lyrics

collapse me honey
break the bones that tense me up
collect me honey
kill the thing that makes me stop
before I’m done
now we are done

it reanimates me
puts the blood under my skin
I allow it to wake me
repair me from within
the light is dim
and we are done

don’t know if I’m over it but it’s over now
might not work out but it’ll work somehow

how do you love like that?
doesn’t it make you so sad?
I loved you just like that
I just love a person like that
how do I love a city like that?
don’t know how it got so bad
I love this city like that
can’t leave this city like that

erase me
make some friends that you like more
replace me honey
I’ll be silent as I board
the 92
cause I miss you

I feel it shaking
the city holds me now
the way you used to
the arms becoming exit ramps
in the blue
and I miss you

don’t know if I’m over it but it’s over now
it might not work but it’ll work somehow

how did I manage that?
shouldn’t it have made me sad?
I loved a person like that
I loved a person like that
and I love the city like that
don’t know how it got so bad
I love this city like that
I love this city like that
