the girl doesn't know just who she is
nor where it is she belongs
wanders around from man to man
giving each a portion of her soul

the only hint of what this does to her
is the sadness behind blue eyes
the truth at times spills out in tears
but never enough to wash the lies

the feeling is there's something missing
in this world she has sold to self
a life that's built on nothing
a missing life she knows all to well

you, my first happiness
you, my first interest
you, my first smile
you, my first touch
you, my first interlock
you, my first song
you, my first bloom
you, my first embrace
you, my first love
you, my first sun

you, my first fall
you, my first sorry
you, my first ignorance
you, my first tear
you, my first sorrow
you, my first hatred
you, my first wilt
you, my first death

and i, your last moon
her car was painted neon green
had stickers from places she been
and places she dreamed of
the backseat was a bookshelf
and laundry hamper
James Dean has been sighted back there
on nights when she was running the back roads
at a hundred and cup of coffee in her hand
speed talking over the radio playing too loud
you can hear them laughin miles away
shes got a neon green little car
filled with a world of sunshines
filled with a universe of wonders
and a few McDonalds wrappers
few over due books
and a cat named Steve
been up and down the I-95 corridor
living off the beach Hollywood Florida
chilli cheese dogs and coke
and they share the world with the smiles
she has a little neon green car
you don't need much when you already got everything

I told him,
"If I could, I would gouge out my eyes,
so that you can see what I see.
I would rip out my heart,
so you could see who it really beats for."

He told me,
"If I could, I would chop off my hands,
so that you could touch heaven.
I would peel off my skin,
so you can be warm."

We traded our bodies,
and we learned where we stood.
I had the smell of his skin;
he had the beating of my heart.
there's really something about that boy in Algebra

You were a lullaby,
and I knew that you hurt.
You're a song
that is way
too low for
my range.

Maybe,
if I beg you to tell me you love me,
it'll all of a sudden become true.

I just want to have a picnic with something in the woods.
I just want to run my hands through your long, brown hair.
I just want to hear you call me, 'Kitten.'
I just want to be in your reach, again.

I can't stop staring so you,
and I hope you don't mind.

- By the way, you're on mine.

You told me that if I was going to hate myself... I had to hate you too. I couldn't do that. What did you mean?
-backspace

Hey! I can't get your smell out of my mouth. Your taste is in my nose. Oh wait.. that's backwards.
-backspace

You hate whenever I drink, so I just want you to know that I'm drunk.
-backspace

I just took 27 pills; I love you.
