all my calls are going to voicemail you don’t pick up the phone, you don’t show up where you’re supposed to be I have flashbacks of train tracks and flatlining machines want to run my hands through your hair let my lips tell you that I’m here, I’m right here as they’re pressed against yours The monster in my head is whispering The same one that lives under my bed it’s asking me why you didn’t trust me enough to let me be there it’s reminding me that I’ve been close to having blood on my hands before it’s running memories in my head like home movies im pushing past the crowd, I’m reaching for you There’s never going to be a world where my light is off, my phone is on silent, and my doors locked I’m here whenever you need it darling the porch light is on if you find your way to this part of town, I’m here if you remember for long enough that that used to mean something to us

leave the light on
all my calls are going to voicemail you don’t pick up the phone, you don’t show up where you’re supposed to be I have flashbacks of train tracks and flatlining machines want to run my hands through your hair let my lips tell you that I’m here, I’m right here as they’re pressed against yours The monster in my head is whispering The same one that lives under my bed it’s asking me why you didn’t trust me enough to let me be there it’s reminding me that I’ve been close to having blood on my hands before it’s running memories in my head like home movies im pushing past the crowd, I’m reaching for you There’s never going to be a world where my light is off, my phone is on silent, and my doors locked I’m here whenever you need it darling the porch light is on if you find your way to this part of town, I’m here if you remember for long enough that that used to mean something to us
