I gave you my car today,
Electric blue, hasn’t seen people since may
but the dashboard’s stained with teardrops
Its nice though, hasn’t been used since may
I drove it, sorry, to fuel my addiction
To drugs? Not to drugs to
The friction between you and me,
Your eyes, mine, so take the keys
Was it that long ago that we spoke?
You made your line but it wasn’t coke
Cities divided us before we met
It was 4am and you won that
We rushed back to my house, remember?
You could never hold your fucking temper
In the rain I told you please don’t move
The light hit you in a way I couldn’t loose
When we got there the paper was out of the printer
The ink was wet, the room was colder…
I read you the number in black, the bar code it lacked
Light it you ass hole, you know where that shit got me?
But you folded it once, twice
You left with my car, good
Just ask your new car how many red lights it’s seen
How many times it has wanted to scream
I hope that she brings you further then I Hope so
Dad
Listen, I painted his eyelashes so that when he looked up he would paint the sky.
Problem is all you really wanted was for me to see the future ---you said don’t get any in his eye.
I told you listen bitch I know you’ve done a lot for me
But remember I still have a life to live but you can’t see.
I may not be the one you wanted in that fancy catalog
Your favorite picture that’s of me is really you in fog
It’s just too hard to live in suitcase worlds, with carryon bags and late-departing flights.
That’s yours but really your true sacrifice was forgetting how to fly a kite.
But, maybe we could go a day with out these chances
Of -oh letting our mouths do all these distant dances
Cus then we’d have an opportunity to decipher all these glances
I made us fancy reservations at a fancy little place, but all you really wanted was for me to be…
I wanted it to be the perfect night, see I made them dot their eyes and cross the tea.
I know you didn’t want me being “made-fun-of”
but you did it more, oh wait that was ‘love’
I told you listen bitch I know you’ve done a lot for me
But remember I still have a life to live but you can’t see
You’d gladly sacrifice this life for 7 cup holders in your mini van
You’d sit there every day with all your whores and a beer can
But I remember once you told me (in your sleep) that every thing was caving in
Maybe I have been wrong about you and your sin
You asked me what was with the bright mascara, I told you one more time its so I’d paint the sky

Can we be friends
Something that lasts until it sinks is hardely worth our time
Cus ships can never hold their, wait
Can we be buddies, its just too late, maybe, to be that way
Im scared your grace will utter-all there is- in this world
Dont take me down, just let me down
Were friends I know, can we be more with out the show?
Ships have anchors, yeah I know, dates have times --I want something free.. amazing
You could tell me that story.. undress it, it can have so many characters
But the main ones have to be, you and me, no one else can steal the spot light,
But ships just always seem to sink
so shake my hand and kiss the rain instead
