lyrics

Everyone's famous
easy to feel uninvited and aimless
an animal in the lawn turned into a woman
wore an expression I couldn't pin down
Boredom is death as days are long arms
I want to wrap them
wrap them around you.

Here's how it starts
so many ways for us to fall apart
too many days spent waiting for not much
too many days on auto-pilot
and it almost makes more sense
to live in the past;
plenty more space and friends
and the jokes laugh back.
And I feel like a fly
stuck between window and blind
wanna live like this forever
in this photo album.

No you're not pathetic
-even your failures
they're all amazing.
What are the chances
what are the chances you get what you wanted?
Just let me hold you
this time I won't drop it.

Here's how it starts
so many ways for us to fall apart
too many days spent waiting for not much
too many days on auto pilot.
and it almost makes more sense to live in the past
plenty more space and friends
and the jokes laugh back
and the future's so bright
such a burning white light
wanna live like this forever
in this photo album.
