lyrics

You remind me often and tell me,
"You always used to say that you didn't need anything"
But when I sleep, I dream about you living down the street and
conducting electricity over sheets
You are nightmares of next year
You are patience + anxiousness for what brings me closer to the airport

Some things will stay for my entire life
Until I die, I'll feel them dissolving me
And day or night, they appear whenever I close eyes

Every specific wrinkle in the pacific are reflections of blankets in your eyelids
Every night with signs in my car and time to kill
Every reason I can't sit that still is how I'm living out the reasons for it still

I've been thinking about what you're deserving of / if you've ever felt it
Tell me what's happened
Tell me how it could have been worse
I swear to make things fine, but is it there when you close your eyes?

Calm and tangle in my nerves too because I want you
I want to tell you I don't need a thing
I want to tell you I don't want to go to sleep

You remind me of why I love myself
And I am a nervous wreck

Sleep outside - we see it when we close our eyes,
How we’ll be careful for all our lives + sleep outside
You are the freezing concrete that's reminding of why I love me
And I love you
My best friends - I swear I’ll see you
You are the freezing concrete that’s reminding that I love me
And I love you

Some things will stay for my entire life + until I die
But until I finally close my eyes, I promise not to waste precious life
