well hell / i think i'm sinking back in again / to the box i keep in my head / filled with matches and paper clips / and well hell / i guess that don't really warrant a reply / coffee's drippin while i get high / and just keep dancing round the time / when i say that i need you / when i'm dreaming of things you don't like / don't worry babe, i'm just losing my mind / for no good reason i could ever write / well hell / i think i ran that damn circle again / i think i'm losing another friend / without knowing what it meant / and well hell / you really fucked it up, didn't you / chasing people that hide from you / cause you can't sit still anymore / there's no laying out in open fields to find the meaning / i'm letting smoke steep in my lungs, wonder why i'm barely breathing / i'm just laying down mistakes, i see the ones i've yet to make / but i'll be fine, you know i'm right

went for a walk yesterday / i was looking for some shelter in the rain / but then i saw where you are / yeah you're standing in the corner in the dark / and if i keep on walking / keep on talking / i know the days will go by / maybe the shit you're offering / could use more often / i know i'm just chasing a high / but i'm leaning into it anyway / there's nothing that you can say / that would make me change my mind / it feels something like a holiday / why don't you lean into me? / i could help you pass the time / but then you called me by name / rubbed some salt around the cup and pulled me in for a drink / now i'm face down in the bathroom sink / and i'm losing connection with the convictions i keep / but i just keep on walking / keep on talking / i swear i'm losing my mind / i know the shit you're offering / don't come around often / i know i'm just trying to get by / and i know what they all will say to me / get out while you're in one piece / that woman will swallow you alive / oh! i'm tripping over the words you say / but i need to hear them just the same / don't think you could get my balance right if you tried

what do you do when you know someone's holding on to you? / i know i'm holding onto / oh i know i'm holding on too / so i keep it simple, think of streetscapes, sketch the afternoon / a place we've never been to / from a place we've never been to / we blew away / dead skin falls off my face / some pictures i've erased / now i'm choking on words i was speaking yesterday / the contagious things we say / things i thought would dissipate / get to the point and turn the page / coming down in utrecht blue, i know you feel it too / when it's quiet and a full moon / cities brighter than the full moon / spend my allotted time in constant days / us just running from our pain / maybe staying for the same / but i was just running for the train / through empty streets all in my brain / at 5 am with you in frame / i can see it on your face / you'll forget about the taste / that had made us so ambivalent to yesterday / caught up in a chase / follow memories in place / that will take us back to that day, to those days / get to the point and just turn the page / i'm coming down in blue / i want to come down with you / won't you come down with me too?

lights overhead / as she pulls one from above us to light her cigarette / been seeing red / but she tells me to relax, take a step back, just forget / but everyone's asleep / and it's just you and me / decode confusion in the dark / i'll come of age / but with the routing of this routine, wind up living life in grey / are you scared you'll fade? / why do we wrap ourselves in worries, carry our mistakes in weight? / she takes another drag / on a bench in montparnasse / the first time i don't feel so alone / and it shows / cause i've been scattering these pieces across cities i don't know / maybe they'll grow / but i don't think i can take that part of me home / all this time working for nothing / think i'll save it for something? / or just brew in emotion / let the signs defined keep my body in motion / it's a life i have chosen / let it run me straight into the ground
