badges

[givingoutroses]

i saw you waving your arms around
while you were in back on the phone
off you went saying you needed ciggerttes
but you pack was still full i knew

and sometimes i cant be sure
if i'm writing my life or living a story
but you're apart of it now
no matter how many blurs it takes

give me a reason
give me a reason
to stay
something better 
something better
than today

and out on the street
looking in both directions trying to see
i can't find your red car
and there are people
selling trinkets and loud 
far off weather alarms

give me a reason
give me a reason
to stay
something better 
something better
than today

and someday i will tell you that your badges dont mean a thing
what youve been through is all just a story to me
