Step out the front door
Like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast
Of white on white.
In between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference
Between wrong and right.
I walk in the air, between the rain
Through myself and back again.
Where? I don't know.
Maria says she's dying.
Through the door I hear her crying.
Why? I don't know.
Around here, we always stand up straight.
Around here, something radiates.
Maria came from Nashville
With a suitcase in her hand.
She said she'd like to meet a boy
Who looks like Elvis.
And she walks along the edge
Of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire
Above the circus.
She parks her car outside my house
And takes her clothes off.
She says she's close to
Understanding Jesus.
She's more than just a little
Misunderstood.
She has trouble acting normal
When she's nervous.
Around here, we're carving out our names.
Arond here, we all look the same.
Around here, we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs.
Around here. She's slipping through my hands.
..She says it's only in my head.
She says, shh, I know it's only in my head.
But the girl in the car in the parking lot
Says "man you should try and take a shot."
Can't you see my walls are crumbling??
And she looks up at the building.
Says she's thinking of jumping.
Says she's tired of life.
She must be tired of something.
Around here, she's always on my mind
Around here, hey man, we got lots of time..
Around here, we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait.
Around here, we stay up
Very, very, very, very late.
I can't see nothing, nothing, around here.
Catch me if I'm falling.
Catch me if I'm falling.
Catch me cause I'm falling down on you.....
I have great friends, and a great boyfriend. And right now, I think I can figure so much stuff out. Thanks to all the people that have been helpful to me. Everyone else, sorry to sound like a bitch but it needs to be said. You're not important... I'm better than you, so yeah I said it. Get over it. :)
So yeah, things are getting better. I'm making them better because with the help of some great advice I realized that I control my destiny. So true <33
