Lovedreams 03:40
I woke up in the dark Having dreamt I was in pursuit Piling on the circular talk Just like I used to do I suppose this is serious love The kind that just won't be snuffed The kind of love that never dies The sort of stuff that ruins lives Burn the love dreams Burn 'em for safekeeping Save the love dreams Save 'em on the garbage heap If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, you'd've let on by now Did you forget what you said? Did I misinterpret it? Vague and softspoken Over AIM Twenty-odd years ago Feels like that and several lifetimes more You said, "I'm sorry, but You are so beautiful" Burn the love dreams Burn 'em for safekeeping Fill the love dreams Fill 'em while you’re leaving If you loved me, you'd be home by now If you lived here, you’d’ve shown by now Did you forsake your vow? Did I misinterpret it somehow? That delicious little hiccup in Space-time's continuin' You were six-fucking-teen Maybe it didn't mean anything Maybe it was just one of those things Whatever that means If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, I guess I'd know by now Burn the love dreams Burn 'em for safekeeping Save the love dreams Save 'em on the garbage heap If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, you'd've let on by now

I don't want to feel this So why'd I acknowledge it Emotion swears it's gonna last But now I'm too smart for that I set it in motion Drew a falsifiable conclusion Sidled up to an illusion A clock watcher's work is never done I don't have to commit to caring about you You're gonna make me a fool if it's the first thing you do I don't have to continue to care when you're Technically a fictional character If you can't prove you're really there Then I don't have to commit to care, though you Taught me those card games And told me your secret middle name Remembering the way you taste Remembering the way I ached To forge a connection With a fellow human being Sunk the costs since I was diving in But then you used up all the oxygen I don't have to commit to caring about you You're gonna make me a fool if it's the first thing you do I don't have to continue to care when you're Not in my cinematic universe When at best you're not all there, I'm just Not down to keep your balls in the air and commit Commit to care It wasn't all in my head Darling, I've got witnesses And if it's all a game to you I'll just make up my own rules I can leave you off the album I can lock you in the vault I can strike you from the setlist Or simply tell the world it's all your fault

I don’t want to be the one when I could be good enough If given the room to grow, I could win you over I don’t mind if you don’t know about me right now or tomorrow Let it flow Let’s keep borrowing time Though they say it’s scarce, the shit’s everywhere It surprised me to get your text, said you were back making music That it had made you think of me and how was it all going Which was all it took to bring it flooding back, make it matter And wake me up to the beneficence of time What had seemed so scarce Shit’s everywhere It’s okay to follow dreams when they veer towards reality I still see a path to love Let's walk; we don't have to run We could wing it I could try to finally let you go, but why Now that I just scored all this time? Though they say it’s scarce, the shit’s everywhere

Ghosted by the person who seemed the least dead out of all them Now my haunts are mine, as is my house Wanna diversify, wanna branch out Wanna walk thru a wall like you Was it hard to do Ghosted by the person who was less transparent than the lot of them My heart's a hoarder, my soul's a shut-in I'm just a boarder, I'm just a burden I wanna walk out of my life Since you did, and you're always right Ghosted by the person who seemed the least dead out of all them Out of all them
