these things weren't made for shift or shake the way the light hits strangely and it's hard to keep yourself awake when everything is changing on you you said, "the hardest thing about nineteen was waking up and realizing anything you love will leave but these things don't dispose of easy"

well nothing's what it was last week still our limbs work just the same but all our holes burn much too deep with the reasons we can't fall asleep and i don't know why when all that was left were daydreams and sweaters it's too warm to wear you decided you'd be sorry frankly, i don't think it's fair and i don't know why i even try most times so that's the problem with kids like you and me we make one-thousand-foot-tall mountains from the speedbumps on our street and stand still
3.
so they took a bright red marker and wrote it loud you're gonna run until your legs break and call me for a ride into the next town but i won't be around the things in our suitcases stay locked hidden away and they're never half as scary as the things we wake up with every day so put a sweater on if you're hearts grown that much colder slept straight through september, october bleach the floors hide the remains and chalk it up to yesterday cause as of late, we're not living we're just wasting away
4.
so we're pulled threads on sweaters that used to be my favorite we're a great big mess of the grandest kind cause lately i'm convinced that we just live on separate planets that both come down at entirely the wrong times it's a lot like that cold summer when your father went away now your eyes are void of wonder we've run out of things to talk about
5.
well i won't fall asleep if you don't it's a long drive back to california street and i'm not glad the gas tank's empty but i'm glad you spent tonight with me "and i don't know what town this is, but i think i kinda like it"

your crooked smile & my worn-in shoes it was such a shame we had to lose so soon the way you'd run so fast and i would just stand still your feet were made to move, but mine never will cause i can't carry what won't fit inside my little coat pocket and you just haven't got the space for grown up feelings and paperweights & these things go right through you, but they hit me like a heart attack and now all our friends are moving on i just want last summer back again
