understatements

I hate you and you're the only one I hate,
And when you kiss them, I hope you feel your broken fate,
Because I still have flowers in my hair,
And my freedom's all over my face
Well you still hold flowers in your hand,
But you're at the wrong address, at the old place,
See when you put the cards down, there's a drink you can still taste,
I hate you and you're the only one I hate,
And this city doesn't recognize your name,
Because I made it mine, I made it mine with ink and sand,
from burning your ship down, I made it mine with loves and friends.
You're swimming to me,
But the bones you broke for someone else than me,
Remind you the shore is far ahead,
The shore is far ahead
I hate you and you're the only one I hate.

swinging heart

Take it away
Away from me
If it's all falling apart,
I'm to blame for my swinging heart
They say she's gone again, back to the start.
When you send me your northen winds
Blowing away the good i feel from the bad i've seen
You bring me back to bed
Because you know they can't-
Call your favorite feeling their beautiful thing,
Let me sleep with him as long as i'm sleeping.
I'm keeping us apart,
They all blame it on my swinging heart,
I'm on a train to you,
They say she's home, they say she's back.

Get closer and try to sell me out,
Give me away, satisfy your lovers' doubts,
Careful now, she's staring but you're hypnotized
It's too late now, i can see it in your tired eyes.
When the stars align, this town's burning
Run fast with the hearts you stole
You will never be my king,
I know these streets by heart,
I own these walls like i own your name and i'm letting you win.

no way you possibly could

Soon enough you're out of luck and out of love,
Left them to take care of yourself,
We could be worse, but we're never at our best,
They don't really know when to let you rest,
They don't really know how to hold your face-
Maybe these streets are holding you down,
A little bit wiser here, they all know you can both be insane,
Maybe it's time you change your name again,
Because you start seeing yourself painting a room with him,
And it's never been a good sign,
When you start picturing
Oh when you start picturing
August on the deck
Your hands on my back
And mine on your neck,
Out of control again

Are you lost on the top of your mountain?
The wind pushing directions far away from where i'm standing,
And you forgot the advices your loved ones gave you,
Before you left the person you used to be
God you used to be something to see
You used to be something to see-
So take in the view
Chase the thought of me and you
Through the forest of what you try your hardest to forget,
Under your consciousness and far above

it's far behind you my love

you may turn me back into a child
But i hold my own
When you walk through that door
I hold my own
There are times i feel like this is right
There are times i feel like this is real
They are quick and hopeless-
but when they come around, they hit me hard in the face.

Anybody will help her see further,
than the balcony where her head is spinning
Breathing the air of a hometown she's already started hating
She's already starting, starting, starting.
But you know what to do, when your hands are on her
Falling off your high horses,
Taking off your layers
Like you clean your messes
Walking by the shore, but stranger you've never been to these places.

Because you failed her, over and over,
over
But the honest trust is that does not matter,
matter much, much to her
