Me + you
Two moons
At least that’s what our skin assumes
Me + you
In Halloween costumes
Midnight, mid-June in your mother’s bedroom
We will only let you down
In apprehension
Keep on waiting for the right time
But it’s a matter of opinion
(And that’s just mine)
Baby, I’m on your bad side
Keep me guessing
In between days
How I’m feeling lately
The seconds before I slipped away
Pressed between abandoned X-ray machines
Breathing quietly
Don’t believe a thing
We will only let you down
In apprehension
Keep on waiting for the right time
But it’s a matter of opinion
(And that’s just mine)
Baby, I’m on your bad side
Keep me guessing

You said something embarrassing about the next few years
I cringed in secret so that you wouldn’t hear
I’ve found myself with a new habit lately
Walking down to your house and just waiting
I want to brave the stones and stand at the door but you don’t even live there anymore
I’ve got your old belongings piled in my wardrobe
Stacks of bags, bedding, records, books, and clothes
I could really do without it but tell me so
If you loved me why did you let me go
The lights are on inside, silhouettes in the window
It’s New Years Eve and there’s 15 minutes to go
I’m under the street lights and my body aches
I didn’t think that all I offered you’d actually take
I’ll leave the city soon and probably go home
Take some time to recover, forgot you, learn to be alone
Accept my regrets and make peace with my past
Grasp the fact that nothing lasts
I’ve got your old belongings piled in my wardrobe
Stacks of bags, bedding, records, books, and clothes
I could really do without it but tell me so
If you loved me why did you let me go
So what am I doing here
I just want to feel something familiar

Hair Pins

We drove down to the coast
You were staring out the window
My eyes were on the road
I was too busy losing control
Didn’t know that I was losing you
I know that we’ll be over soon
I’m sorry that I couldn’t carry you
Over the threshold
I’ll keep my distance
While you gather your things
I’ll pull your hair pins
From the carpet
Who let down who the most?
We spend too much time staring at our phones
Or too much time in another’s bed
Too much time pretending
Didn’t know that I was losing myself
Now that feels irrelevant
I can’t look at the water without imagining
Where we would have been
If I didn’t fuck this like I do everything

Not Like This

If we can agree on one thing then let it be that it’s a shame to have gone what we went through to end up this way
We’re a year on from frequent trips
The seasons are always hit and miss
But not like this
If we were to agree on another thing then let it be that no one wins
I’m rid of you, as you are me, and it’s just as it should be
But not like this
I’d like to say that I’ve got no regrets
But given the chance I’d take back every stupid thing I’ve ever done and said
Starting with you, old friend
Let’s gift ourselves the ampersand
The one that our names used to have
Don’t leave me low, keep me up and close
And more or less morose
Let’s offer up a helping hand no one needs to leave town in a body bag
I’d like to think that I could just forget
It’s no ones fault that we didn’t have the means to mend
The end came to soon
But then again...
I’d like to say that I’ve got no regrets
But given the chance I’d take back every stupid thing I’ve ever done and said
Starting with you, old friend
I’m tired of this
And you
And me
But mainly you

Share A Breath

I found the birthday card that you sent last September
Your writing is different since your hands constantly tremble
In the photographs you’re starting to look grey
Fading away
I wish that you could stay
Let’s hold a séance
Let’s get possessed
Let’s bring all of our loved ones back from the dead
We’ll hold hands
Share a breath
And promise to never leave again
I’ll never find a moments peace
(I hope you forever haunt me)
Are you wondering?
(Or just staring into oblivion?)
When your mind gets tired
(Just rest yourself beside me)
Because I’m beside myself with grief
I must’ve lost my train of thought
I don’t believe in god
Let’s hold a séance
Let’s get possessed
(Let’s get depressed)
Let’s bring all of our loved ones back from the dead
We’ll hold hands and celebrate
And promise to never leave again
I don’t believe in god
But I believe in you
