This Is How You Fight

you say that you’re falling but I don’t believe you
‘cause you’ll only jump when you know you’ll land
oh you say that you’re hurting but I won’t relieve you
‘cause that thorn’s got sorrow that’ll run you down
and the dope’s run low, my pills have all fell
and you claim it’s your heaven, but this is my hell
you hang onto me like a bad memory
yet I’m sad to lend you the night
if this is your pain, then you never got me
this is how you fight
you say “don’t let it eat what’s inside you”
but you’ll never hold your hand to me
oh you say that you’re hiding but I can’t have you
‘cause your words like knives are a lullaby
and we both got that rhythm, we dance to this song
a masquerade of how we went wrong
you hang onto me like an old memory
can’t shake you into the night
if this is your pain, then you never got me
this is how you fight
you say that you’re falling but I don’t believe you
‘cause you’ll only jump when you know you’ll land

never been real good at writing happy songs
but I guess I’ll start with you
maybe I’ll just start out with a metaphor
it’s a sea of light, not blue
and I have never felt a love like this
a wordless string of feels
one, two, three
don’t they always start out counting?
I’ll throw in some seven chords
yeah, we’ll really make it into something
I don’t know why I babble when you look into my eyes
I don’t know how your corny jokes can always make me smile
oh I snort when I laugh
but I laugh out all the time with you, with you
when you’re not here, I eat cereal for dinner
‘cause it turns out you’re a real good cook
I win most of the games even ones I’m not very good at
but you steal my focus with this look
and I have never felt a love like this
can’t seem to make much sense
one, two, three
don’t they always start out counting?
I’ll throw in some seven chords
yeah, we’ll really make it into something
I don’t know how you catch me when I fall
I don’t know how I feel safe when I’m not at all
my heart is heavy, but I like the feeling this time with you, with you
and I have never felt a love like this
can’t seem to make much sense
one, two, three
don’t they always start out counting?
I’ll throw in some seven chords
yeah, we’ll really make it into something
I don’t know how you catch me when I fall
I don’t know how I feel safe when I’m not at all
my heart is heavy, but I like the feeling this time with you, with you

1000 Ways To Get Lost

new york, the sun is going down
will you sing a prayer for me?
will you sing it out loud?
new york, my old habits are back
your voices faint in the street
a siren melody
calling all the alarms
written on the sky of the empire
shadows weaving through
new york, of a thousand ways to get lost
I wanna get lost in you
new york, the sun is going down
setting underneath the skyline
blooming underground
new york, you know I can’t resist
I see your buildings shake the angels
and I just wanna drift away
calling all the alarms
written on the sky of the empire
shadows weaving through
new york, of a thousand ways to get lost
I wanna get lost in you

Sunlight In Your Eyes

we used to take our time, go dancing in the rain
run circles all around a wildflower’s name
but I was tugged and you jumped forward
in the same way someone falls
I’m gonna be the one to hold you in my arms
and tell you just enough how beautiful you are
darling you’re safe here, I’ll warm you through the night
till morning comes
take my hand in yours
you’re not alone anymore
and in the spaces where the stars refuse to shine
I see sunlight in your eyes
we used to color shapes and mark them in the sky
until your pain had turned it all to black and white
but I will be here whenever you decide
to come on down
take my hand in yours
you’re not alone anymore
and in the spaces where the stars refuse to shine
I see sunlight in your eyes
there’s a silence that awakes this
just hold onto me, you’ll stand
take my hand in yours
you’re not alone anymore
and in the spaces where the stars refuse to shine
I see sunlight in your eyes
