Set Fire 02:23
Set fire to your heart It’s just now that I can’t stop feeling, that you leave
2.
The folds in my sheets in the place where I sleep And it was probably a mistake to have you so close To my bed, because I heard what you said And I hardly could care now It would not be a problem, and I’d probably still have gone It’s just when I think that I worry We hurried quite quickly, put pressure directly On a scrape open air could have healed much more gently Who did you think I could be? Who were you wanting from me? I might be falling for you I think that I might be falling for you I might be falling for you So scared that I might be falling for you Turn all the lights on right after your gone Because I’ve got to fill the room with something But tomorrow I’ll call to make sure that it all Doesn’t fuck with your head It would not be a problem, and I’d probably still have gone It’s just when I think that I worry We hurried quite quickly, put pressure directly On a scrape open air could have healed much more gently Who did you think I could be? Who were you wanting from me? I might be falling for you I think that I might be falling for you I might be falling for you So scared that I might be falling for you

Fleeting 02:59
Before I leave, I grasp your hand And with it I feel safe, relieved Now I drive, and oh I have No worries I will fall asleep Your graceful face is all but keeping me from flying I want you to know what you could mean I am patient, I’m not fleeting You check my heart, it’s wildly beating I cannot speak, so I’ll sing this song My voice will shake, I will get lost I’m nervous as Hell I’ll forget the words But I hope to God I get my point across At some point, I’ll have to be OK with what you’re losing And I will hope your gains are worth my independence I will pray for you, fingers crossed behind my back for me I hear but you listen Please share my opinion Oh dear, I’m falling behind I am still waiting I’m bending, I’m breaking Oh love, I’m falling behind Your graceful face is all but keeping me from flying I want you to know what you could mean I am patient, I’m not fleeting You check my heart, it’s wildly beating

He was the one, who in the corner of his eye He kept her safely moving, while quietly trying To show her it was always him she was always needing But he wouldn’t complain about bleeding again No, he wouldn’t complain about bleeding again There was too much advice from too many friends With all the attention from everyone else but her Prideful anger, how could you not miss losing my imperfection? My heart of degenerate bliss (and slow breathing) Nothing is leaving, I’m full of monotonous air Dying trust in your filth, breathe me ill and I will faint (complications from living) All you are giving are headaches And this is how my chest breaks, broken (still beating) My heart is a stage, and it’s open (still bleeding) Wage your war dear, but please be pleading For your heart to match my tempo For your pulse to match my beat Throwing caution to your wind I’m seeing the ease of crashing and burning Throwing caution to your wind And you blow me down And you blow me down Yeah you blow me down So it ends with him breathing too quickly And briefly deciding he’s done, he won’t wait anymore But he does, and for once he’d prefer that his fronts could break way By way of some apathy, instead in his head As he jumps for the bed with the caring, and the feeling Too much in the beating place that is Overdressed in his chest, with the sarcastic wit and a grin made of plastic Now I’m talking to you, do you think that your pulse Could it match my... Could your pulse ever match my beat? Throwing caution to your wind I’m seeing the ease of crashing and burning Throwing caution to your wind And you blow me down And you blow me down Yeah you blow me down He was the one, who in the corner of his eye He kept her safely moving, while quietly trying To show her it was always him she was always needing But he wouldn’t complain about bleeding again

Might Love 03:58
The girl with the brown eyes and perfect face that Burns when she smiles, she’ll stay for a while But she might not know it She might not realize that this childlike nervousness Oh it runs deeper than I’d like to admit, but that’s it, I won’t worry Since we actually met We left nothing to creeping But we crept along, crept along quickly at best Since we actually leapt We left nothing to creeping So let’s move along, move along I think quickly is best I might love if you stay I might love if you stay I might love if you never move Heels over my head, and I’ve hardly just seen her I’m hours away, but I hope in a day she’d monopolize my time And I’m falling too fast, I think that I’m asking For a kick to the face, but there’s no time to waste, and I hardly could care now Since we actually met We left nothing to creeping But we crept along, crept along quickly at best Since we actually leapt We left nothing to creeping So let’s move along, move along I think quickly is best I might love if you stay I might love if you stay I might love if you never move Since we actually leapt, we left nothing to creeping We left nothing to chance And since we actually met, we've done a lot less sleeping But that's alright by me I might love if you stay I might love if you stay I might love if you never move

Today I found a note in my car It said “I Love You” I cried the whole way home Love, I wish I knew when I should stop I wish you were the one, but you’re not Maybe I should wait I could come back around I want to still love you I’m not sure I know how Love, I wish I knew when I could stop I wish you were the one, but you’re not I wish you were the one, but you’re not

20's 05:20
We’ve been clinging to the phone for 10 months now But tonight when I climb into bed, I know I’m alone I guess I decided my 20's are for being alone But I still wish you’d fight it Because I’d hate to see me have to see you go Love, we’re now alone We've been sinking like a stone I think you followed me down But tonight as I fight every word I'm letting you know I guess I decided my 20's are for being alone But I still wish you’d fight it Because I’d hate to see me have to see you go Set fire to your heart I guess I decided my 20's are for being alone But I still wish you’d fight it Because I’d hate to see me have to see you go

More of You 07:02
So it’s set then, you’ll jet set then A week from the day that we met But before then, you’ll restore some Of the brighter thoughts in my head Could I see you tomorrow? We’ve got to hurry if we’re gonna borrow The lines and the plots where somebody leaves in the end You creep into my bed Then you crawl into my head I got to get through to you You know I can’t waste a day I’ve got to have more of you Baby why can’t you stay? So it's best then, we'll repress then Every hope, every word 'til you've left But before then, you'll restore some of the brighter thoughts in my head I won't see you tomorrow So we've got to hurry if we're going to follow The thin lines in your veins With the heat that we'll need to pretend You creep into my head Then you crawl into my bed I said you crawl on into my bed I got to get through to you You know I can’t waste a day I’ve got to have more of you Baby why can’t you stay?

I'm glad you're still here And I can still see I set fire to your heart And I watched you bleed I'm glad you're still here She probably won't leave Leave him for me So you're safe for a while Or as close as you'll be There's still a lot of guilt in my dreams for you For you, love it's for you There's still a lot of guilt in my dreams for you For you, love it's for you I'm glad you're still here But your body it still reads Of the fire that caught hard But never caught up with me I'm glad you're still here We both know I'll leave, eventually But you're safe for a while With your hopes on my sleeve There's still a lot of guilt in my dreams for you For you, love it's for you There's still a lot of guilt in my dreams for you For you, love it's for you I'm glad you're still here I'm glad you're still here, and I watched you bleed I'm so glad you're still here If it had to be here, then I'm glad you're with me But I'm feeling the pull with no fight left to speak It had to be here with your hopes on my sleeve There's still a lot of guilt in my dreams
11.
There’s still a lot of your things living in my place Too many instances of your face framed nicely for me to see Pretty pictures, but too many outbreaks Of remembering you and me I’m not fine, but I’ll be alright If you leave my head and heart tonight You know I wish that things could stay But everything will change
