Reservations

I'll reserve you
Until you're mine
Won't give my heart
Up until it's time
When I can finally
Give you everything
I want to
When I can tell you
How much I love you
I do
Or when I realize- 
If it happens first
That everything you
Said was for the benefit
Of some verse
For some lines the public will never hear you spit 
All I want is to be your girl
All you want is the whole world

You're lonely.
It came to me one night
when I was too
I never thought
that would ever be,
No, not you-
Not lonely
While you stir up
nothing at the bar
glance at the phone
wonder where they are
I stifle back a laugh
"You're lonely."
As it hits me
but it doesn't break my fantasy
You're still my dream
Even being so flawed
so human, which I know you are not-
as to be lonely

baby are you up at night 

thinking maybe wondering

"is she all alone or is he up 

behind her holding tight" 

or is it just something

you only think of when youre faded 

when youve had enough of complicated

situations, when your own town brings you down 

do you ever hear the perfect line

that makes you want to go back in time 

take the distance and put nothing between us

damn i think i think too much 

like when i send you photos

and i wonder if you smile 

if you sit back in your chair and laugh

bring it up to friends and brag

do you hold it for your own eyes 

keep it secret, feed me lines  

im simply sick of all i have to say 

but youre far for another day 

month, week, year

time means nothing when its passing here

time means nothing

when its passing

here 

oh well

Keep disregarding me
It turns me on
Please don't stop ignoring me
"You're doing it wrong,
If you want to be remembered
You have to leave before you've
Been around too long."
So I lost my wallet
It wasn't a satisfying goodbye
But you didn't let it at that
And now I've got nothing but time
Miss you sweetie
You'll never be mine
Get me out of here baby
Sick of city lights
I want oceans of sky
Where it's nothing but
Star shine reflecting
Landlocked blues
anything but I love yous
