don't make this
harder than it has to be
don't take me
at my word
i'm always
saying something wrong
drop the metaphors
drop the parts you knew
so well
you've traced your reasons
and i can't find them anymore
how can i reconcile
these two parts
you know you're only getting quieter
now i'm your
only choice

xhe stops to take a picture
in the crowned hall of losers
this is not a profound realization
or a quiet life
this is the crooning
in desperation
for a skyline
uninterrupted
and maybe i’m not in love
but maybe everyone in love is selfish
and u like to argue
and i like to argue
and maybe i’ve never been in love
but maybe everyone that has is helpless
and u like to argue
and i like to argue
she stops to take a picture
and if u squint it looks alright
i don’t think it could fix her
but maybe she’s fine
and maybe i’m not in love
but maybe everyone in love is selfish
and u like to argue
and i like to argue
and maybe i’ve never been in love
but maybe everyone that has is helpless
and u like to argue
and i like to argue
you ripped me open like an animal
and you replaced my organs
with roses and marigolds
and i took three years
to feel less unimportant
and i saw you
and it was like it was before
it’s not something i hold in pride
it’s not something i want to say out loud
it’s not even true
all of the time
and maybe i’m not in love
but maybe everyone in love is selfish
and u like to argue
and i like to argue
and maybe i’ve never been in love
but maybe everyone that has is helpless
and u like to argue
and i like to argue

i was lost and so were you
and when the dust settled
we were somehow found in each other
somewhere where i’m not real
and neither are you
but something more real
than anything else
i remember nothing from that time
except for what it was like when you kissed me
and i know that i could be in your arms
but you’d still miss me
i just thought that your closeness was
the only chance i’d ever get
and now i think i’ll be ok
but it still doesn’t make sense in my head
i remember nothing from that time
except for what it was like when you kissed me
and i know that i could be in your arms
but you’d still miss me
i wanted to call you a hundred times this week
and i know it wouldn’t resolve it but i want to get to sleep

i know you'd like a drink
it's something so irreducible
I guess it makes me think
that i don't want to go home
i think it's too much
i think it's too much
i'll see you in a month or so
let me know if you think it's possible
we could work out
i don't know if it's you i'm into
or maybe the fact i was a little different
when i was with you
i think it's too much
i think it's too much
i have a voicemail that you sent me
back in april of last year
you told me that you loved me and that you missed me
we hadn't talked in a few days
and now I've spent every day of the year
without you
good night
good night
i don't want to go to sleep tonight
i don't want to go to sleep tonight
i don't want to drink tonight
i just want to not have to drink to feel alright

twenty years of work you lost it
twenty years you know
it’s never quite the same
no victims
no perpetrators now
she’s trying to find your voice
you’re trying to not make noise
it’s not the same
no victims
no perpetrators now
all of my love i’ve left for you
it’s too much with me
won’t you hold it in your lungs
no victims
no perpetrators
no victims
no perpetrators now
i know that one day i’ll be gone
and if you miss me then please
don’t forget to dance
