unhinged this song reminds me of you now even more than it did when we were still trying to break up and i first bought this album and debated putting this song on the mixed cd i made about missing you. i still think about sending you the words i wrote about you every now and then.




slowly the pen touches paper
in the guidance of the words that you write
memories roll in
of the things you once you did
and who you had shared them with
is somebody thinking of you?
did i bother telling you this
with the words that cross teeth and jump lips
a poor choice of words
and wanting to tell you anything
but words don't come with ease
they're forever my home
would it really matter
if you were to count the days left with your hands
your focus secure
and the loves you left well
smiles staged in photographs
here until
you left the light on
there's a chance i might have tripped ....
you that i hold on
ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
kill or be killed
spilled the words from your mother
i'll awake for awhile
i'll leave the light on awhile
but you couldn't last a lifetime
caught between here and the day's event
carving her name across your arm
with every wish
it's hit or miss
i told you so
i measure distance in lines
parting the rest of my life
but you you you
you had better things to do
you you you
you had better things to do
liar liar liar
ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
kill or be killed
spilled the words from your mother
i'll lay awake for awhile
i'll leave the light on awhile
but you couldn't last a lifetime
caught between here and the days event
carving her name across your arm
with every wish
it's hit or miss
i told you so
i measure distance in lines
parting the rest of my life
..... (big chunk i can't quite understand)
and i awoke to the sounds of her crying
her father said....
(and then i can't understand anymore)
