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

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

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
