We’re stuck in our bodies
Stuck in our minds
You’re stuck in your body
Stuck in your mind
I’m stuck in this body
And this mind
For the rest of my life
Because the bodies
We are stuck in
Release all of the punishment
We should switch our bodies
So we could be
Who we need to be
Who we oughta be
Where we ought to be, then
So when the fight is over
And we are back to normal
And I won’t have to commit myself completely
The rest of my short, short life
We will live anxious
And die more anxious
And I know it was tough
To admit you’re going rough
Keep your transgressions just to us
Keep your transgressions, rough
Keep yourself up at night
So i can lie to you about not liking guys
I’m sorry I had to tell you that
But we were getting dangerously close
When you told me you loved me
Makes me wanna be who I wanna be
Because there’s binders dropped on your floor
And cut-up sweatshirts taped to your door
Falsely extending the length of songs
To make it seem like I care at all
Do me a favor
If we’re stuck on the road
Never ask me to play guitar
While you drive
Don’t let me go
You might feel alone
And don’t let go of your heart
You know I love your art
But I never liked That One anyways
And what happened to you?
We slept in the beds of your best friends
And watched the sunset from the broken attic window
Watching your hair and your coat and the breaking threads
I’m happy enough living like library kids
Like one-eyed dogs and living like this
I can’t turn this thing off, it keeps following me
And one day you’ll back and say you did the best that you could
And you’ll be wrong
You’re always wrong
To show the greenlight dye
The better part of me
Lost in the night
And then in the morning pretending to sleep
You sat beside me and said that I looked sweet
You walked back from your room
I could’ve told you just how close I came
I could’ve told you all about those days
I could’ve but I’m so goddamn afraid
But one perfect night every night is not enough
And justin vernon said “emma isn’t a person
Just a place, that you can’t escape”
And to me, you’re that place and i
Sometimes wish i’ll never escape
But it’s crucial to blot any sign i have any feelings
So when he asks “how are you” to me
I won’t have to answer honestly
And okay
I want your help your love anyway
Jenny never showed me nothing but kindness
But by the age of 19 she was throwing fits
She didn’t know that I’d be around
And to this day I can still hear the sound
Of her voice again
For years I hadn’t had a clue
And suddenly I could look through
Jenny’s eyes again
Jenny was a friend
Jenny never showed me nothing but kindness
But by the age of 20 she slit her wrists
And now she don’t exist
She didn’t know I’d be waiting for her
So i went to my house
These transgressions of then
Think of your friends, family
These transgressions of jen
Think of your friends and family
descend into cliche
Don’t you know I’m not strong?
Don’t you know I’m not kind?
Don’t you know what I’m like?
We’ve lived
With these transgressions
I wonder if you went to me
Because I’m gullible--
Don’t you know I’m not strong?
Don’t you know I’m not kind?
I’m sorry
But it’s for the best
I’d understand
If you never wanna talk to me again
Then you resent me for the rest of our short, short lives
I wish i was a girl who had you
i wish i was dead
