Accelerating Into a Turn

Accelerating into a turn
A bag of deer bones in the backseat
Something had to die, but not yet decompose
Just so we could meet
Accelerating into a turn
Giving you and I a second thought
Don’t know which would be worse for me
If you wanted me back or not
I’ll never love anybody
The way that I loved you
And you’ll never find anybody
Who loves you the way that I do
But that don’t mean that we were worth
All the shit we put each other through
Accelerating into a turn
Speeding like I’ve got somewhere to be
Not that there’s much at the end of this road
Not that it’s even up to me
I’ll never love anybody
The way that I loved you
And I doubt that you’ll find anybody
Who loves you the way that I do
But baby that don’t mean we were worth
All the shit we put each other through
Accelerating into a turn
Thinking I’ve got control of this wheel
Thinking it’s easy not to swerve, not to crash
Thinking it’s easy to ignore how I feel
Accelerating into a turn
Forgetting what this risk is worth
When something dies it has to decompose so something new can
Rise from the earth
You’ll never love anybody
The way that you loved me
But you’re gonna find somebody
Who you will love differently
‘Cause you and I have not met
The people we have yet to grow up to be

Right Kind of Light

Everything I know about you is from
Your Tinder profile
But you look at me like someone
You haven’t seen in awhile
On your lips
Is someone else’s name
I guess that makes us
One and the same
We are holding each other over
Till we find greener grass
Heartbreak can wreck you
But we can make it pass
So who do I smell like tonight?
Who do I remind you of in the right kind of light?
Wrapped around each other
Like a bandage
By undressing we are dressing wounds
From the same kind of damage
Peeling off layers of
Denim and cotton
For just this moment everything
Else is forgotten.
We are holding each other over
Till we find greener grass
Heartbreak can wreck you
But we can make it pass
So who do I smell like tonight?
Who do I remind you of in the right kind of light?
Close your eyes, keep on kissing
Pay no mind to the things that are missing
As long as we keep each other attracted
We can keep each other distracted
We are holding each other over
Till we find greener grass
Heartbreak can’t wreck you
If we make it pass
Do you know who you smell like tonight?
Do you know who you remind me of in the right kind of light?

Easy to Fall For

Infatuation
Can make you feel good
You think you are breathing
As deep as you should
As if I am something
You’ve only dreamed of
I am easy to fall for
But harder to love
Don’t give me flowers
They’ll die in my care
Even if they try weaving
A crown in through hair
‘Cause they will stop growing
When push comes to shove
I am easy to fall for
And harder to love
Your fascination
Is temporary
It’s probably better
You never know me
I want to be someone
That I am proud of
Instead I’m easy to fall for
And harder to love
So don’t give me flowers
They’ll die in my care
Even if they try weaving
A crown in through hair
‘Cause they will stop growing
When push comes to shove
I am easy to fall for
And harder to (love) x14
I am easy to fall for
And harder to love
I am easy to fall for
And harder to love

Codependence

How did this time get away from me?
Time runs away like disease in the heat
Like a baby on its feet
Like me
I run away from things that scare me
And when I find myself a home
It's not alone
But in a body not my own
I'm breathing someone else’s air
Making sure they care
Where did my confidence go?
You know I swear I just had it
Maybe I lost it
Maybe I dropped it
Between the couch cushions
With all that spare change and my lost car keys
I think we’ve been friends for too long
I just mean it's so much easier to love myself
When I do not think I am always the one who is wrong
I'm such a creature of habit
Always falling into patterns
Always falling off the deep end
Of codependence and the remnants of myself are
Hanging from a laundry line
I guess that makes you the wind
Biding your time
Before you scoop me up and throw me across the lawn
You know it's so much easier to love myself
When I do not think I am always the one who is wrong
I think I have a beautiful body
That I am always stuck in
Being happy with the things I have isn't really something
I have ever seemed to have all that much luck in
We have been friends for too long
I just mean it’s so much easier to love myself when you are gone
I mean, it’s so much easier to love myself when I do not think I am always wrong
It is so much easier to love myself when I don’t need you around
I mean it is so much easier to love myself when my confidence is found
