(no subject)
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
The ribbon on my wrist says:
"Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good so you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
so where me like a locket
around your throat
I'll weigh you down
I'll watch you choke
nothing comes as easy as you
can I lay in youe bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake
Please put the doctor on the phone because I'm not making and sense
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
now I only waste my time dreaming of you
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
All of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
You are a getaway car- a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror- you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right
I know this hurts, it was meant to
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over (you don't) matter
I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
“To I swear, I say”
To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes”
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
“What did it ever do for me” I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose awe or sympathy
But never both
Last time “I hoped you choked
And crashed your car”
Hey “tear catcher”, that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say
To the “love” I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "just friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
Who never had it at all
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
The ribbon on my wrist says:
