Sleeping with Headphones

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

Cuz 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
