You’ve got eyes as big as the moon Gouge em out with a rusted spoon Bleeding hearts get bruised By the stones you throw In your glass home I want “I love you” to mean More than three empty words I want forever to be Something I can hold In my arms Ooooooh Oooohooohoohohoooh Keep your heart concealed where I can’t find I’ll lead you to oblivion with my sweet lies I know it hurts right now But someday you’ll thank me When you don’t know the pain I know C: Can I see forever When I look into your eyes Or is it just an answer To a question I didn’t ask But can you surrender Your forever to me? Do you have forever to wait? Laughter is the voice of the soul Can you be soulmates with someone who doesn’t have a soul I don’t know

You’re sleeping upstairs with your girlfriend I’m waiting for a cab to take me home I’m sitting on your stairs I won’t wake your roomates Passed out on the floor I’m leaving here as alone As I came tonight Your boyfriend seems so great He’ll wait with you all night Sitting there alone By your bedside So I’ll take another drink There’s beer pong in the sink With your high school class ring Don’t pressure me I won’t get stoned tonight I can’t say we’re not friends That’s what’s in my head So I’ll just sing it instead I can’t stand you sober Only in small doses Don’t read too deep into a party song

I know we havent talked in a while But I wanna know how you are How was your trip to orlando I really want to catch up soon I wish I was anybody else In a town where no one knows my name I wanna dye my hair a different color But i’ll still be the same to me You dont want to admit that you miss me I stopped thinking about you Im gonna go away indefinitely I dont want to think about you I want you to be mine But that’s too much to ask Cuz you’ve got other men in your life And i can never ever ever ever ever be good enough Maybe if I come back in a year or two I can find myself in love with you again You keep me here (trapped forever) In the cage (of your memory) That’s how you want (to remember me) I’m yours, (trapped forever) trapped forever

i obsess over everything we used to do cant even walk through the mall without thinking about you (i aint thinkin bout you) ill start this story very still we spent this winter at sawgrass mills we made out in parked cars we dont know where we are where we are Don’t call me sweet don’t call me cute at all Don’t call me when you’re at the mall You’d only break my heart So just don’t call me at all My heart’s a mosaic lying on the floor I tell myself that I’m over you, gluing back the pieces But i’m still lying awake at night And i’m just to sober to give you another try when the lows are so steep everything always turns to gold when your heart’s not mine to keep ill resign to live with ghosts whose keeping you close? do they keep you warm? is this everything you wanted american gothic

Loading up the car to head up through the east coast Back to my cold apartment Where i feel afraid the most I’m driving here alone With a ghost in the passenger seat Wishing you were there And thinking of all the things we wanted to be Can you pinpoint the second to when my heart rips in two Cause I am feeling like i am an ocean away from you Im lying here awake At three am again can you remember ultramarine embers? Driving up to Tallahassee Is never as quick as I want it to be Getting on without you Was never as fast as I thought it could be Shades of blue Tint my mind as im driving through Fade into you Is just three words that never felt more hollow C: I wish you could love me The way you love to talk about yourself a lot Im so sorry (i aint sorry) I hope he keeps you warm where I could not So I’ll leave here Staring blankly at the rearview mirror You’re still in florida And im driving back to queens And i will be happy there Or at least i wanna be like everything bad, you too will pass

about

winter 2015. i met you then. you had my entire heart, and i had two minutes of your attention. this record signifies an ability to move past someone, whether it's a lover or a friend or something in between.

thanks to nina, matt, orin, jelins, jen, and everyone at TBQ for letting me perform these songs.
