Goodnight and Go

Go
Go be, go do
We are far and we are few in-between
Remember all you’ve been
‘Cause I do
Go do
Don’t
Don’t worry, don’t cry
We have grown and we have tried to be more
Forgetting what we came here for
So don’t cry
Don’t cry
It feels like yesterday
Only yesterday
We had eyes as wide as the moon
And we grew up so soon
Go, go
Say goodnight and go
Go, oh-oh-ey-oh
You’re as ready as you’ll be
And I’m as ready as I’ll be to watch you leave
So say goodnight, and go
Be
Be free, be you
Overwhelmed, but you knew to be strong
Knew what you wanted all along
So be you
Be you
It feels like yesterday
Only yesterday
We had eyes as wide as the moon
Oh yesterday
I swear it was yesterday
And we grew up so soon
To the echo of a thousand tunes
Go, go
Say goodnight and go
Go, oh-oh-ey-oh
You’re as ready as you’ll be
And I’m as ready as I’ll be to watch you leave
So say goodnight, and go
(Go, go be, go do
Be free, be you, be
Don’t worry, don’t cry)
Maybe
Maybe we
Never outgrow these growing pains
And maybe
Maybe
This life’s just a series of growing pains
Maybe this life’s just a series of growing pains
You’re as ready as you’ll ever be
You’re ready
Go, go
Say goodnight and go
Go, oh-oh-ey-oh
You’re as ready as you’ll be
And I’m as ready as I’ll be to watch you leave
So say goodnight
Say goodnight
Say goodnight and go

Halcyon Days

One week, that’s all it took
For me to change my mind on you
We both couldn’t have known
What a change of pace and scene would do
Too bad it couldn’t last
All we do is bicker now
I wish we could turn back
But I’m too anxious, you’re too proud
I can’t help but think of better days I’ve had with you
I read your face better than I think you’d like me to
Please don’t try to deflect
We both know it was double-sided
You try, try to pretend
That you weren’t feeling just as high
When we sat side by side
The space shrinking as minutes passed
I know I should have stopped
Since nothing good between us ever lasts
I can’t help but think of better days I’ve had with you
You know my make better than you’d like to own up to
Can’t sit
Can’t sleep
Tired of being in the in-between
Tired of trying to convince myself that this could be easy
Can’t sit
Can’t sleep
Tired of peace being temporary
Tired of thinking you’d think for once of me
I can’t help but think of better days I’ve had with you
I read your face better than I think you’d like me to
I can’t help but think of better days I’ve had with you
You know my make better than you’d like to own up to

Kill My Darlings

Come, sit
Closer darling, I don’t bite
Spill out
Your contents, I promise to use you right
Give me
Your hearts, I’ll ring them out one by one
I love
But only in finely-tempered conditions
You’ll learn to love me, darling
You’ll learn to love the fear
I’ll call you when I need you
You’ll grow to love me, dear
What’s the matter, darling?
The ringing in your ears?
You’ll adapt to my needs
You’ll learn to love me, dear
Shadows
Dancing beside you, dead in the water
Semantics
I call it love, you call it slaughter
Keep up
It’s deadly how easily I bore
I’m sick
Pathologically lonely to my core
You’ll learn to love me, darling
You’ll learn to love the fear
I’ll call you when I need you
You’ll grow to love me, dear
What’s the matter, darling?
The ringing in your ears?
You’ll adapt to my needs
You’ll learn to love me, dear
Don’t get so close
Don’t leave me alone
You're getting too close
Don't leave me alone
You’ll learn to love me, darling
You’ll learn to love the fear
I’ll call you when I need you
You’ll grow to love me, dear
What’s the matter, darling?
The ringing in your ears?
You’ll adapt to my needs
You’ll learn to love me, dear

Deafen my ears with your excuses
But I’ll find it endearing because I’ve lost my mind
I can’t say no to you
Can I borrow some self-respect? ‘Cause I seem to have lost all of mine
I try to act like I’m indifferent
But give it just a minute, and I’m all over you
And the worst part is that you know you can treat me
Like I’m disposable and I’d crawl back for round two
You just keep taking, you just keep taking, you just keep taking from me
And I just keep giving, I just keep giving
Oh what is wrong with me?
‘Cause I’d set myself on fire, to keep you warm
I’d set myself on fire to keep you warm
My mind, my heart, your loaded words clash
And I’m stuck in the cross-fire, this is no way to love
I try to tell myself it’s a scratch
Just a careless accident, that I’m fine, it’s only blood
You just keep taking, you just keep taking, you just keep taking from me
And I just keep giving, I just keep giving
Oh what is wrong with me?
‘Cause I’d set myself on fire, to keep you warm
I’d set myself on fire to keep you warm
Baby there’s smoke comin’ out my ears, and where there’s smoke there’s fire
Baby I just wanna push up on you, and where there’s friction there’s fire
Baby there’s smoke comin’ out my ears, and where there’s smoke there’s fire
Baby I just wanna push up on you, and where there’s friction there’s fire
‘Cause I’d set myself on fire, to keep you warm
I’d set myself on fire to keep you warm

Corners and Crevices

Close your eyes, I’ll close the blinds
We’ll close this chapter, we’ll change our minds
Turn away, and don’t turn back
I’ll turn the other cheek, we won’t relapse
Lock the door, we’ll lock lips
You lock me out, you never let me in
You’ve lost your smile, and I’ve lost sleep
And I’d rather lose you, but we’re in too deep
We’re running out of space
We’re running out of time
We’re just running in place
Now you’re out of breath, and I’m out of my mind
I’ll go and hide in all my corners
You go and hide in all your problems
It’ll all work itself out
I’ll let this go a little longer
You let this go on way too long
No, it won’t work itself out
I say it hurts, you say I’m proud
But our body language speaks twice as loud
You look tired, and I look lost
We look at just the good, but at what cost?
We’re running out of space
We’re running out of time
We’re just running in place
Now you’re out of breath, and I’m out of my mind
I’ll go and hide in all my corners
You go and hide in all your problems
It’ll all work itself out
I’ll let this go a little longer
You let this go on way too long
No, it won’t work itself out
You’re just a corner that I hide in when I’m alone
I’m just a crevice in the life you love to know
And I’ll sit in the corner, where you send me when I see
That you’re the crevice swallowing my empathy
(We’re running out of space, we’re running out of time, we’re just running in place)
We’re just running in place
I’ll go and hide in all my corners
You go and hide in all your problems
It’ll all work itself out
I’ll let this go a little longer
You let this go on way too long
No, it won’t work itself out
I’ll go and hide in all my corners
Go and hide in all your problems
It’ll all work itself out
I’ll let this go a little longer
You let this go on way too long
No, it won’t work itself out
No, it won’t work itself out
