i don't want to wait for sunshine
i don't want to wait for snow
i just want a simple answer
but some things i'll never know
i could wear a nicotine patch
i could smoke a cigarette
is this real or just a good time?
no one knows, so place your bets
we are here and this is right now
we are here and younger still
let's be fools for slightly longer
come our day we'll get the bill
promise me you'll wear a seatbelt
love the people you have met
it's the life you've always wanted
promise me you won't forget

take it back, don't leave a trace
make a plan, i'm on my way
jury's out, the facts are hard
i hate to say it, but you've caught me off guard
nobody wants you
nobody needs you
nobody likes me
say to me that i'm on my own
it's plain to see i'll end up alone
you brought me down with your misery
i'm leaving here tonight, and i'm not taking you with me
nobody wants you
nobody needs you
nobody likes me
got the news and my head is spinning
this was over before the beginning
all the lies you were spitting
you won’t get to heaven after all that sinning, girl
watch your mouth, keep my name out of it
you strung me up like a mother fuckin' puppet
but i’ll take this feeling, i’ll rise above it
forget you were ever someone that i trusted

waking sitting upright
can't explain the sunlight
wondering why you're not home
the loud girl beside you
left before you tried to work out all the unknowns
blame it all on me when
i forget to defend everything that we've worked out
something in her wording
i cannot help searching for what memory found
thought it stopped just as it starts, but that is not what you are
you're a layer on my clothes, made of ivy and gold
meet me in the hallway
bite your lip when i say
"never have you left my mind"
stop and think it over
smile, move in closer
oh, what delicate time
blame it all on me when
i forget to defend everything that we've worked out
something in her wording
i guess she was just searching for some knowledge or sound
thought it stopped just as it starts, but that is not what you are
you're a layer on my clothes, made of ivy and gold

come at me
with the full force of 40,000 volts touching my skin
then you'll feel it, the high that comes
when you're throwing caution to the wind
so hear me out
don't hear my thoughts
plant yourself inside me and bloom forget-me-nots
so we can have a little bit of spring
every time i see your picture, a snapchat fling oh no
i can't shake the feeling that i am somehow more important than i appear
there's a personality complex in there somewhere
give it up
throw away your doubts and run with me to the city
we'll find ourselves in cobblestone streets, subway stations, and concrete
so hear me out
from block to block
you can be the key and i will be the lock
so we can open up a little at a time
and the more we talk the more we feel alive oh no
i can't shake the feeling that i am somehow more important than i appear
there's a personality complex in there somewhere
i’m in too deep
i watch as we just drag our feet through right through this
and i just feel so useless
why does it feel forced when you say "i’m so happy"?
i know eventually you’ll let go

take a breath
do you even know what you're up against?
just goes to show that you can't plan for what's next
making the most until we make it all a mess
when you know what you're in for
can you make it on your own?
you'll get through this if you know you're not alone
just keep on keeping on and life will do the rest
