With you I'm learning what falling in love feels like because I'm in love with you.

And I asked you to give me a month,
you would have waited years.
And you asked me to take
my cues from you,
and really do this right.

So I hope these notes are all right because with you
I think I know what falling in love feels like and it doesnt feel like anything before

I hope the world turns slowly,
because I'm falling fast and I
want to cherish this,
this working thing we have,
and only complicated
by those who've never been here.

But now I know what falling in love feels like.

You told me I could be run off by you,
but all roads lead to you
my Rome, my Romeo.
Our points are set,
our hearts are buried deep and even
and with you in front of me
I can't miss a single moment
falling into you.
I want to share everything with you,
and for once, I'm not at all scared to
because I want you
to fall in love with every piece of me,
just like I am with every slice of you.

So I hope these notes are all right because with you
I think I know what falling in love feels like and it doesnt feel like anything before

I hope the world turns slowly,
because I'm falling fast and I
want to cherish this,
this working thing we have,
and only complicated
by those who've never been here.

Lying on your bed,
lying on my bed,
wherever we are doesn't matter.
I can always find you on the rink
and the river, in the hall
and from anywhere with cell service
if I'm gonna be as honest as my heart is telling me I love you.

if it started in the basement where do we end up?

when my lips press up questions with my hands far down below
what do I want from you?
new love got noticed today

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

back at home shallow hands we've hung up at the door
and duct-taped truth gagged in the den
if it's in the open, it shouldn't have to be said
but you just could be blind? or is your mouth not quite on straight?
like mine.

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

please try again with this vending machine of love
I wont take your crumpled-for-granted dollar no more
take me out to city streets
or i'll just go alone
and perhaps text you when i'm home

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
the text behind my fingers might be lying but my lips for sure are not.
holding hands doesn't count when your mouth is facing the other way

reading lines from a script in goodnights and hello's and daring daring not to say
when I didn't always mean it
it goes unspoken face to face
what do you hear between us?
I think I'm going deaf

re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?
re-calibrate and judge again
is there anything we've fought for?

holding hands doesn't count when my mouth is facing the other way pressed against somebody else's.
I hope you notice before I have to say.

popularity is just relatability
see them in that mirror watching you
but check your compacts at the door
(look them in the eye)

some days the sun shines
some days the sky pours out on us
and before that all the dawn's good light goes
why bother asking you why
all you know is that it ought to be blue
but buildings always turn to gray up high
so how wrong can you be?

don't lie to me
don't come crying to me about all of your mistakes
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
i'm done with this
done with all of your ****
done being what you have to kick around

this building aint well structured
and we're the ivy falling off the sides
to find a better place for all our roots and shoots up in sidewalks are better
your AC was so dry
your humors outdated
you're problems all too trite
why the hell would i put up with that?

don't lie to me
don't come crying to me about all of your mistakes
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
i'm done with this
done with all of your ****
done being what you have to kick around

if it rains it pours with you
cant see the sunset for the clouds
cant be all that i supported
i'll be done with you and all your failings too
done with all your mistakes and tears
goodnight
goodbye
i'm done being your own **** up
don't you dare lie to me
i'm done with your problems
done being your solution, sounding board for bigger better things
done being what you have to kick around
done being what you have to kick around.

there have always been words
stoppered up against my
lips that would ruin us
i'm so afraid to say
-that i would take a
breath- ruin us
with a song
