Should've Been A Wave

Simulate me down
I wanna be a single line
Plastic caps and raging whites
not unlike your salty eyes
I should’ve been a wave
Swallow all my closest friends
but I’ll never be your side bitch
Find a pattern in the wind direction
Regulate me with a dose of mother’s medicine
I should’ve been a wave
They never could’ve caught me that way
slipping in the wake
I should’ve been a wave
or maybe just a code line
Enter me and drown
enter me and flatten me out

Teddy’s freaking out again
He really doesn’t understand
I know I was his only friend, I know
We were meant to be a team
but who knew he could be that mean?
I’m sorry mom, I can’t explain
I loved him more than me
and I do
Such a friend wasn’t good to me
I couldn’t see
I thought I knew Teddy well
but she knew him when they were 12
He told me he still needed me, I know
Go pretend you never loved me
Go forget to think of me
You’re not allowed to treat me like that
not allowed to leave me like that
but you did
you’re no good
I loved you so I couldn’t know
I don’t care if you were rotten
I stuck it through
You promised more
Teddy’s in my mouth but then
I’m better off without
but we had made a life together
you were my best friend

Omaha

Oh my god
Here I am
searching for the Wild West
Omaha
From the farthest star,
settled here
children conquering
Holy respite
at some great expense
Something happened to the final frontier
Omaha
You were never mine
taken like a life
Twilight airplanes
from my windowsill
I am wondering

Had I Known
04:28

And had I known,
would I have wanted
to stay the way it was?
Gone away
I thought I knew
where it goes
Gone away
I thought I knew
I tried staying out, but it doesn’t work like that
I tried wanting him, but I didn’t want him that much
I tried making my parents proud
I tried buying a new pack
I tried walking home alone just to feel afraid
I tried missing you just to feel like nothing again
I tried going back to all those old places
I tried going back to all those old habits
I tried driving late at night
I tried mixing pills and alcohol
I tried doing this to myself
I tried not telling anyone at all
but it doesn’t work that way

Some kind of way tonight
I try hard to drive without the lights
I know how it goes
been down that road a hundred times
I know I’m not the one who’s gonna make it right again
so I turn my headlights down
And I’m not scared of missing you
because I miss me everyday
We know I am not the one
who’s gonna make it all okay
My heart’s all ugly bone
I gotta shed this phase I’m in
You say I am not the one
but I killed that deer,
I did

Make Me Proud
05:09
|

|
Weak-willed
but I’m not weak
Get scared
and I can’t eat
I tried
but I can’t sleep
No one’s gonna hurt you
doing what you’re meant to,
and it’s not hard to be what you’re born to be
Not a lot of leeway
not a lot of free space,
so take what’s yours if you can make it yours
And make me proud again
Make me proud
I’m the voiceless screaming out
Maybe if I wait up things will change
and I won’t have to fight myself
in cards and stars and what they see when they look at me
‘Cause no one’s gonna hurt you if you bend
but I don’t want to be anything for them
and if it’s not hard then why is it so hard for me?
Someone make me proud again
Someone make me proud
I’m the voiceless screaming out

It's Okay To Run
02:34

And I’ve gotta get out of here
sometime, or nothing
And I’ve gotta get out
So I’ve gotta get out tonight
before it falls apart again
and I don’t know how

Taxi Light

Julian
my body wants an out
so I crawl across the snowflakes on your bed
Julian’s the one for me
He hurts me where no one can see
I clean my bruises carefully
wash myself, I’m so pretty
I never felt a kiss like this
on the staircase, 1 a.m.
My friend says my taxi lights are all lit up
cut through the night
Illuminate his violent eyes
so I can watch him crawl inside
but I’ll be good tonight
I’ll be quiet
with eyelashes and fingertips
I guess I saw through it
Something I can purify alone
I’m different than those other girls
The perfect ones who crown his world
I think he’d like to watch me cry
Instead he laughs and says goodnight
I never felt a hit like this
You remind I asked for it
It’s true I’m not a little kid
I could’ve left
I could’ve quit
