black as the night as the night is your voice and red as the patterns on dresses is your voice all these things I’ve come to like and you are more than the sum of the sides we make up more don’t lose me this is right where I said I would be don’t lose me please this is right where I said we should meet black adds to black you combine all your darks red is to show up the white just like your scarf take away add and divide it’s all the same chop you in peices and I’ll build you back again black as the night as the night is your voice and red as the patterns on dresses is your voice

you could do without the heartache when you close your eyes you can’t imagine nothing that could take you by surprise and over the mountains you would run and you would climb just to find me when I’m sleeping and then bus it to real life some like scars do you do you check your arms for ones that are new and everytime I’ve cut you it was not intentional but it’s my mark on you you should keep your self smiling and think of things that keep you safe and warm and mine and then tie it up with string there’s only hills not mountains that rise up inbetween and they cannot surrmount us oh no can’t even compete I like scars yes I do I check my arms for ones that are new and everytime I’ve cut you it was not intentional but it’s my mark on you they should see us together they’d think it was a fight we compete with jokes and stories, notes and letters and keep it contained inside a smile that says ‘it’s ok it’s forever’ some friendships never die so we cut and hit and push and shove and then we know it’s only ‘cause we know why we like scars yes we do we check our arms for ones that are new and everytime I’ve cut you it was not intentional but it’s my mark on you

invite you 03:01
I invite you but you never come you’re so full up but you’re still minus one I aint saying I’m here for long the train goes passing passing on you can’t see past your walls that are safe and I guess I’m pissed off at friends you’ve made and I know it’s not my place to sing to you I invite you but you never show you’re not sure whether I’m stubbord or slow maybe I’m a good bit of both but less than you I invite you but maybe you can’t tell and all this humour it serves me too well I hope it becomes my place to sing to you

take me weary body and lay it by your side all the comfort I need is your hand and candle light sometimes I'm not sure if we're really alive the fire and the hands and the bar and the way they combine take my heavy heartedness and make it go away give me all your worries dear and let me ease that pain sometimes I'm not sure if I'm meant to be mine maybe I am really yours and I was all time sometimes I'm not sure if we'll ever die I've got so stubborn and cruel against saying goodbye oh my love I don't know I'm not sure where we will go I've spent my pay on stubborn shoes I've spend my time on learning to be cruel to keep my mind from growing weak so the cruelty of time won't move my feet but you don't move me I don't think I'll die all my stubborn and cruel is against saying goodbye
