lyrics

We tried to leave by walking through each other, we got combined.
The bobby pin jumped ship from your hair into mine.
We'll stand on the corner, for a whole hour
It's about time that we found each other
Spin through space on Mother's Day.

If that's what I wrote down then that's what I recall.
A dream's a dream, three stories tall.
Stop singing about it, I don't have to pretend I care
What some bitch from you know where
Is doing coming over here.

So remember me just how I was
Recall how constant I could be
For now I'm filthy with distrust
I flicker inconsistently.

And if you're on the poster, then you're in the band
We're on the beach, we're eating sand.

This is the most to say that I've had for some time.
The richest I've been, finding dollars in my mind.
But what can I spend these words that I write on?
Songs for a boy, filtered through a siphon?
Melodies so thick you think you can bite them.

How many actors can see
through an act, and how many
Are singer-songwriters waiting
For something momentous, something
Delightful and ridiculous
And is there any more than this?
Watching your life on a flat screen
When you are only 17?

We tried to leave by walking through each other, we got combined.
The bobby pin jumped ship from your hair into mine.
Let's make a new project, better than objects,
I'll bring the color, you bring the logic
Let's not waste another day.

They'll remember me just how I am
Recall how constant I could be
For now I'm flaky as a crust
And cherish inconsistency

And I don't want to be myself now
I only want to be you
That's why I try and kiss you all the time
It's why I try and bite you too
