stop and think of that

If you name your city and i name mine
you can say her name and i'll guess the time,
If i was alone and you were gone,
If i was missing you and you were passed out cold,
We both know there's pain when there isn't much wine...
We both know i was always way out of line.

If you ask me to tell you what it felt like,
I'd tell you about the times i slept on my own floor,
The times i didn't have the strenght to cry,
The times i sat by your backdoor,
I'd leave alone the worse, even though i could do better,
I skipped all the times when i was held by strangers.

If you think i can't see you're leaving again
Making me a worse habit than i was to begin with,
If you think that you know me so well,
well cheers to you and to another farewell

It's been mistake after mistake,
and we've been sitting here with words we put in each others mouth,
It's been a while since I've felt safe
so don't tell me our fate is in my hands now-

can't you be constant
can't you understand
can't you be patient
Can't you be my friend

I have the heart to hang in there,
Do you have the strenght to keep it there
I have my heart hanging right here
But it's not right, but you're not here.

L.B

you wish you could tell them that you can still feel the wind
The same one they feel on that fall evening,
That the way you left town was a mistake,
That the day he took you happened on the wrong street, on the wrong date-
The best times of your life are on repeat in your head,
Everything could be perfect here, but it's just not the same
The most beautiful days all on repeat in your head
But when the feeling's gone, someone tell me what's left?
What's left to believe in when you can't be saved?
What's left to believe in when he stole your faith?

tales

I ran through a field of desperation,
Love won't save me and love won't save you,
It's so beautiful when you stay,
Just so wonderful to hear you say
You'll be here forever
But this is not a world you want to live in,
There are words you don't want to hear, pains you don't want to feel
And If our lives are stories to tell,
Then tell me mine with you gone,
If our lies are stories to tell,
Then tell me you didn't know i'd stop believing with you gone
Those tales about how you'd stay, left me so alone
Those tales about how you'd stay left me so alone.

Too much pride and not enough curiousity,
Turns out to be an equation that doesn't go too well tonight,
doesn't work too well with me,
I sink into lies that don't even make sense,
Does he make you feel low to know he did the exact same mistake?
His name and yours together,
His name and yours in the same sentence,
Oh him and i together,
Those lies make a little bit more sense.
The begging, the crying, i've heard it all before,
I've heard it all before from him

Because you left so i'm leaving you
I know you imagine that i'm missing you
You left so i'm leaving you
You can imagine that i'm missing you

walk downtown

it's a beautiful day so why do i feel like i'm losing,
i could be content and satisfied
oh i could be just mesmerized,
mesmerized by you today
i meant to tell you how quiet it is,
how awfully quiet life is without our voices,
When you tell me what to do and i yell right back at you,
When you're walking backwards just so i can face you.
The walk downtown brings me to two ways,
and i get lost from there...
I think one day we'll stop and stare,
Wonder how i got from here to there,
Wonder how we got from here to there
