lyrics

This is my last weekend
And I’ve barely started yet
It’s too hot for these feelings
And I haven’t got any blood left
‘Cause something feels punctured in my chest
Look at all these boxes
Look at what I need
What has all this cost us?
I stare at the rose on your ceiling
And breathe in your backyard
and gumtrees
I caught myself staring again
I don’t know what at
It’s nothing I can think of
How did we get to be like that?
And who gets the photo
of when we met?
Who went and said
“Let’s go through with it”?
Back to some sharehouse’s bullshit
What were the both of us thinking?
The truck’s coming Thursday
It’s real then
You can have the ballpoint
painting of the girl
She is yours and you can keep her
If I can have the photo of the
Red Dao boy
And on the wall
of the living room of my mind
I will keep you
To never be destroyed
I will make sure of it
I will make sure
Last night I fell to pieces
As I sat there on the step
I couldn’t breathe
I was spilling things
Under the shower as I wept
Just look at the state
where my life’s at
I never felt so heavy
And it’s crushing in my head
When I go will you kiss me?
My soul is full of holes
and made of lead
Can I stay there one last time
in your bed?
Maybe we could have one
last meal here
The green apple salad
down at Green Tea
Or is that just some
dumb fucked up idea?
We cannot keep our grip
on what is peeling
You can have the ballpoint
painting of the girl
She is yours and you can keep her
If I can have the photo of the
Red Dao boy
And on the wall
of the living room of my mind
I will keep you
To never be destroyed
Who went and said
“Let’s go through with it”?
Back to some sharehouse’s bullshit
What were the both of us thinking?
The truck’s coming Thursday
It’s real then
