Kill You

baby aren't you tired of coming clean
putting out your cigarettes on the street
like stepping stones through pools of gasoline
how many times have you done this to me
honey doesn't cheating get to you
even when you hide the things you do
when i can smell the holes in your perfume
and feel him when you walk into the room
darling i'm getting too old for that
of watching you pretend that it's the past
of painting over patches and filling in the cracks
girl would it kill you to love me back
baby it's too late to say it now
and words can't get the taste out of your mouth
apologies aren't supposed to wash right out
you don't seem to get what it's about
honey do you even give a damn
do you stick around just because you can
because knowing me i'll just give you another chance
and knowing you you'll do it all again
darling i'm getting too old for that
of pretending that this time will be the last
of walls that don't stop cracking and holes that can't be patched
girl would it kill you to love me back

Lighthouse

where’s the boy you said that you would wait for
that dropped his anchor the second he saw land
and where’s the girl he dreamt up just to have her
i bet your eyes look like hers behind your hands
i guess he gave up on being landlocked
and she stopped caring if the tide came in
he set sail for anywhere but right here
her little lighthouse on the rocks and on the mend
when did you get pictures of the people
some time ago we once set out to be
before we spent our mornings saying nothing
sorting through belongings like debris
and i’m not saying let’s forget the worst things
or act like we can make it if we try
but i think we might be worried about the shipwreck
as if we shouldn’t care that we survived
where’s the boy you said you’d learn to love for
i wonder if he still exists at all
or if the girl that he flew his white flag for
knows that her tears hit like cannonballs
i guess he gave up on charted waters
around the time that she turned off the light
it’s hard to say what would’ve been different
if his heart hadn’t washed ashore that night
do you look back and think about the people
we swore we would never start to be
back when we could sit and talk forever
back when all these pictures weren’t debris
and i’m not saying let’s pretend we’re perfect
or act like this will fix itself in time
i’m just saying we’re more than a shipwreck
we’re the only thing that survived

Maybe Baby

maybe baby
it’ll be over soon
got your gun and
your sweet perfume
your heart is dripping
down your old night gown
in my arms now
you’re safe and sound
you’ve got angels
inside your head
screaming demons
in wet cement
picture perfect
paintings in the sink
maybe baby
I’m just too weak
there you go spreading your infection
clawing stars right out of heaven
when you’ve finally drowned the light
maybe then you can sleep at night
maybe baby
you aren’t so sure
got yourself up
against the door
your hair is tangled
your voice is gone
head hung saviors
draped on the lawn
you’ve got angels
and you don’t know why
car horn choirs
as a lullaby
static scenes
that your mirror plays
maybe baby
they’ll go away
there you go with your half desires
pulling angels off their wires
when you’ve finally cleared the sky
maybe then you can sleep at night

Nothing

lock the door and make the bed
shut the book i never read
a happy accident i guess
nothing happens for a reason
close the blinds and swallow hard
the light will always find the dark
but i can't get a match to spark
to burn the things i'm leaving
mama ive got good news for once i swear
and we both remember the last time that i swore
mama ive got good news for once you'd be glad to hear
but i'm not going through it anymore
scared to death it's taking long
the cops on the street like a siren song
if nothing hurts then nothings wrong
nothing happens for a reason
cut the lights and the cable ties
the feeling in my fingers and the weight in my eyes
if i could see my face i bet i'd laugh and cry
and tell the world that we were even
mama ive got good news for once i swear
and we both remember the last time that i swore
mama ive got good news for once, you'll be the first to hear
i'm not going through it anymore
maybe someday you'll forgive me
maybe someday you'll forgive me
maybe someday you'll forgive me
maybe someday you'll forgive me

don't look at me the way i look at you
let's just do the kinds of things that broken people do
let's drink a toast to omaha
driving fast and living long
another chain to drag along
my heart is dry like an old ashtray
it's heard the words that people like us used to say
it's seen its share of fire
warmth and desire
smoke and mirrors and liars
so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's take this car as far as it can go
and only save enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone
don't talk to me the way i talk to you
as if i'm worth more trouble than just passing through
let's pour one out for omaha
single file and double crossed
getting out means getting lost
your heart is wild like an old junkyard
but it's not broken it's just pieces that you pulled apart
and we can make something better
something worn something weathered
but that can run for forever
so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's drive this car as far as it'll go
and only save enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone
so just for once let's hurt each other slow
let's save all our sad stories for the road
and only write enough to get us home
i just don't wanna do this thing alone
don't look at me the way i look at you
just let me use this busted light to get a better view
of the skyline we left in omaha
the road we took and the one we're on
almost here and almost gone
