Are you listening?

one in three, you are here
(one in three, you are here to tell me we can't do this)
to tell me we can't do this
(three for three, i'll disagree)
anymore
your hair and face against the mirror
as I take the steps to save what's left of me
someone's out when it's over
people steal from you they take anything they choose
it's good to see you
I missed you last night
that's such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
I just wanted to say
this all seems so easy but there's choices to make
can't decide
then look at the faces
candlelight we're burning the pages
but ask us why
and hurting ourselves with this false start
resign yourself
and always be (and we pretend)
without the one (it simply gets easier)
thing you need (but does it get easier)
debating words with no replies
when we have these mornings where we can't say goodbye
I wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn't right
you keep coming back disassembled
and I keep losing this fight
I won't (I won't)
answer (answer)
dancing on the starlight glow
no one in the city knows
confidence can take you
nerves try to shake you
from going all the way
it's not that far
it's good to see you
I missed you last night
that's such a lovely color
it goes with your eyes
before we fall asleep
I just wanted to say
this all seems so easy
there's choices to make
we watch the tide roll in with cold air and coffee cakes
holding our words at lips
stopping the sounds they make
we know the way to go we know each step to take
to be here
these words with no replies
stopping we's and starting I's
this need is killing me and taking me over
I wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn't right
you keep coming back disassembled
and I keep losing this fight
