lyrics
hopeless romantic; i fall in love with everyone i meet
everyone i meet, everyone i
the whole world lit up when she stepped into the room
but there must have been motion-detector lights
hopeless analyst; i deconstruct everything that i feel
everything i feel, everything i
and in the silence, i learn to hate the sound of my own breath
and wish that i could stop it
but i know there are people out there who may not be here now
but still call me friend
and though they may be few in number, and sometimes far away
remember that they're there
it's hard to keep in mind
especially when there's no physical presence involved
but someone out there loves you
and since that's true, everything could turn out alright
teenage nothingness awaits the two of us from here on out
we can't live forever
and people may be assholes, but people are the best we've got
"isn't this where we came in?"
maybe it's time to stop leaning on every time i've failed
and instead find out what i can really do
maybe it's time to stop leaning on every time i've failed
and instead find out what i can really do
after all, what did anyone ever make that was good
without pouring in their faith and hopes and loves?
without ripping their chest open, holding their heart in their hand
and bearing their emotions and fears and souls for truth?
it's time to end this shit!
it's time to end this shit!
apparently, i can only complain
as adulthood begins, and teenage years draw to a close,
i slowly learn to get over it
we could never live forever, even if we wanted to
part of what makes life worthwhile is having to make choices
what's the point in planning for forever?
we could never live forever, who knows if we could love forever?
limits, here, add value to whatever we choose to do
there's no need to stay the same forever
everyone i meet, everyone i
the whole world lit up when she stepped into the room
but there must have been motion-detector lights
hopeless analyst; i deconstruct everything that i feel
everything i feel, everything i
and in the silence, i learn to hate the sound of my own breath
and wish that i could stop it
but i know there are people out there who may not be here now
but still call me friend
and though they may be few in number, and sometimes far away
remember that they're there
