you can call out my name
if you hear me in your dreams
it's holding me here (in vain)
to reach through your skin
it's only a dream, it's only a dream
don't hold on too tight...

well, there goes another one
that i thought had loved
but love was far from where i land
the same place that you are not

soon that girl will go,
but that can't stop you from loving her
soon that girl will find another kiss
to take you off her mind

you see the way she forms her eyes,
its a little bit uncomfortable
i know exactly what line she's on
by the moves she makes
she shifts in her chair
and i don't want to make her mad,
but it seems i lost that battle long ago
it just brings up another fight
about how i can be so impossible
i should know this won't go anywhere,
i'm a stubborn and unhappy fool
but she keeps looking at my sleeve...
my heart is permanently sewn on

so i've been sitting in the rain for a half an hour
with a pen that forms her from the smoke of a past
that has never really seen its shape
and i wonder how it works in movies

this is how we break, just so you know

i hate how i'm detached enough from songs i've written years ago to completely identify with them now.
