✦ lyrics
when you’re lonely
cradling your shadow, you phone me
thinking i’ve gone for the better
how does it feel to be loved?
how does it feel in her arms?
you lied & it hurt me
all too much
i’m taking it slow
when you need me
why do i make it so easy?
painting my world in your colors:
(olive, golden)
how does it feel to be wanted?
how does it feel to be flawless?
counting my days as they’re numbered
how does it feel to stay alive?
maybe this life’s all i got left
hope it goes right
i won’t lose sleep over things you don’t like about me
i’m copy-pasting notes to fill the silence, yeah
maybe it’s time (s*):
for me to move on
for peace & udon
is currency now
incurs me now
* square freaks out
wears me down
spirals in every direction
heat through the ore
the peach skies war-torn from peace and reform
decades of mourning
warm fleece in the morn
no place on earth feels like home without you
when you’re lonely
take a deep breath for me, slowly
let the sun fall through your shutters & splash on the sill
you’re so loved
you know we all love you so much
as long as i’ve known you
you’ve made me feel home
when you’re angry
part of me feels like you hate me
thought we’d make lunch for my mother
drive up the hill
but you lost it
i lined it all up but you crossed it
how could i call you my brother (smile!)
when nothing you said was real?
when you lose me
i hope you find solace in new things
grateful i went through the trouble of bringing you home
cuz i loved you
part of me feels like i’ve lost you
but you are forever my brother
and i’ll keep you close
just know you don’t go alone
