nothing, really

i know i'm a know it all
so why don't i get you at all
nothing's broken i can see that
but this ache won't go away
i liked that you asked me for pictures
and i liked how we looked together
liked that i made you feel better
for a minute anyway
we're fading but you've left your mark already
i was so steady before you let me fall
now we're just touching through a screen door
and i guess that's okay
but nothing's really changed
nothing's broken but there's distance
funny, now i know the difference
feeling dizzy, do you miss me
the way i need you to?
stuck carrying around some kind of awful
i'm soaking in my blues
i can't fight it, i try crying
'cause nothing feels the same
and i think that's a shame

i can’t wait to see ladybugs inside again
my hips freeze in the cold
and you got a nose bleed while braiding my hair
it made me feel like we’re not quite so old
lips stained with turmeric
from the corner store down the street
walked through the snow, long way to go
just to make some golden milk tea
but i won’t tell you when i see ladybugs inside again
cause you wouldn’t want to know
and you won’t tell me to quiet down when i’m too loud
cause we both know how that goes
we screamed when the doorbell rang
after we watched horror movies all day
it was a bit too close to midnight
but really it was always okay
really it was always okay
okay

pretty best friend

i've seen a man's eyes pop out of his head
if you think that only happens in cartoons you'd be dead
you'd be dead wrong
i wonder why nobody looks at me that way
well in college i learned how to control a room - it was a side effect, not a class
now nobody thinks i'm shy anymore and i pass
yeah i pass as confident
i don't want people to look at me that way
'cause there are a million people that look like me
but nobody looks like her
no. no one looks like her
on your birthday we got drunk and rode into the city
where a man in a truck, some stupid little punk
called you pretty
i wonder who do they even think they are
'cause there are a million people who look like me
but nobody looks like her
and there are a million people that think that way
but nobody thinks like us
and there are a million people who'll see what i mean
when they see my pretty best friend standing next to me
when they see her next to me

a little bit mine

got me hooked on kissing around corners
making eyes across the room
i could say that i remember how it happened at first
but I don't really have a clue
got me talking about you like there's no tomorrow
got me laughing in the dark
got me wrapped around every little moment with you,
feeling every place you left your mark
found a knot in the back of my hair
from the last time your hands were there
got all dolled up to ask if you need help breaking my heart
and you did
of course you did
somehow you still don't make me feel like i'm too much
when i don't know how to be less
and anyone can tell just looking at us that for me it's
almost too easy too admit
that i kind of miss the time
when you were a little bit mine
and i know in that moment you didn't mean to break my heart
but you did
of course you did
and you could never hurt to look at
but i feel it when you leave
oh you could never hurt to look at
but i hate it when you leave
and we don't talk about what happened in the time
from your birthday to mine
we barely even started, wasn't ready to let go
but i did
of course i did
of course i did

tucked away

at the end of the line
i'll remember my roots
and the time i spent watering them
getting mud on the soles of my boots
and at the end of the line
i'll remember yours too
like a tree, my memories grow 'round
the time that i spend with you
and you hate the way the fitted sheet just won't stay
but honey, that won't matter in the dirt where we lay
and i know you don't like to think that way
so i'll keep it all tucked away
darling i can't decide
where i want to be left
watching here from the grass near the road
where you and i first met
or marked with a stone
above the estuary
looking over the great blue expanse,
caught up in that salty breeze
will you hate the way that i sleep all day?
as i become part of that dirt where we lay
'cause you know i can't wait to feel that way
but i need a second here so i'll wait
at the end of the line
i'll be covered with roots
feeling raindrops through my fingertips
under somebody else's boots
and i'll love the way that we sleep all day
impressions wearing thin in the dirt where we lay
but you'll be right there watching frame by frame
and i'll feel safe
tucked away
