You are the sun
On the water side
The silver spoon
In the morning light

And I am carving my initials into trees
So you will remember me when I am gone

I know you have been lonely
But you are not alone

I, I want to be free
Ease my mind and let it shine
You draw the blinds, I’m planting seeds

And I know, I know you’re feeling it too
That steady flutter in your heart that
Tells you what to start to do

I know I might not be here for long
I got this feeling, I, I got this feeling that
I’m gonna get what I want
I’m gonna get it, I know I will get it yeah
And keep it easy when it’s said and done 

I turned up the heat but went down in flames
I struck out but came back swinging
No more seasons of playing games

And I, I want to be free
It’s a series of promises
Not a sentimental fantasy

I know I might not be here for long
I got this feeling, I, I got this feeling that
I’m gonna get what I want
I’m gonna get it, I know I will get it yeah
And keep it easy when it’s said and done 

I know I might not be here for long
I got this feeling, I, I got this feeling that
I’m gonna get what I want
I’m gonna get it, I know I will get it yeah
And keep it easy when it’s said and done 
Keep it easy, keep, keep it easy
I’ll keep it easy when it’s said and done

Last night, you were here
By dawn, you were gone
I was a fool reaching for you in the dark

Still I reached
Still half-asleep
Falling again into the sheets because

Your side of the bed is still warm
Your side of the bed is still warm

I saw you fly in a
2005 Prelude along I-35

And you wore that blue dress
Polka dots on your chest
I must have been lucid dreaming because

Your side of the bed is still warm
Your side of the bed is still warm

Midnight, almost one
Singing Elephant Gun
A sliver of moon outside your room

You asked me for more
And then I was sure
I wanted you forever
Forever
Forever

Your side of the bed is still warm
Your side of the bed is still warm
Your side of the bed is still warm
Your side of the bed is still warm

I’m not ready to leave
But I’ve got to go
If had a choice
I would take it so slow
Time always has to fly
When it is you and I 
I’m not ready to leave 
I can tell you know

I’m losing my head now
Halfway across the bridge
Stomach is feeling sick
I think I’m going to turn around
And miss my flight cause

You’re on my mind
Telling me day and night
I’m on your mind
I should stay and unwind
Every little word you say
Every little look my way
Every little step you take
Is running races all through my mind
Every day, every night 

Again I count the miles
Keeping me from you
Thirty thousand feet
Subtracted by your five foot two
I always have to fly
When things are going right
Again I count the miles
There’s nothing else to do

I’ve lost my head now
Ears are ringing like a bell
I feel the pressure start to swell
I should have quit my job
And stayed in bed cause

You’re on my mind
Telling me day and night
I’m on your mind
I should stay and unwind
Every little word you say
Every little look my way
Every little step you take
Is running races all through my mind
Every day, every night 
Every day, every night
Every day, every night
Every day, every night
Every day, every night
Every day, every night
Every day, every night
Every day, every night

A candle lights the hall
A blurry photo hangs up on the wall 
I take another look around your place

I try to say goodbye 
But I come back when you call me at night
I bend and break
It always ends the same anyways

I don’t care to say 
How I’m wearing thin today 
Take it off my hands
And I’m fine 
Leave it in the past
It was never made to last
I see the words on the wall
Don’t we all? 

You told me once 
You told me twice 
You told me who you were so many times 
In all the lies, I just denied the truth 

I tied myself up by the door and waited for you
Just to find that I was tied up on my own

Oh I don’t care to say 
How I’m wearing thin today 
Take it off my hands
And I’m fine 
Leave it in the past
It was never made to last 
I see the words on the wall
Don’t we all? 

You didn’t have to say it but you
Said it anyways while I was
Working out equations on the couch
I took it on the chin instead of wearing it
On my sleeve, I grinned and beared it 
Cause I believed that I could turn it all around

It was so draining
I was never quite invisible
Just something you ignored
Don’t blame me for wanting more

Now I take
Every inch that I am given til I break
I must be sick
Cause no matter how much I get of something
I can’t get enough of it
Still I try to
I used to think that I would never have to choose
Now I know to live is to lose

Showed up to the funeral
He had the nerve to speak to you
I hated him so much my body shook
It’s not like me to bite my tongue
Or make believe that I am done
Obsessing over everything he took

It was so unfair
Using cruelty to make himself feel tall
But standing there, he looked so small

Oh my love
I don’t think that we could ever be enough
It might be time
To cut and run and find a way to make do even though we’re not doing fine
I’ll try to
It’s just that it was something
I never thought I’d have to choose
Now I know to live is to lose

I cleaned my blood off of the floor
And reattached the shower door
You slept it off like any other night
Your chest was rising with your breath
Did I dream our happiness?
At four am I went to hit the light

It was so ugly to think I’d
Wasted my best years all along
But now I see how I was wrong

When we die
I hope they dig a hole and put us side by side
I hope they won’t cry
Cause I found that what I needed was reflected at me in your eyes

I’ll be true
Cause now I understand I’ll always have to choose
Now I know to live
To love, hate, and forgive
Now I know to live is to lose

Got this funny feeling in my head
Like I’m coming back from the dead
I can finally breathe again
Piece together all the things I said when we were
We were young and living
I was blind ambition
Now my eyes are clear 
Heart is full, can’t lose myself to indecision
Intuition’s never been my strong suite 
But this feels way too wrong to ignore
No can’t ignore

The world has a way
Of making you feel smaller by the day
The world has a way
Of making you feel smaller by the day
If you let it, I won’t let it
If you let it, I won’t let it

Had to change it up 
Switch the record cause the music sucked
Step back from the ledge, get tough and
Trust it would be enough to be enough 
In my own skin, on my own time, in my own way,
Hey, I know I kept you waiting but I hope that you won’t rue the day 
That I say I have been here all along
Ducking in and out of shadows at dawn cause

The world has a way
Of making you feel smaller by the day
The world has a way
Of making you feel smaller by the day
If you let it, I won’t let it
If you let it, I won’t let it
If you let it, I won’t let it
If you let it, I won’t let it

We are easy to break
But holding together
We give and we take
And weather the weather

I am a mirror
Love what you see
Living in fear is conformity

I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
