about

lyrics

Tell me you want me
And I’ll flake on my plans
Take the train to your house

It’s forty five minutes
But who gives a damn
When you’re the only one I wanna be around

They say it’s a heatwave
But I’d still sweat bullets in snow
If you called out my name

My heart is a game in a penny arcade
It was made to be lost, to be played

I don’t want a lot from you
Don’t need prizes or silver or gold
I just wanna be with you
A couple lifetimes or so

Last night I went out
‘Til four in the morning
Laughing with friends I just made

Its a welcome distraction
Of oncoming traffic
But some habits are too good to break

See I can be steady and I can be true
But I can’t be some kind of lifeline for you

So go on and go home, we’re both better alone
I shouldn’t have to tell you
You should just know

I look out my window
See the billboards for nice stores
And think about getting all new clothes

I’m sleeping with headphones
And watching tv shows
I watched when I was twelve years old

Cause right now Cold Comfort is all I can take
I hate advice more than making mistakes
Oh your heart is a wave, that’s too small to break

It just sways with wind and the rain
I don’t want a lot from you

Don’t need postcards from places you go
I just wanna be with you
A couple lifetimes or so
