I become afraid
of the sun -- I just wanted
love -- she burned me twice.

it's two a.m. and i can't stop remembering
the way you feel
the way you taste
i can't stop

you're consuming my brain
taking over my body
the liquor in the bottle is long gone
i saw your face at the bottom so i grabbed another

i can't forget you no matter how hard i try
you are in everything i see
feel
you are the air i breathe and the light i feel on my skin
no matter how much i try
you're always there

i wish you'd leave so i can move on
here's to another bottle

-lost somewhere far from here

i wrote about you on the tallest billboards
screamed your name from every rooftop
in hope someone would hear me

i sand your name in every song i wrote
singing the words of heartbreak and lust
in the melodies intertwined
the words spilled out of me like
water in a cup
making the soles of my shoes wet with tangled words
of poetry

i uttered your name until my throat was hoarse
scratched with the letters that spell out your name
so beautifully

letters that make something so simple
into something so melancholy

Your spine curves like a saxophone,
I intend to play our symphonies
on the pearls that decorate your skin,
That trumpet in your throat sings
loud and full of life,
Please share it with me tonight,
The metronome across your chest
is a warm reminder of who I have
been looking for,
We do not even notice the broken
strings we share in our necks,
looked past tongue tied apologies
in the midmorning outros,
lay with me here tonight,
as if we were a chorus,
in just the right tune

No one's youer than you,
Or me-er than me

So lets be the us-iest us,
That we can be.

After that, just let it be.

if tears are a language
mine will drown you
just to let you know how much
i love you

if tears are a language
you'd hear a storm raging
flooding the thoughts of you
with her

if tears are a language
you'd see huge waves of them
suddenly and unexpectedly when
i miss you

because if tears are a language
you might understand me better
see, words have failed me but
i'm made out of 70% water

and so maybe just maybe
you'll finally see
the control you have
over a huge part of me
