you ask
are we gonna be ok in the morning?

I wasn't going to be anyways.

the last place I ever felt beautiful
was in your arms

I could fit into your life,
or your pocket
just don't leave me

take me back
to the time you dyed your hair purple
and we went to drum circles
and our whole lives were ahead of us

there's some fight in her yet
after all you put her through

her eyes are dead but she's still breathing
her breaths are shallow but her heart is still beating
her pulse is slow but her mind is still there
barely

just to remind her
that there's some fight in her yet

you can be my fella
if I can be your gal
we can go to a speakeasy
and sneak kisses on the walk home
swell

pin me after class
I’ll wear your letter cardigan
so everybody will know
that we are going steady

pick me up in your porsche 944
we can go for a ride
put in your favorite tape (tenderness)
and we can spend the night together
rad

we could start as adversaries
like in every 90’s teen movie
but secretly we will fall for each other
until our relationship culminates
at the party
where the whole school
is getting down to B.I.G.

let’s be facebook official

your skin is gold
                              to me.

next to you
                       i feel


                                                 tarnished.
