I went to your house in fredonia
but you have insomnia
so we talked and talked and talked
until the sun started to shine
then you apologized with your sad eyes
you sat down and then you cried
you said its yourself
that you despise
then I felt awkward with my words
like a porcupine that hurts
I climbed a tall tree
and I waited there till night
I was an all star in speechlessness
my friends say I'm hit or miss but they don't even know
the half OF IT

brooklyn please keep my lies
in your hazel eyes
feed them to the children
in the dying buildings
and I wanna believe
we can talk like adults
and I wanna believe
its not our faults
I am in disposal
from your dead proposal
I can't see my wishes
from your rooftop garden
and I wanna believe
in anything

I wanted broken nails at the fingertips
a bigger heart and skinnier hips
a china set with vibrant blues
a diamond ring with promises too
I wanna wake up thinking its okay
I don't know what to do today
I wanna go to bed thinking its alright
its okay that I wasted a night
I wanna hear the words I love you
that or just a "howdoyado"
I wanna talk to people my own age
an understanding on a page
I wanna go down in the history books
cause I've gotten stranger looks
and I just want one small tattoo
just to get to know you
NAH NAH NAH NAAAAAAAAH NAAAH

starlet of the hour

put more makeup on
put a fake smile on
read the teleprompter
there are stories that haunt her
as the lights go down
say nothing profound
look in the camera
from your lips they draw
that your the starlet of the hour
your words have power and I won't sleep easy
if your not sleeping in my arms
no I won't sleep easy
if your not sleeping in my arms tonight
I'll never come to
terms that you've moved up to
better things in your life
more than me and my strife
but I'll catch you at seven
better tv than heaven
look in the camera
from your lips they draw
all this time its been happening to you, dear
and all my life I've been circling myself here (won't you please come home?)
aren't you home, have you disappeared from myself here
(its what you could have meant to me)
