You found four last cigarettes,
One for me, for him, for her, for you.

But I said, "Nah, you can't! You've come so far..."
Then I started to think: What's one last drag?

Times before. Yellowed teeth.
**** it, babe, let's just drink.

It's not about where you're going
You said.
It's about how far you've come
You said.
But I wanna go far
I said,
Let's go, come
I said let's go far away, come on

I do many different things at many different times
And mostly it makes me feel alright.
But then a few weeks pass and I am back on my ***
Wondering what I did to lose the fight.

I'm stuck in a dreamland, honey, but what else is there to do?

I'm trying to find the right thing,
To feel alright doing what it is I dream,
And if not for me then for who?
What else is there to do?

I'm stuck in a dreamland, honey, but what else is there to do?

A friend asked what I've been up to lately
And my only response was "just livin' life."
"Whatever that means," she said
And, honey, what's truer than that?


I'm stuck in a dreamland, honey, but what else is there to do?

I'm stuck in a dreamland, honey, but what else is there to do?

I'm stuck.

We have potential, why do I feel mental
most of the time?
We have potential, it doesn't have to be confidential
that you're mine.

They say Jesus turned the other cheek
to give us all the lovin' that we could get.
When I lean in for a kiss I get either the right or the left
What's this, love?
I forget.

We have potential, why do I feel mental
most of the time?
We have potential, it doesn't have to be confidential
that you're mine.

I've spent too much time bein' sad,
It's not wrong, I'm not mad,
Just wastin' time.

you don't have to do it better if you already do it best.

What if on my way home I was in a car crash...
...I am fine,
but before you disappear a night at a time
let me know if you love me.
Miscommunication,
or needing space,
whatever we have doesn't need to be a race,
but let me know if you love me.

Peachy ****,
lipstick prints on necks
of boys.
No,
of bottles.

Alcohol leaves me puffy-eyed,
& so do the boys,
& if both are the same
I choose bottles, readily
available for only me.

I've been wanting true love,
& I've got a guy who will tell it true.
Not sure if what we've got is love,
but it'll have to do.
