Atoms
The amount I think about you
would surely scare you away
but if you want to be soul mates
just for a little while
we could play pretend
act like we're made from the same star
atoms finding their way home
inevitable amongst the chaos and the dark

Spreadsheets
Do you ever wonder what will be left when we're gone?
Will it be the meeting invites
The spreadsheet that are the final final final draft
The days leaving home in the dark
And returning when it's even darker
Time away from the people we love
The things we want
Ideas of who we'd rather be
Are our lives just passing deadlines?
An endless cycle of things to circle back on
To put a pin in
And take offline
Are we anything but idling as the days pass us by?

Rubble
I want you to ruin my life
and maybe yours at the same time
I want you to tell me you love me
even if you don't
because for a moment it could be nice
to just be in the wrong
We could sit amongst the rubble
talk about the meaning of it all
as if any of it matters
I want you and I know I shouldn't
I'm just searching for validation
while you look for an exit sign
But, maybe it'd be nice
to set it all on fire and fall for a line

Lists
It wasn't just one thing
It was the minutes that felt like hours idling in the driveway
not wanting to go inside
It was the solo trips to the supermarket
for some space to breathe
just a moment of relief
It was the feeling in the pit of my stomach knowing that I was running late
and it would end in a fight
It was the time you made me cry on my birthday
or any random Tuesday
It was the not knowing who I was anymore
It was never being enough
because it was never just one thing

Romantics
I wonder if you think about me as much as I think about you
If you lay awake staring at the ceiling at three am
thinking about kisses in the corners of parties
we didn’t want to go to
Walking the long way home as if we don’t feel the cold
dizzy and drunk under street lights and stars
lost somewhere in the city arm in arm
The sound of your voice on the back of my neck
on lazy Sundays when we have no reason to leave the bed
I wonder if any of this would make sense to you
If you romanticise us in the same way I do

Talk
I want to tell you about my morning coffee,
the article I read last week,
and all the ways I got my heart broken when I was seventeen
I want to hear about the nights you barely remember,
about the days that feel like too much,
and everything in between

Venting
You were my entire night sky
Now I drive home in the dark without looking up
The songs that reminded me of you still play on the radio
But I don't think of that summer in the city when I hear them anymore
I fell in love again
And I want to tell you I hate it because it's not the same
It never could be
Seasons change and so did we
I'm better now in some ways but without you feels worse
And I wonder if you feel the same
