Headstones & vampires
There's still some time, there's still some light
You're slipping & I'm tongue-tied
"Pull me close, it's getting cold"
When you're shining like a moonstone
I can't even move
Does your heart sing when we're alone
What am I to you
Angels & gaslight
Steps we've crossed, are we lost
Brothels & woodfires
Touch your side to make you smile
When you're shining like a moonstone
I can't even move
Does your heart sing when we're alone
What am I to you
Are you sinking like a feeling
The ice is breaking through
Are you laughing when I'm reeling
What am I to you

Stranded on the road again
Abandoned by a life you lived
The bottom of the wall again
I'll meet you at the five & ten
Is there something that you have to lose
There are choices that you have to choose
If you're ever gonna make a move
The decision's always up to you
I can hold your hand if you want
You can put your arm inside my arm
I know you don't need anything
But I'll meet you at the corner store
When you wear your beauty like a bruise
There's freedom when you're forced to choose
If you're ever gonna make a move
The decision's always up to you

Lost all my money spent all my time on people who never respected mine
And all the stupid things I thought would matter but they never did
Empty rooms & burning cars, broken dreams & crowded bars
But if we can trace our scars maybe we could find our hearts
People who give me the least always ask the most of me
It hurts even when you expect to be the one they all forget
Wooden glasses, concrete stars, rusted hopes & broken parts
Trace the tattoos on your arms
Maybe I could reach your heart

Rainbow wings that never fly
Painted on a concrete sky
If your love for them should die
Where does that leave you & I
What is it you’re looking for
Mountainsides & unicorns
All you deserve & nothing more
A moment to forget my shame
Missing limbs & phantom pain
Wishes that you can’t explain
A different face, another name
What is it you’re looking for
Perfect love & unicorns
All you deserve & nothing more

Just want to make you laugh
Just want to hear you sing
If you release the past
You can begin again
I know I talk too much
I'm always up too late
Just want to see you again
I can hardly wait
I don't mean to sound like a creep but the city is cold & lonely when it wants to be
I dreamed about you again last night

Staring up at the ceiling of your room
No one ever thinks of you
No one can recall your name
Bought new pants, bought new shoes
But nobody ever looks at you
Nobody recalls your face
Maybe if you told the truth
Because it was the right thing to do
You would be able to face yourself in sleep
