it's cute i don't believe you
you tell me i'm cute i don't believe you
when we first met you thought that i was straight
now six months in my mom thinks you made me gay
the street lights light us up when we walk
across the bridge and into the dark
i loved you more than the world can know
i hate to see you come and go

peeling back the bandaids on ur knees
and out come the secrets u can’t keep
if the clouds knew ur name they'd pull some strings
everything would fall into place
we can share headphones on the bus ride home
show me the songs u wrote that u think are dumb
i like the way you take up space
inside of my brain
and if ur feeling down
i’ll pick up ur pieces
and glue them back
and i keep on trying
to make sure ur not dying
are u alive???? are u alive???????
you've got the time to figure it out
walk down your block and into your house
think about the people that love you most
when you're feeling alone
you know you've got the world inside of ur hands
but you still wait around for a second chance
everyone is trying to be someone else
but ur a different kind

love letters

writing love letters
on your bedroom
and listening to our hearts
on a broken record
on a saturday afternoon
the light was in your room
untangling
subway lines
on my way to your house
listening to frankie
when you pick me up
at your train station stop
i love you like no other

i feel more myself
sitting on your shelf
in the dark
you can make a mess of me
cut me up and watch me bleed
in the kitchen sink
spit me out or swallow me whole
choking up, i'm stuck in your throat
you never did like the taste
whenever you said my name
on your bed we lie
you close the shades so i can't see
the light
no one knows that we exist
separate bodies, glued together
something makeshift
tear the pages out from the notebook
you wrote down every single thing that you felt
i'll find the guts to go home
you never were the type to kiss and tell

somebody else

i'm afraid to hold your hand
i don't know why i'll never understand
stars in your eyes and in your hands
through the street we run as fast as we can
and it goes and it goes
you're not like anyone i've met
there's no way that i can pretend
when i see you i fall into this trance
look into my eyes and count from ten
i can't seem to find
what i used to hide
i lost it in myself
when i'm with you i feel like somebody else
