Walking in the rain she told me Hold on to the better things Funny when the better things Talk about the better things New weather Now I'm wishing I could do better It's a trend setter for the Up-and-coming go-getter Now I'm on the train No one has a song to sing Looking at their phones Waiting for a ring Ghost vibrations haunting Pockets of the less patient Time for restart Time for back to basics Admittedly I'm falling into that category Remember last November? You said it's better for me The leaf colors always try to teach a lesson Paying for mistakes When I should have paid attention

The Fall

Walking in the rain she told me Hold on to the better things Funny when the better things Talk about the better things New weather Now I'm wishing I could do better It's a trend setter for the Up-and-coming go-getter Now I'm on the train No one has a song to sing Looking at their phones Waiting for a ring Ghost vibrations haunting Pockets of the less patient Time for restart Time for back to basics Admittedly I'm falling into that category Remember last November? You said it's better for me The leaf colors always try to teach a lesson Paying for mistakes When I should have paid attention

I guess it started when I felt I needed something different. When you want it, it's just hard to keep it realistic. All games. I'm done playing. Now the puzzle picture doesn't work with all these pieces missing. More specifically, we were closer when we kept our distance. Optimistic. Pessimistic. I can't even tell the difference. You would always break down when we talked about a break up. Mascara down your check, I always mess up trying to make up. Yeah I see that. Yeah I see all the complexity, it starts to mess with me. We take a seat but no one talks like an assembly. Mentioning the fact that we're not perfect is the perfect way to tell that it's not worth it, are you listening? No, it's always hard to hear the things that you don't want to hear. My phone battery on 17% that's how I feel here. "Are we done here?" She asked rhetorically, heading to the door. She's taking all her things. She can't take it anymore.

The way your eyes shine makes me glad I'm not blind. Actually, I think about it all the time. Even Stevie wouldn't wonder, I mean lightning looks good but it's the feeling of the thunder, ya know? Why are we always so reckless? Broken hearts on your checklist. I'm thinking I want more than that. I'm all turnt, how'd I end up in this cul-de-sac? Someone flipped the light switch. I'm like thank you Mr. Edison. I want more than just a side stitch. Shout out to Lilo, Disney mention. Did I mention? I always pay attention. That's why your boy can always tell when you're not yourself. I just want the real you. I'm sick of chicks with scripts baby tell the truth.
