Meet me here with a wilted flower
For the unmarked grave of every hour
Wave goodbye with a heavy hand
Marked by days and weeks and second hands
Sing sad songs if it makes you smile
I’ll be dreaming softly all the while
But if I ever lose myself
Between real and pretend
Would you pinch me awake
Or kiss me to sleep again?
Would you say what you really mean
Or just fool me twice, never saw it coming (well…)
All those sad songs played back to me (back to me…)
Just sound foolish as hell
So I’m scratching out what I wrote
Cause I’m lost for words and all I know is…
I was wavering, wavering
Hanging on by fingernails, dangling
Was I wandering and pacing
On again, off again, contemplating
I was wavering, wavering
And victim to the wind
So would you pinch me awake?
Pinch me awake
Would you pinch me awake
Or kiss me to sleep again?

You don’t have to be a stranger around me
So don’t act like you don’t know me
You don’t have to be all smiling politely
Like you checked out maybe last week
You don’t have to be a stranger towards me
And your profile read for fans only
But I don’t have the strength in me
To keep you at an arms length reach
I must be lonely
All daily and nightly
I must be…
Everything is terrible and I don’t want to live
Everything I wanted was just slightly past my fingertips
As always
All daily and nightly
You don’t have to be a stranger, or do you?
I was unclear what was see-through
You don’t have to be so distant you’ve got options
I could list off a few of them
You don’t have to be a stranger around me
And the silence now is confounding
And maybe just a part of me
Was hanging on to make believe
I must be crazy
All daily and nightly
I must be…
I don’t want your pleasantries and I don’t want hellos
I just want you in your bed while taking off your clothes
That’d be alright with me
All daily and nightly
Oh I must be…
All daily and nightly
Well I don’t have to be a stranger
But I might be
And this album is for fans only
So what are you still doing
Listening here to it
Like you know me?

Limitations (feat. Blue)

What if I can’t do it
All the things I said I would?
What if I can’t handle it
Like I thought I could?
What if I’m not up for it
All the things I thought I was?
And now I’m failing you
And failing myself?
That’s what I get
For being hopeful
That’s what I get
For looking forward
That’s what I get
Just a fantasy
Where I can lay my head
Limitations
Of the things I’ve done and said
These imitations
They haven’t come without their debts
That I’ll be paying off forever
So if you ask for my two cents
I haven’t got a one
No all my pennies have been spent
Well in advance
And these limitations
Have foiled all my plans
What if I can’t do it?
And what if I can’t make it?
What if all the things they said were really true?
Would you still be here in the morning
Just because I love you?
What if I can’t do it?
And what if I can’t make it?

Still frozen in the water
Well that’s what they call ice
If I could melt away
If for one day of paradise
Temperatures are rising
Might boil me alive
Sometimes I wonder how we might survive
Memories upon me now
Like one big bad backslide
And who I was in all those photographs
I heard he died
And now I wonder, waiting
For the next me to arrive
Sometimes I wonder
Who will take my place and will I mind?
I want to fall in love with you
But I’m busy
And so sorry
I want to go through the motions
Just to feel crazy
Just to feel something
I’ve been missing me dearly
I’ve been missing me...
Miss me dearly often
And miss me dearly now
And miss me while I am still here
As if I’m not around
Not sure where I’m going
But when I’m back in town
Sometimes I wonder
What could all the matter be about?
(Sometimes I wonder what could all the matter be about)
I want to fall in love with you
But I’m busy
And so sorry
I want to go through the motions
Just to feel crazy
Just to feel something
I’ve been missing me dearly
I want to fall in love with you
But I’m busy
And so sorry
I want to go through the motions
Just to feel crazy
Just to feel something
I’ve been missing me dearly
I’ve been missing me...

Some people say they catch me talking to myself
Well I’m not crazy
I’m just thinking out loud
Some people say they seen me talking to the clouds
I wouldn’t doubt it
Now I’m laying on the ground
Bouncing my ideas off the sidewalk
Yeah the sidewalk always hears me out
So now I’m talking to myself
Like I’m the only one around
Thought I saw a vision once
It was a hallucination
So I’m always talking to to myself
Like I’m the only game in town
A city filled with empty buildings
And not a sound
Except me talking to myself
Bouncing my ideas off the sidewalk
Yeah the sidewalk always hears me out
So now I’m talking to myself
Like I’m the only one around
Was looking for a traveller
Only tourists to be found
That’s why I’m always talking to to myself
Like I’m the only game in town
A city filled with empty buildings
And not a sound
Except me talking to myself
