Mumble

I’m here at the back of the class
Trying to read over your shoulder
I think that I’ve got the gist of it
You’re telling me I mean something to ya
But I can’t hear you when you mumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
Lost in the radio silence
All of our needs covered in fuzz
You can’t hear me begging for affection
And I can’t hear you professing your love
I can’t hear you when you mumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
Something in the air spells trouble
But I can’t hear it when you mumble
Can you feel it when I rumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
Something in the air spells trouble
But I can’t hear you when you mumble
I think I heard you say it
I think I heard you say you love me
But I
I
I can’t hear you when you mumble (x2)
Something in the air spells trouble
But I can’t hear it when you mumble
Can you feel it when I rumble
I can’t hear you when you mumble
Something in the air spells trouble
But I can’t hear you when you
When you mumble

Lover to Lover

Spiderweb
Holding me
Buried by the weight of your gravity
Gripping me so tight, I can hardly breathe
Every time you say you love me
It’s picturesque
Make-believe
You could make a prison feel like bed sheets
I pretend I’m sleeping so that you don’t see
Every time you say you love me
I fade
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
My heart breaks
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
Me to you
Moth to flame
Beautiful, but burn me up just the same
My heart would beat for you forever if I had my way
But every time you say you love me
I fade
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
My heart breaks
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
In you
You (x2)
In you
You (x2)
In you I found a home
But you smothered me in kisses and then buried my bones
In you I found a home
I know I’m gonna miss you if I leave you alone
But I fade
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
My heart breaks
Lover to lover, I feel like I’m drowning
In you
You (x2)
In you
You (x2)

Clean

Two months clean and the best part of me still looks like you
Two months clean and I still can’t get out of bed
Wash us off the sheets, but everything still smells like you
Two months clean and you’re still running through my head
And I can’t sleep
‘Cause in the dead of night you call to me
And I would let you break me in two
Break me in two
Whenever you need
Two months clean and the best part of me is half of you
Two months clean and I still stop to check my phone
I laugh, and I scream, and I try everything to get rid of you
But you’re in the faces I wear, my clothes, and my hair, and I can’t leave you alone
And I can’t breathe
You’re in the air, you’re choking me
Threatening to split me in two
Cut me in two
And you’re haunting me
Your love is taunting me
And I would let you break me in two
Break me in two
Whenever you need
And I don’t want to break for anybody new
I just want to break myself
Break for you
Two months clean and the best part of me still looks like you
Two months clean and I still can’t get out of...

Cruel Alchemy

What cruel alchemy is this?
I miss you, but I’m with him
I’m watching me touch his skin
I’m drawing the curtains
I’m hoping he didn’t hear
Me say your name in his ear
I’m watching me dim the lights
He’s gripping the covers tight
I’m holding you in my mind
I’m holding you in my mind
I feel you in every breath
My ear pressed against his chest
He can’t see what I desire
When I look into his eyes
I’m holding you in my mind
I’m holding you in my mind
And I’ll keep on searching for your love in a stranger’s eyes
And I’ll keep on searching for your love in a stranger’s smile
