Your best friend says everything for you
I'm not fluent with my hands
You don't hear a word I say
But I know you understand
And you say so much without saying a thing at all
And you say so much without saying a thing at all
Tell me what it's like at Yamaku
Tell me just what happened to you
My weak heart cost me all my friends and gave me sleepless nights in a hospital bed
I tilt my head back, swallow my curse
It doesn't make me okay, just a little less worse
That's when I saw you in front of me
That's when I saw you, Shizune
You've got me stranded in a place I don't recognize
My downfall was cleverly strategized
I'm falling down
I'm falling in love, I think
I can taste the deviance on your lips
You stole my heart in this game of Risk
You can drag me all around this place
Anything for that smile on your face
I wanna sign out my feelings in the stars
I wanna feel you safe inside my arms
That's when I saw you in front of me
That's when I saw you, Shizune.

Track star, my heart gives out when I'm with you
Or maybe it's because I'm running with you
Track star, you're running circles round my head
And playing hockey with my tonsils in my bed
But there's nothing else I'd rather do instead
We are scientists in the way we're trying to figure each other out
But it's hard when you won't let me in on anything
You can't keep running from your problems
Physically or mentally
They're gonna catch up eventually
Woo!!
Track star, you dress me up as a doctor just for fun
But your friends with their big grins know you better than anyone
Quick with advice, but you can never see their eyes
Step back and figure yourself out before you start worrying about my health
Force a smile as I walk down the hall
I don't wanna talk to your mom
I used to have dreams of falling off the roof on a drunken night
But that's where you kissed me for the first time
Now I don't dream about anything but you anymore
It's hard not to say something wrong
This could be over at any minute
I'll find the real you in frequently asked questions
You set the pace, I don't know if I can keep it
The only time we're not racing is when we're sleeping
If you want me to stay, I guess I'll stay
Anniversary of a tragic day
Track star, I don't think I'm cut out for this
But it's nothing a little time on my feet won't fix
You stand so tall and so goddamn proud
But how do you stand without legs?

Beautiful flower child, I will shield you from the dark
Can you face your fears and stay with me?
Show me what it's like to reclaim your life.

Scotland

When you go off to Scotland, you'll strip me of serotonin
Laying on the floor, going through the motions
I know it's better for you to be there with your family
And yeah, I'm so selfish to say I need you with me
I don't know, I don't know what to do
Cause I think I'm fucking losing you
Once a week, once a week we'll call and talk
I'll complain, I'll complain about everything
How I know you'll find love with another man
Go ahead, go ahead and take his hand
Can't you see how this is ruining me?
When I see planes fly by
I think about us
And needing you in my life
I just need you here
I'll drown my pain with kegs of beer
I hate Scotland, dear
BREAK!
I hate Scotland
I hate Scotland
I hate Scotland
I hate Scotland
I hate Scotland
I hate Scotland
When I see planes fly by
I think about us
And needing you in my life
I don't think my heart will heal
Drinking more so I don't feel
I hate Scotland, dear.

Somewhere Elsewhere

I woke up to fireworks on festival night
They were lighting up the night sky
I wanted to capture the moment, do something to remember
But you said, 'Let's sleep a while longer'
I know nothing lasts forever
But I feel like we just might
You make me feel alive
I hope you never see the pictures I drew of you
I just don't have the hand at it like you do
Disproportionate portraits
I did them in pen so this could be permanent
Can you teach me just how you do it?
You are an artist
I am nothing
But you are everything to me
We could sit like this forever
Discussing how hard it is to be a person
I wanna be more like you
Indifferent, yet passionate
I want to know just what you're thinking
We smoked cigarettes on your studio floor
If something kills me, I'd rather it be cancer than this distance that's growing between us
Oh, it's thicker than the tendrils we blow towards the ceiling
You tell me you're sinking
I can join you underwater
You are an artist
I am nothing
But you are everything
You are an artist
I am nothing
But you are everything to me
You said the best thing about you is how messed up I am
The best thing about you is everything
I cast out the hollow person I was before because of you
Thank you, Rin, for everything.

Watching Clocks

Dear old friend,
I know the cul-de-sac you live in like the back of my hand
It's just the way there that slips me up
I need some directions
Do you remember me?
Cause I could never forget you
And I don't wanna feel alone when we're in the same room
When her friends meet her
It's standard procedure that she'll leave me for them
And it's fine, I get it
I'm just a replacement
I feel it again and again
I spend all day watching clocks until I get to see you again
And it's okay if we don't talk
I'm so used to the awkward silence
And I'll keep the things you gave me
Cause they still smell like your house
But I could never tell your family
That you're someone I write about
But I'm sure they'd figure out.

You've got me stranded in a place I don't recognize
You signed to me to close my eyes and now my hands are tied
Let's think back to just five minutes ago
When we were drinking outside your parents' home
Your dad freaks me out, let's get out of here
To a place where you can make your intentions clear
Will you avoid me in the morning?
That's how this kind of thing usually goes
But I know that you know that God only knows I need you closer.
