Lights Out

You are a ghost in the background

Hiding between the walls

You are a snake in the tall grass

Waiting for me to fall

I'm crying at the disco

You were with Just Friends

Still walking down Troutman and Morgan

Thinking I'll see you again

I want to live with the lights out

I don't want to keep waiting on your calls

What's the point in the right now

When I can't stand living here at all?

Fighting back all the shadows

Of these habits I've inherited

Because the danger is for the betterment

So I never need to see you again

Are you still skipping your meals?

Do you still need reminders?

Did you stop watching Dawson's Creek?

Have you cried in the silence?

Do you miss our dinners?

Are you still ordering in?

Can you answer all the questions

You gave to me then?

I want to live with the lights out

I don't want to keep waiting on your calls

What's the point in the right now

When I can't stand living here at all?

Fighting back all the shadows

Of these habits I've inherited

Because the danger is for the betterment

So I never need to see you again

I know it's for the best

I know there's no regrets

And still I must confess

I'm still a fucking mess

You smoked that cigarette

You said you were the shit

I handed you my best

You met me with a fist

Fixated on the ring

Despite of where we meet

Gave it a little time

I'd give you everything

You said you'd never leave

You said that I should go

I left you all the things

I built but never owned

I saw the little poem

Tucked in your carousel

You thought I wouldn't notice

I keep it on a shelf

You are never going to miss me

Now these things I can tell

But still I can't help it

I'll only wish you well!
