i'm learning how to live not chasing you
i'm starting on my search for something new
i'm feeling out the hole your absence grew
i'm finding what's worth living for after you

i'm learning to be
twenty three
learning my worth for a while
you're holding me out
you're running my feet
claiming my words for a while
you figure me down
there's blood on my teeth
i'd trade in my birth for a why

figure skates an iris
pair a perfect poor
rattle, rouse the rest
with you on the floor
reach out, reach out
turn around, turn around
you'll prob'ly find me by myself
'cause you were not the best of me
you were not the rest of me
anymore
reach out, reach out
turn around, turn around
you'll prob'ly find me by myself
'cause you were not the rest of me
you were not the best of me
anymore

when you're in your car
do you decide
which home to go home to?
i can't feel my fingers on the phone
i can't feel my fingers on the phone
when you're in your car
do you decide
which home to go home to?

there's a man on the corner
so i look at my phone
if we're gonna dance
i need it slow
shoes on the floor
linoleum tile
like you can push your high
in the right direction
just keep it inside
don't take it in the light
i'd do anything in the dark for you
my sole doesn't reach
as far as my toes
it stretches at the seams and shifts
twin sun, twin flowers
purple womb, yellow baby
(that stands for something)
just keep it inside
don't take it in the light
i'd do anything in the dark for you

scared of living
far from Carolina
on your doorstep
where i was laid open
are you proud of your family name?
i saw you running
to your father's car
just to scream into the dash
he died as well as he could have
we looked hard for the last in a long time

rustle up the neck
light beneath the door
rattle, rouse the rest
with you on the floor
don't let your like leave long
mitigate the outcry
pace around the room
try to make the outside
be the thing that moves
don't let your like leave long
this is the way that i wanted it.
your sister sleeping on the floor
of my apartment, i know
it is not what i'm owed,
it's where i am

the night (3:07)

tie up your tongue
fill your lungs
and flee them again
bide of your touch
still you're young
and free to an end
before you're done
morning comes
and steels your way
saying what we see in the shapes
sick of never seeing the same
acid eyes
as it dies
as did i
you can fact your own meaning
steal your eyes from the ceiling
fuck all your leaving in the night
saying what we see in the shapes
sick of never seeing the same
acid eyes
as it dies
as did i

i waited for you
i waited for you at your doorstep
i rang for you
i rang for you and you came
and you said you'd been waiting for me
you said i could ask you
anything i'd been thinking
i said 'why does it take everything
to be the man you always wanted me to be?'
