blindfolded  s a v e  s   t h e   d a y

So now I've made the decision
to walk behind you
in the dark
for the rest of my life
and I'll never show my face again because
it's too scarred and bloody to be enough
and I don't have the right stuff-
all I have are the empty boxes to carry away
your heart and I
think that tonight I will sneak into your house
and I'll sing songs
and wake you up
and I'll take you blindfolded dancing onto bridges
and you'll say you don't to be with me
'cause no one ever does
and no one ever thinks of me that way
but I will even drive you home if you never let me forget about you
and if you promise me that I'm good enough for someone 'cause I've got to be
good enough for you
and someday soon I'll get it right
and then you'll see just how good I can be
so don't ask me about forever because right now I'm feeling lost
but there's got to be some place for me because if there isn't where will I go?
will there be some place for me
and will you be waiting there for me?
if and when we get there please catch me
before I crawl all the way home
but I won't stop until you do.

Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I'll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
and if not I'll take my rusty spoons
and dig out your blue eyes
I'll swallow them down to my colon
They're gonna burn like hell tonight
Because you're beautiful
Just not on the inside
Light comes from within
And your beaming eyes don't seem so bright
My heart is on the floor
Why don't you step on it?
When I think of
all the things you've done
Boardwalks and breaking waves
Made our Saturdays
I'd buy you lemonade right now
if you were here
But then I'd throw it in your face
And I'd listen to you cry
And I'd remember how I miss
our nights under ocean skies
You and I are like when fire
and the ocean floor collide

Somewhere under water maybe you could find my heart
'Cause that's where I threw it after you had torn it out
Three days ago
The doctor told me, "Every skyline and every night spent alone
Are tearing you apart."
Maybe I should get some help
Maybe I should fly out to Montana
I've heard it's quite quiet way out past the electric lines
Out where no one will ever know my name
Oh, I've had it now
I'm walking down to your house
I'm banging on the door
Please, please, please, Mr. Hox
Won't you tell your daughter I'm all alone
And I'm not handling this well
You never know just what you have
Until you get it yanked out of your chest
Well that's it
I'm walking to the water
I'm standing on the bank
I'm staring at my reflection
Oh my god, I look pathetic tonight
Well, guess what
I'm diving in this river
And I'm fishing out my heart
And I'm never gonna let you get your hands on this again

I said, "that boy's handsome"
and a little bit of me wanted to be beautiful-
Carrie said,
"It's hard to look in the mirror these days when everyone has everything you'd rather be."
There's just something about his smile
He looks so nice, I wish I had friends like that
They'd always be there for me, I wouldn't look bad
They wouldn't talk behind my back.

oh great.. 
here i go again
im stuck in this rut
not sure how to begin
oh should i tell you everything? 
im feeling out of luck 
so i wont see you soon
because i know its too soon 
for you to see me
if this is the last thing you do 
just tell me that its okay for me 
to have these feelings for you 
and its normal to want to call you
oh im dialing the phone
and letting it ring for hours 
pretending to hear your voice
why does my heart always beat before yours does? 
after a while you can make yourself 
believe in almost anything
so im making myself believe in you..
