I'm tripping up, stumbling on the pavement.
Slowly giving up on myself just like my friends did.
I miss the younger days before our hearts decayed,
No one had a place or a valued name.
No one has a place.
Look for a familiar face in the crowd.
We're all just lost stars floating around in the sky,
Living but barely alive.
Not scared to die, but frightened at the passing of time and
Being lost for the whole ride.
And I know it'll be alright.
And as I sit here listening to Basement,
I wonder how I'll ever find a replacement for your golden eyes
They could battle any sunrise.
And I'm laying here, speakers blasting Moose Blood,
Regretting how I ever learned to run from every problem that arose
And every open window
You were smoke in my lungs, but now the fire is done
And I'm gone
And so are you
I'm tripping up, stumbling on the pavement.
Slowly giving up on myself just like you did.

Grow up and grow apart,
I was a burden on your heart.
This is a shot in the dark but,
I've already gotten so far.
Hands and thoughts barely steady.
Your favorite birthday cake's confetti.
This is a solo celebration in which the loner's inebriated.
And I needed you to stay.
Can I say what's on my mind?
Would you hear me out this time?
We could go for a quick drive
Leave this town behind.
You don't need those walls up with me.
Maybe one day you'll see clearly;
Not everyone will leave.
And it's crazy to think, after all this time,
I'd jump if you told me to.
My heart still pounds in my throat in a crowded room.
But, I'm trying to be better.
You were my light in the cloudy weather.
I've got houses full of skeletons and bones to pick with all of them.
And I needed you to stay.
Can I say what's on my mind?
Would you hear me out this time?
We could go for a quick drive
Leave this town behind.
Kinda like you left me, like a ship stuck at sea.
Do these memories replay in your sleep,
or am I just in too deep?
You found me sitting in the hall,
Miles away, back against the wall,
I couldn't tear my eyes from the floor and you asked me what I was upset for.
What are you upset for?
So here's what's on my mind;
There's no way to make this right.
Our empty hands will never intertwine.
You're not the moon in my night.
You're not the muse of my life.
