I couldn't get in to see my favorite band I'm sorry I don't have a fake ID on hand I'm not really into illegal stuff But you were there standing next to me and our hands were so close I could hardly breathe so I just played with your jacket sleeves and got drunk off the way you'd speak to me And I know I won't get through but if I leave this line I know I'll be leaving you too Oh Eli You're just me plus three and in this record store I'd spend eternity But now my feet are getting tired and you still see me as a child because you are so much older than me. You're in high school and high school girls dont fall in love with me but I fell in love with your tie dye tee and your freckles and the way you smiled with your teeth And I know I won't get through but if I leave this line I know I'll be leaving you too Oh Eli You're just me plus three and in this record store I'd spend eternity High school girls and concerts that you can't get into Brooklyn and New York City Why are 16 year old girls so pretty? I rounded the corner, didn't know what to do so wrap your hands around my waist 'cause I'd die for you. I press my head into your neck and see your face turn red as I pull back and see I'll sit with you as the sky gets dark over Central Park Wanted to say to you Oh Eli You're just me plus three and in this record store I'd spend eternity

Overreacting 02:03
tell me if i get annoying cuz i keep apologizing even though you dont care what i say and tell me if i start complaining or if i get aggravating or if i ruin a perfect day my room is full of champagne bottles avoiding love because youll get startled and i dont trust myself to be alone so dont wait on me im not just gonna go out and make a new friend because my bones are fragile i just wish i had new hands and the boardwalk is crumbling and we're both in the ocean and my feet sink me to the bottom and we're both like "oh shit!" my bedroom door locked for the summer all dimmed lights and closed up shutters and the entire world had no idea my mind is gone and this all feels fake so maybe thats why i can still make songs like highschool girls and four more years tell me if i start to sound erratic i sit watching tv static because the radio makes me cry cant bring myself to my bedroom drawer doesnt feel like a one night stand anymore and for the past few months your pictures gone untouched and in four years ill be so different you will have lost all your interest but im pathetic wont let us get a head of it now so dont wait on me all my clothes are unwearable the sight of your shirts is fucking unbearable and i made promises that i couldnt keep but yours were so much heavier and you got cold feet maybe my words meant nothing maybe my music was shit and maybe you felt this way for months before you let me have it and now i feel so foolish i just feel so isolated id never thought youd leave didnt think this was a game we were playing and once again im overreacting

All my notebooks are filled with your name I'm like a troubled author that's going insane We used to experience the deepest connection our bodies outlined in the adult section But now my house is dark and you can't stay here forever So when your days look just like the walls remember this day in the early fall. I'm uncomfortable with the thought of her and her hands tied into yours But you'll never understand and it leads me to my end and now it's tearing us apart at our cores. She's got rings on her fingers like the rings under my eyes These autumn leaves are a perfect tool for keeping her disguise. I'll admit I'm scared to lose you but then again you were never mine The aching in my chest is growing just like her widening eyes I crawled in the space between you and the wall but the truth is that night I got no sleep at all Because the whole night through all I could hear was her name How good it sounded with yours put me in excruciating pain But now the darkness is in my chest and you can't stay there forever So when your days are under my skin just lie with me until she lets you in I'm uncomfortable with the thought of her and her hands tied into yours But you'll never understand and it leads me to my end and now it's tearing us apart at our cores. She's got rings on her fingers like the rings under my eyes These autumn leaves are a perfect tool for keeping her disguise. I'll admit I'm scared to lose you but then again you were never mine The aching in my chest is growing just like her widening eyes

Queer 03:23
I'm staring at a face in the mirror but I can't see myself at all. The people around me they don't see that anything's wrong but I do. And that's enough to keep me up at night Our bodies are the same but our minds are parted She's got a jar in her room now wondering how this all started Well I was seven years old and no one else agreed but when I looked in the mirror I was ok with me But then my body was growing and so was my brain and I grew so uncomfortable my skin brought me pain I am nothing but the veins in my arms I am nothing but uncomfortable birthday cards I am something when she holds me as I'm crying As she kneels on the floor of the dressing room just to keep me from dying. I'm gonna be ok she promised She's gonna love me the same she promised I'm still me I promise She whispers to me I got it
