Not Everyone Heals As Fast As You

five months on flawless highs,

your halo kept me warm at night.

I found your footsteps outlined in the snow.

and i know the shirt you kept

is buried deep beneath your mattress.

just pretend i'm a bird outside your window.

I'll be another ghost

who floats around and haunts your room,

I'll just wait for you to fall asleep.

Will you dream of winter nights?

i try to relate our darting eyes

but I could never be everything you wanted.

i swallowed a shooting star

and delivered you my favorite heart (and now all i've got is)

a summer spent forgetting wedding rings.

your eyes are like an ocean...

i was living off our pretty moments. (thinking how lucky i was, thinking...)

"i know a thousand guys who would kill to be me."

five months of rain and steam,

sometimes we'd just say anything.

for someone so hot you get so cold.

i never meant to be so boring

but holding you was everything

i tried so hard to keep you close.

does he kiss your cheeks like me?

or keep quiet when you fall asleep

and smile knowing he makes you feel safe?

i know he makes you laugh and twist

but remember i did it best

and meant it the most.

someone will tell me where you've been.

won't you just tell me?
