I can't see the moon but
I can feel it bursting in my bedroom
I'm thinking of the face you make before you kiss me
The sounds you say to tell me you've been listening
And I don't live by the sea but
I can feel it's crystals all over me
My love and I are diving deeper and deeper
With regular appointments at our local indie theater
And I'm a little scared but
The way you're scared when you're a kid
Between the time you jump and
The time you're all the way in
Soaring through a blur, my body in midair
I guess it's just a matter of time
I'm not very good at this
I feel like I am dancing on the precipice
Of something really lovely
Something really daunting
My body's shaking
But the feelings are haunting me
And I'm a little scared but
The way you're scared when you're a kid
Between the time you jump and
The time you're all the way in
Soaring through a blur, my body in midair
I guess it's just a matter of time
I know I move slowly
I am shaky like the engine of my '96 Toyota
I am running but I'm barely making it
I know I move slowly
I am shaky like the engine of my '96 Toyota
I am running but I'm barely making it
I know I move slowly
I am shaky like the engine of my '96 Toyota
I am running but I'm barely making it
I know I move slowly
I am shaky like the engine of my '96 Toyota
I am running but I'm barely making it
I am running but I'm barely making it
I am running but I'm barely making it

Its been a year now, maybe longer
Since she felt the sun shine on her long hair
And she's still got salt in her old sneakers
Just to remind her that she used to have adventures
Now she's in an office sending correspondence
To the queens of Sheba in their L.A. apartments
And she hears her heart beat
Slow and synthetic
She wants that rush but she can't figure where to get it
And she thinks: "I'm getting older by the minute.
What's this life if I'm not brave enough to live it?"
So she made a promise right there on Church Street
To let the light in and stop living in the back seat
And in an instant something was different
Her eyes inhaled and woke to see what she'd been missing
And in a chorus
All around her
With hands to heaven and voices full of laughter
The world sang: "We're getting older by the minute.
What's this life if we're not brave enough to live it?"
Now she sees in color, now she moves like fire,
Now she hears in harmony
Now she sees in color, now she moves like fire,
Now she hears in harmony
Now she sees in color, now she moves like fire,
Now she hears in harmony
Now she sees in color, now she moves like fire,
Now she hears in harmony

I'm a little bit embarrassed
At how long I've been crying over you
Even my friends are like "Hey girl"
"aren't you over him?"
Yeah damn I thought I was too
But the truth is in my search history
Please god let nobody see
The truth that's in my search history
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still the one I can't help but fall into
So you're still someone I'm avoiding
Maybe it's 'cause of my parents
Splitting while I was young
And we were nearly in love
Perhaps I've merely projected
All that was going wrong
And that's why we came undone
We had fun, we were mad
We were addicted to the shadows.
We knew back then we were destined
For greatness, for placing
Metal bars on all the windows.
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still the one I can't help but fall into
So you're still someone I'm avoiding
I'd be lying if I said I don't miss you
I keep you close enough to touch but I won't
In real life I'm moving east to forget you
But in my dreams I want to get you alone
Id be lying if I said I don't miss you
I keep you close enough to touch but I won't
In real life I'm moving east to forget you
But in my dreams I want to get you alone
Id be lying if I said I don't miss you
I keep you close enough to touch but I won't
In real life I'm moving east to forget you
But in my dreams I want to get you alone
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still someone I'm avoiding
You're still the one I can't help but fall into
So you're still someone I'm avoiding

All the good things happen to her she's
Picked by the boys and she's loved by the girls
'Cause she's a flower,
And that's her power.
The golden moonlight prefers her face she
Smells like honey and looks like lace
And we adore her,
And we want her closer.
I wanna wear her round my head,
I wanna lay her on my bed
And I wanna cut her down and love her till she's dead
Oh give me flowers
(Give me flowers)
I want weeping yellow and heavenly white,
I want dirty blue in the middle of the night
And if I can't find it,
Then I'll just go out and buy it.
I wanna wear them round my head,
I wanna lay them on my bed
And I wanna cut 'em down and love 'em till they're dead
Oh give me flowers
(Give me flowers)
Don't show your withering veins in the dirt just
Give us the petals the pulp and the skirt just
Give us the petals the pulp and the skirt just
Give us the petals the pulp and the skirt just
Give me flowers

I've done everything wrong
For about four years or so
And I've lost everything that I've won
For about four years or so
I've been singing the same three songs
For about four years or so
I feel old i feel young
A pink heart in a cage of bones
If life is gonna hit you in the mouth
You might as well say what you're gonna say
There's not point in concealing
If were all gonna be bleeding by the morning
By the morning
My home and my places
Are all filled with unfamiliar faces
And I'm drunk on a mix of
Heartbreak and minimum wages
Cause everything sucks and everything changes
Besides the sun and the silver moon's phases
Everything sucks and everything changes
Besides the feeling of love thats been wasted
If life is gonna hit you in the mouth
You might as well say what you're gonna say
There's not point in concealing
If we're all gonna be bleeding by the morning
By the morning
We are all awoken by the morning
We are all awoken by the morning
We are all awoken by the morning
We are all awoken by the morning
By the morning
By the morning
And if life is gonna steal you in the night
You might as well dream next to who you like
There no point in concealing if we're all gonna be leaving
By the morning
