like the rain on my rooftop, i need you closer. like the ocean, your moving closer and further away.

friends (free) 01:41
walking down to the hard side of town. my friends can be found looking at the ground. wondering what to do tonight, it always starts with brews at night, and then we walk our way to town, because my friends car it broke down. where else would i wann be with my friends as family. i wanna party all night with my friends by my side.
3.
all my life i was skeptical, never thought i deserved to feel good. about anything or fall for anyone. my heart my head lived in the dark. its funny how when your not looking the greatest things can happen and for a moment, everything had worked out fine i had you by my side you were mine. then you left, and i was empty inside. like before. you will always have the best part of me, i wrote on your papers, when you left that day. its seems i've learned, the only thing that heals distance is time, and now that i've had it, i'm glad i've known you. i'm so glad we're still friends even though your oceans away. i will always love you. (you will always be my friend)

lost love. words don't do justice. you can't drown it in tears, you can't beat it out of the wall. you can't punish it out yourself, you can't smother it in flesh, you can't bury it in substance, you can't starve it to death. nothings sums it up. nothing makes it better. nothing makes the ache go away. the sun can shine all it likes the moon can rise and fall. i'll still miss you.
5.
i'm caught in the crossover, between the city and the rest of the world. looking above the grey. between the brown city glow, yeah the tips of the moon in the dark blue show. my feet crunch gravel underneath. my hands brush the leaves of the trees. the smell of the grass reminds me that.... i'm walking to waiting for you to get here. and it seems the best part of town is almost here. the cold side of your bed sounds like the sweetest thing to me right now.
6.
and the days blur into one another, and the years disappear with the others. getting older on the outside, but i'm still scared on the inside. it all just gets too much, when your life is breaking up. you just wanna run away, fight the urge and stay in the same place, don't even turn your gaze. you miss appointments you swore you wrote down in your diary. and all your friends turn to strangers and give you those strange looks. despite a confident smile i'm terrified of talking to (crowds of) people, give me a room full of strangers, i'd find the corner in no time. i'm just a fuck up living in the shell of someone greater.

good one 02:41
i miss your hands tangled in my hair when you talked about how you liked a girl i miss how we used laugh at everyone followed by laughter at ourselves i miss how you'd wait for me, when i was hours and hours late. then we'd to and fro then make love. and forget about mistakes. and we broke each others hearts to go in search of who we are. and everything will change and when your hands begin to shake know that your not lost your just far away. i miss the bathtub with the shower where we'd sit and talk away except that time that we stayed silent to wash your sadness down the drain. i miss how you helped me sleep at night in peace for the first time in years. only you know how much you mean to me, cos i mean the same to you. and we broke each others hearts, in the name of adventure. and everything will change and when my vision turns to grey i know i'm not lost i 'll just fade away. when you go blind i'll be your view and if the rope breaks i'll be your ladder you cling to. and if your weight gets heavy, i'll be your arms and if you body stops working i'll be your heart. we did a good one and we had out time in the sun and everything has changed but what we gave it still remains when the sunlight goes, we dont fade away.

home 06:43
flicking stones into the street, too tired to walk on these sore feet and its too far to walk home. most of the people that i know work themselves to the bone. but i'm too tired to try and i don't want that life. counting down the days til we can get a way do you still feel the same. counting down the days til i can see your faces. honestly now i'm lost and alone i can see that this town aint really my home. i could just walk away. this town is as dry as a bone. this ghost towns my "home" i just wanna go home to where i truly from to where i belong. i just want to go home.
