Sorry, go back to bed Twisting and turning all inside my head The sheets feel cold and empty nowadays There's a leaky faucet inside your frowning maze Have you seen the reddest star Don't worry that's just the wonderful bizarre And I'll see you there I'll see you tomorrow And if you aren't there Well then it's just a waste of a day Sorry, go back to bed I'd rather live in the lighthouse than the house on the hill I'm sick and tired of waiting for you to not be so ill The cerulean walls grow dimmer and dimmer Have you seen the reddest star Don't worry that's just the wonderful bizarre And I'll see you there I'll see you tomorrow And if you aren't there Well then it's just a waste of a day Sorry, go back to bed I'll see you tomorrow I'll see you then I'll se you tomorrow I'll see you then

You're not there and you never will be I should've realized a long time ago You're not the kind that can love another For days or weeks at most Boyfriend and girlfriend, you had me thinking all throughout the night And I was too slow to see the daylight You're not there You're not anywhere Hold me So I don't fold and rip right into two Hold me So I don't slip further into you Maybe she is just too indecisive But by that logic isn't everyone that you have ever spoken to And so on and so forth And anything that might say can be interpreted some other way You're not there You're not anywhere

I am laying on the clouds There is no one else around And all I see up here Is a collection of all my fears Then the sun begins to rise Don't you know there's no second place prize I coulda sworn I saw you lying on the ground And you know I'll always be around
4.
I kinda like you out of the hundreds and thousands I've met I'm trapped inside your love outlet Decorated polka dots taped by glue I like how it smells a little bit like you There're sunflowers growing out of the ground On this planet you cry out loud I may be dreaming but I can't relax I'm walking these lonesome desert tracks In this world there's no definite facts All I see are the infinite flats And if you stepped inside of my dream I'd introduce you to me You're the only thing that I worry about Never thought to let my feelings out But if we lived in some other dimension Then I'd never ever have to mention I'd like to sew shut my eyes so you can be forever hypnotized By the morning I'm the black sheep You only love me in my sleep Don't try to convince me that I'm wrong Our beauty's been blossoming for far too long Tomorrow I'll see you in the grey Out the wonders and excitements made of clay
5.
The sun is slowly sinking And our chances are slowly shrinking The moon glows upon your pretty little face And our love is an ever decaying chase A year ago today Seeds had been sewn In one fell swoop I coulda seen em grow How could I have ever known What would've happened if a year ago today I didn't say goodbye If I didn't say goodbye Well, goodbye i wonder if she Still thinks about me And I wonder what her answer might've been A year ago today (Goodnight, don't let the beg bugs bite)
