And I met her on the subway I was headed west to Brooklyn She lived in upper Manhattan And I said Hi I don’t know how many times Some ones told you this today But you quite nice And she said thanks But she gave me that smile Like that pity smile You get when you’ve just said something uncomfortable I’m sorry if I’ve intruded on your day Just making a point not to deny myself the finer things in life And she said so you read john green That was the start And we went out On the subway On our first date Going west to Brooklyn But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan And we went out On the subway On our first date I remember the way her lips felt when she kissed me She said she was gonna miss me And so I asked Hey would you like to see me next Saturday night And I thought maybe she wouldn’t recognize me but id never forget her face But there she was At the door In the coat from before And I saw her and I remembered the way I felt On out first date on the subway I was headed west to Brooklyn But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan And it was so late on the subway And she said if I could It would be so nice if I could see you later And she said if I could Could I get your number I’ll call you later Would you like to go out for dinner On the subway I was heading west to Brooklyn But she lived in an apartment in upper Manhattan And she boarded the 7 Even though we both know She wasn’t heading that way She wasn’t heading my way And I said hi do you wanna go outside And she said No I guess I’m fine here I remember her grey coat And every song I wrote I hope she liked them They were not that good And every word I wrote I wrote for you I hope you know I’m staying true And I’ve been out a few times With other “girls who liked guys” But its just not the same You’re just not the same Girl you were on the subway Just mess around, I guess See how you feel Come back to me in a few more years

The streets are all violent with murderous excitement The hunter and the prey are dancing everyday That waltzing jibberish where intake becomes outlandish I'm in a bad way every passing day "So where do we go from here" I'll say you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A. and I keep fixing every habit that I break Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on? for I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone Now I want to be buried in your backyard and when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart You're still in my heart A flash of dark interest steers us into this car crash uniting our remains, a fiery hurray ...ay ay ay Our hands touch unnoticed pressed up against melting glass You're calling out my name as the air escapes Oh "Where do we go from here" I'll say you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A. and I keep fixing every habit that I break Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on? For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone Now I want to be buried in your backyard and when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart Oww.. "Where do we go from here" I'll say you're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A. and I keep fixing every habit that I break Woo.. Oh Megan, is this thing of ours still on? For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone Now I want to be buried in your backyard and when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart When the flowers grow just know you're in my heart When the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart...

If I told you I didn’t think about it often, I would be lying. For you, my dear, plague me. Everyday and every night I feel the slow take over. I feel you rushing through my bloodstream and fueling my pulse. You are also present in the sinking of my heart and the nauseous pit in the bottom of my stomach. You are the empty radio static in my head, you are the nightmares that interrupt my brilliant, Technicolor dreams. You are the bitter cold that not even hot chocolate can thaw in the winter. You are in the shedding of the trees and the breaking of branches. You are the fog on my glasses and the early morning road. You are the loose strings on my sweaters and my pens devoid of ink. You are the bones in my wrist that will never sit correctly, my left eye that can produce tears. You are the calloused hands of a musician and a starter instrument that will no longer tune. Someday you will be framed and put on display as something I am proud to have overcome. You will be talked about as a product of the past. You will be written into college essays and talked about between doctors and patients. For now I will experience you in long, sleepless nights and words held back. You will be the calm before, the eye, and the hurricane due to pass. Occasionally I will stand on the shore to meet you and we’ll exchange secrets like old friends. Occasionally you will rip apart my roof and everything I hold close. Sometimes you will sneak in through my ear and rewire my brain. Sometimes I will be able to fix it; most times I will have to learn to adjust. Whatever the circumstance, we’ll belong to each other. I will remain in the quicksand you’ve trapped others beneath, and you will stay in one of folders I’ve tucked into the corner cabinets of my mind. You will cause earthquakes and I will bubble over like the volcano I’ve become. In a rare time of compromise we can live together in a comfortable little house I have fashioned and furnished for us in my head.

All I know is that you're so nice You're the nicest thing I've seen I wish that we could give it a go See if we could be something I wish I was your favourite girl I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style I wish you couldn't figure me out But you always wanna know what I was about I wish you'd hold my hand When I was upset I wish you'd never forget The look on my face when we first met I wish you had a favourite beauty spot That you loved secretly 'Cause it was on a hidden bit That nobody else could see Basically, I wish that you loved me I wish that you needed me I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, Actually I meant three I wish that without me your heart would break I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake I wish that without me you couldn't eat I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen And I wish that we could see if we could be something Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something

Cut my head open and a hole in my stomach, just for good measure. Scrape out my feelings and intestines and put them all into a trash bag. be very, very sure to empty my heart and my head. Clear the muscles and veins out of my arms and legs but save all the bones for later. Put on a good song and glue my bones into a mock-frightening sculpture of a human. tie a string through the skull and hang it in a tree on october 31st, it will blend in to look like plastic like all the rest. keep me in your closet until you bring out my bones and remember every line you etched into them and every scrape of memory and ache of joint that caused me to collapse and unfold for you. and burn the bones in your fire, for they'll never turn to ash. hopefully you can bring back my ghost, my soul, my spirit and i can finally haunt you like you haunt me.

I'm not waiting I'm just confused by the lives that we chose We've all got issues Tell me where do you go when you're hiding away Tell me where do you go when you lie to my face I'm not hiding I'm so far from home and that's where my heart is And I'm just trying to make it It's lonely out here in cold barren air Not a day goes by when I don't think of you Hard as I may try you just don't go away I'm not waiting anymore

Hanging by a thread Searching for the truth Taking a picture lasts longer than youth Flying on paper wings Swinging my life away, away, away CHORUS I said I loved you, I lied You said I gave up, I tried I said I'd love you till death But I never meant it Oh no, I never meant it Save me i'm drowning I'm spinning through life I've gone on auto-pilot But this plane has no wires Flying on paper wings always results in a crash A crash A crash CHORUS I said I loved you, I lied You said I gave up, I tried I said I'd love you till death But I never meant it Oh no, I never meant it x2

When 6 am strikes again It will leave you feeling worn and tired Left out to dry on an empty clothes rack With no intent Of anyone taking you back So when the morning comes and you wake up, once again, alone Just know you can’t live like this forever You can’t stay up until 5, Sometimes up all night, Doing absolutely nothing And still expecting to go somewhere in life
