I know.
It doesn't matter how many times you say
'It's alright'
or
'You can do it'
Because I've heard the words before
But I've seen that look in your eyes.
I know you don't really think I can do it.
I know that it comes easier to you.
I just don't know how to tell you that I really don't care,
And that I'm only pretending.
How about I tell you what 1+1 is instead?
I guess I'll get that wrong, too, though.

Kerosene,
Carry on,
Gasoline,
Move along,
Light a match
Watch it burn
Warmth so good,
Hurts so wrong.

. . .
I lost my mind when it came to you
Because you're not even sane.
I think we didn't fit together
Because we're almost the same.

Hey - forget what I said,
I'll forget what you did,
Just don't come at me anymore
Because I have no more bandages.

In less than a month,
I will be 17.
You said you were sorry because you didn't remember
what day exactly my birthday was,
But come on,
I forgot my own birthday once.

Moonflower, moonflower,
She will be okay.
Sunflower, Sunflower,
The pain will go away.
Medication, medication,
Moonflower pray.
Help yourself, please help yourself
Sunflower stay.

Moonflower, moonflower,
Your sun will be alright.
Sunflower, sunflower,
Your moon will soon be bright.
Sunset, moonrise
The quiet of the night
Moonset, sunrise,
Love in the morning light.

Slow down
Slow down, please.
We're riding a 35 mph road at 60 miles an hour
And there's curves everywhere.
I told you before, we're going to crash
And you don't have a seat belt on.
The radiator's cracked and it needs to be fixed
But you have a lead foot on the accelerator.
What'll happen to us if your brake goes out?
Slow down
Slow down, please.
