lyrics

Just as low as the lows were
High were the highs
So afraid of myself
I went out every night
A roller coaster
no engineer in sight
Pull me closer
if that’s what you’d like

When I came for my mail
you left it in the hall, as if it hurt your eyes
Next to some clothes folded so neatly
They almost scream oh please just leave for good this time
But still I couldn’t help lingering outside of your door
Just to make sure, there was nothing else
I was leaving behind

(Something yells inside of me are you stupid please don’t stay here, but if I could see your face think I’d remember why I came here)

There’s blood on the horizon
There’s poison in the dew
My love was violent
My love was true
Behind a velvet rope
Tour guides lead people past our room
Here's the dinosaurs of love
What killed them sleeps inside of you

When I came for my mail
you left it in the hall, as if it hurt your eyes
Next to some clothes folded so neatly
They almost scream oh please just leave for good this time
But still I couldn’t help lingering outside of your door
Just to make sure, there was nothing else
I was leaving behind

(Something yells inside of me are you stupid please don’t stay here, but if I could see your face think I’d remember why I came here)

Wish there was a bubble
I could hold you forever in
But you're turning purple
There’s no oxygen
On a beach in Varadero
Stars fall down like plane crashes
I complained it was so early
But you said as I get older
I'll realize sunrises are so much better
than sunsets

Mushrooms float in my tea
Like lily pads
I dance in the street
I let the world collapse
A magician's science project
We're one person cut in half
A comedy,
That’s love
If you're brave enough to laugh

When I came for my mail
you left it in the hall, as if it hurt your eyes
Next to some clothes folded so neatly
They almost scream oh please just leave for good this time
But still I couldn’t help lingering outside of your door
Just to make sure, there was nothing else
I was leaving behind

(Something yells inside of me are you stupid please don’t stay here, but if I could see your face think I’d remember why I came here)
