vied with chance
I'm in over my head
again
I find no freedom in advance
write why instead of
crying into my hands
again
I find no freedom in advance
you sat upon the countertop
I took a walk around the quad
all I want to say is, "talk"
I am again
in over my head
can't find freedom in advance
the world's eyes shut,
but mine stay
covered with my hands
can't find freedom in advance
I slept til the alarm went off
but I forgot to wind the clock
all I want to be awake is to be not

you can understand it too
filing cabinet glowing
not planning on getting through
you can understand it too
you can understand it too
piano in the living room
hiding in the master bed
you can understand it too
you can understand it too
filing cabinet glowing
not planning on getting through
you can understand it too

I remember all the melodies you wrote
they're still in my head and in my throat
they were a little higher than I'd like to sing
but strain is at the root of possibility
yeah
I remember all the melodies you wrote
they're still in my head and still hurting my throat
they were a little higher than you'd like to sing
but that's just the result of vulnerabilities
It doesn't travel out this room, I hope you know
past this room, past these walls, or past my throat
It was a little tenser than we'd like to think
but I like when you play guitar and when you sing
yeah
You've always been attracted to higher things
It's not a problem, by itself, to grow wings.
I see a lot of myself in you
and I don't have a doubt that you don't want me to.
I get that we both have things we're running from
and I hope that someday soon we find someone
make us realize all of the good we've done

I had a good time
seeing you today.
I had a good time.
I wanted you to stay.
Why does it feel like
we're never awake
at the same time?
One of us always has to wait.
The last time I saw you
before you moved away,
I hugged you lamely
cause tightly would mean goodbye
I've replayed that mistake
every single day
