we fell in and out of love so easily
repeated letters and phrases, over and over again
though I did, I really did mean it in the end
I recognize the song in your headphones, in your heart
you look lost and I feel that stretch
between seriousness and playing it off as some fun
and my mediocrity shines through like no other
like crystals set in gates, like china trapped in glass
and really, my skin is disgusting, I want to unzip myself
and walk some great distance for you
I stay away from the specifics, but I want someone to hold my hand and mean it
oh can't you stop me from thinking so much?
