lyrics

your hair tangled taped up in archetypal locks of cirrus clouds that i can't ask to leave, like breathing gasoline

i'm outside of your car
it's far too cold to be pumping gas
for someone that doesn't care about me
i'm outside of your car
it's far too cold to be pumping gas
for someone that doesn't care about me

i want to paint by numbers
i want personal space
i want to fold myself inside the cracks
inside of my brain

i will never lay down
won't put my head to rest
i was thankful for the boredom
and the comfort you suggest

and i was never lonely i was never distressed
i was discouraged by the effort it takes to get up and get dressed

so i held on
and i self-talked
and you felt fine
as we both walked
so i held on
and i self-talked
and you felt fine
as we both walked
so i held on
and i self-talked
and you felt fine
as we both walked
so i held on
and i self-talked
and you felt fine
as we both walked

it's far too cold to be pumping gas for someone who's just going to leave

LOSE:

you wrapped ur car around me
you twisted up metal
i could hardly breathe
i wouldn't look up anyway
i just stared at my feet
there's cpr it's a crime scene
paramedics bandages and morphine
i think of new years i think of phone booths
i think of your family and i think i'm knocked loose

i swear to god all anyone wants is to love and be loved in return

i'm not sad that i lost you
i'm sad because i found out i could lose
