lyrics

In the end, I’ll come running to you
If it breaks my bones, I’ll make it home
I still see your idiosyncrasies
But all I hear is the sweet ocean breeze

Maybe one day I’ll just show up
Maybe then I’ll be a no one
Maybe you’ll remember my face
Maybe you’ll remember my taste
If I called, you wouldn’t answer
Ain’t that right?

No I can’t be
Too sad or too sweet
I have to see to your fondest memory
I’ll take your shape
I’ll paint my face
I’ll throw my silver sliver of self away

Maybe I’ll give all this shit up,
Kill that girl I used to dream of
Living for a fantasy, she’ll soon be six feet underneath
Maybe I should keep to myself

Scared of all these memories
I’m scared to see what’s left of me
I’m scared you won’t be sentimental
Scared that you’ll be too forgetful
I know you’ll forget me soon enough

If it breaks my bones, I’ll make it home
Leave––my body is crushed, it shouldn’t be touched
Take my pride by your side, it was never mine
I’ll meet you in another life
