Verse 1: We were down by the river when you told me The sun that day didn’t look quite right I asked you, was this our last night You told me we didn’t need to know yet Chorus: And even if the sky falls down tonight We’ll sink into the riverbed, I know we’ll be alright Even if the moon falls from the sky Hold on tight to me, darling, I’ll teach you how to fly Even if we don’t end up together The stars will still shine in my memories Even if I lose you I will never lose you Verse 2: We were dancing in the summer grasses, laughing The buzz of bees and hummingbirds so far above our heads Nobody ever told me it could end without a fight And nobody ever told me, sometimes things just don’t turn out right Bridge: And you were mine So I did not cry And you were the moon’s You were alone When I took you home The river flowed on anyway And we were alive And you saw the look in my eyes When I asked you to stay I wasn’t alone You were the breath in my lungs And you didn’t understand how much I needed you, so Stay, please Stay, please Please stay

Verse 1: Don’t let it change you, they said. if you weren’t yourself before it, you won’t be after don’t let it fix you, they begged there’s something about that sharp part of your heart that makes you matter Chorus: I don’t know where to go from here if the exhaustion follows me past the fear if what broke me makes me unique what the hell am I supposed to think I don’t want to feel like this I want to finally know bliss but if I’ve lost a part of me then I guess I’d rather be shattered Verse 2: I didn’t ask to draw this line I didn’t ask for my mind to hide the truth, day in and out, what’s wrong, my brain is stringing me along I didn’t ask you for your help I just wanted to be myself and if I became more than fine would that finally cross the line Chorus: I don’t know where to go from here if the exhaustion follows me past the fear if what broke me makes me unique what the hell am I supposed to think I don’t want to feel like this I want to finally know bliss but if I’ve lost a part of me then I guess I’d rather be Bridge/Outro: Myself. But that’s a lie. I don’t know anymore what side of my true self I’m fighting for My eyes used to sparkle, my hands used to not shake before I could hit the ground I jolted awake I was seven years old yesterday I’ll be dead sometime next millennia, you say, The world is flashing, spinning, already over, never ending, I smash my old self, create my new hell, and find the woman that can’t be broken, can’t be bent, can’t be changed, can’t be shattered, but I am shattered is that okay?

Where I come from, we don't talk about the waves Where I come from, we make the same mistakes Where I come from, asking questions is the same as sin If you're not looking up to look for God, then why the grin? God was here, autumn of last year But just like most of us, he got the hell out of here Saw a distant breaking sun, between the steeple and the gun Saw an opening in the clouds, couldn't tell what was peeking down Where I come from, we don't talk about the waves Where I come from, we make the same mistakes Make the same mistakes

Verse 1 It’s just that: a theory, and if you began With a whisper or a cosmic cataclysm Just like— made by a new sun but unlike us, Are some things the same, are you the same Pre Chorus: They say you’re moving away from us, and still We send postcards into the vacuum, love letters into the void Because we can’t accept you’re empty No we can’t believe you’re infinity Chorus: At the beginning they told me you weren’t there Only an atom waiting to birth the stars we share In another millennia when we are all gone They’ll start all over, we’ll start all over, and we’ll find you again Verse 2: At your heart is something black, just like ours Just like mine, we all sit in our little rooms and wonder If you could say one word to us to explain all we know Tell us how far we are from the edge because I have to go And most of the universe is invisible, so maybe you are too And if you are colder than us, I hope a sun warms you And I won’t be alive to see it, but I think that one day Someone will touch you for the first time, not even realizing it’s changed Pre Chorus: They say you’re moving away from us, and still We send postcards into the vacuum, love letters into the void Because we can’t accept you’re empty No we can’t believe you’re infinity Chorus: Whoah, Oh, In another millennia when we are all gone We’ll start all over, they’ll start all over, and we’ll find you again

if I threw you into the waves 02:57

Verse 1: It doesn’t feel so pretty now Looks like the life has been sucked out Sunshine, sand dunes, little girl who Did not know that she was not yet grown So she ran into the foam They all know it’s cheaper if it’s fake Rough to the touch, but doesn’t fade Something’s always making noise It’s louder softer can’t avoid the chords They cut but not a sword Chorus: If I threw you into the waves Would you float on, or would you stay Wash up on the shore, begging for a moment more Just tell me you’d stay Verse 2: The moon it pulls up on the night Endless sand, endless sight Terrified the moon will fail, The endless sand will turn to hail and break The world was made to shake The trip back always seems so short The waves return but this time warm I missed you, did you miss me I asked you for you specifically my love Did you hear me from above Chorus: If I threw you into the waves Would you float on, or would you stay Wash up on the shore, begging for a moment more Just tell me you’d stay

Verse 1: Someone told me once, go fix yourself I smiled at them instead of giving them hell ‘Cause what they didn’t know is that I had given up Stared at the bottom of the barrel, drank the last sip from my cup Stars on my ring, laughing as I board the bus, we sit, it’s dark, They take us on and on and on and on and on and Pills by my bed, don’t forget one, Or you’ll be crying, screaming, running in the street and shouting, Chorus: I don’t know myself I don’t feel too well I can’t tell you the last time I knew What was going on Yeah Verse 2: Someone told me once go change yourself I smiled at them, and then I gave them hell ‘Cause what they didn’t know, is that I don’t give a fuck From the bottom of the barrel, only place you go is up Spinning in my chair, trying to understand They’re laughing at the end of the world, holding death inside their hand Pills by my bed, forget this one, or maybe I’ll never remember how I felt when I was shouting Chorus: I don’t know myself I don’t feel too well I can’t tell you the last time I knew What was going on Yeah Bridge/Outro: I don’t know myself I don’t feel too well I can’t tell you what message I’m trying to get through Yeah, I don’t know myself, I don’t feel too well, yeah

Verse 1: Is this how it ends Not with a fight but with a glance the other way The same way it begins I pretended not to see you from a block away Pre Chorus: Your skin up to my heart beating Felt the end inside your breathing I could walk away and skip the pain Your lips on mine, you’re retreating Can we choose to fix this even If you won’t be here when I awake Chorus: If this is how it ends Can I go back and make amends To the girl I was last winter when I saw it all unfold If I was right And this all crumbles down tonight Can I say sorry to myself Go back and choose somebody else Go back and choose somebody else Verse 2: What went wrong with us Sat down beside you but you didn’t look my way The same way it began I would have talked to you if I knew what to say Pre Chorus: You’re laughing with her like I was Nothing, like I didn’t mean enough For you to take a second to move on Oh, see flashes before my eyes Our tight hugs, last kiss, first goodbye Even if you never do explain Chorus: If this is how it ends Can I go back and make amends To the girl I was last winter when I saw it all unfold If I was right And this all crumbles down tonight Can I say sorry to myself Go back and choose somebody else Go back and choose somebody else Outro: Your eyes on mine, you’re retreating Would we want to fix this, even

Did we run out of notes Did we try to sing along but choked This has been sung before By another girl along another shore When I was ten, the eighty-eight keys Seemed just like infinity And all the songs I hadn’t wrote Loomed in the air, caught in my throat Have I run out of brand new notes Of brand new hopes, of songs that spoke To me back then, when pages thinned With all the melodies yet to spend Can I just think of one Can I just think of one Can I just think

I hope you’ve all enjoyed my show, ‘Cause now it’s time for me to go Somewhere silent, into the wind, Where only I can be my friend I can decide if I’d like to stay If I need people, anyway And if I’ve become sure and steady, you will see me again, Be ready.
