I think i’m done with my hiding places traded my hollows for open spaces traded myself for a willing replacement so something stays hiding in the back of the basement never a moment to spare in the cold months I think i’m tired of getting my coat on heading out crying in the arms of the pale sun just to return when it goes like the ocean remember the water when i was a new star? leaning out the passenger seat of your used car? I don’t know how it was so rich and so warm outer space and safe from the snow storm remember the air back when i was a chrysalis? wearing the dress that i got for Christmas heading out crying in the heat of July just to burn in the arms of the moon in the warm sky

I met you once, do you remember? you found me waiting by the door I’d been front and center on the floor pretending you looked at me as you performed I met you once, do you remember? I asked how it felt to be onstage name-dropped the song I wished you’d played (I would have killed me at that age) knowing I was on your mind for a second while I held your eyes I tried to memorize every word you said that night I met you once, do you remember? I’m sorry for the way I acted then I didn’t even see you as a person just another story to impress my friends wish I could do the first time again wish I could do the first time again wish I could do the first time again wish I could do the first time again

Finish Line 04:58
someone on my street smokes on the steps theres a tray with the ghosts of cigarettes they’re never out when I walk by just a shape in the back or a hole in the blinds I don’t know why this is on my mind but I look for it every time ooo... someone in the car is yelling loud shes got a phone but no one else around and there’s a dog in the backseat getting by a look on his face like he wishes he could cry I guess this is his whole life and she misses the moment every time ooo..... someone in your phone is taking my place she’s got a way with words and an open face and there’s no race I can run this time her mark on your page erases mine she’s already at the finish line and I missed every moment and every sign there’s no one else in the world I’d rather say this to don’t walk away, I need you there’s no one else in the world I’d rather say this to don’t walk away I need you
