Take me to the picture show,
I wanna go back in time.
Take me back to your bed,
I wanna know that you're mine.
And take me to meet your mom,
I'll pretend we're not the same.
And take me up to your old room,
The place before you knew my name.
I've got these scary thoughts,
Coupled with bad desires,
I've got a bomb for a heart,
I just need you to cut the wires
Lay me down, gently baby
So I can feel our hearts slow down
Break me down, in pieces honey
Let this love divide the town.
Take me to the rooftop,
So I can see the city laid bare
Take me to some secret spot,
Pretend that I'm the first one there
I've got these scary thoughts,
Coupled with bad desires,
I've got a bomb for a heart,
I just need you to cut the wires
Our destruction was mutual
Assured by every look
At the end, in all the rubble
Was it worth the trouble that it took?
Take me to the quiet spots
Where I can hear my own thoughts
Take me to the edge of town,
Where I'll finally know what you want
I've got these scary thoughts,
Coupled with bad desires,
I've got a bomb for a heart,
I just need you to cut the wires

Sweetheart, why can't we sleep?
Sweetie pie, why do these thoughts keep
Draggin' me down,
Hanging around?
Darling, don't they know
That I want them to go?
I'm trying to sleep, here
I don't have time for these tears
Honey bunch, get off of my case
Honey bear, get outta my face
I need to be alone,
Tryin' to feel like I'm at home
Baby doll, can't you see?
The world wants me to be
Better than I am now
But god, I don't really know how

When your heart's an open wound,
My lips will be a band aid.
I'll just hold you safe and close,
Till the bad thoughts start to fade.
You know I'm always there
To help you get back up,
And you'll appreciate my time,
But you'll never call it love
I just love a fixer upper,
Someone that needs my help,
So baby, let me love you
Since I cannot love myself
I'll fix you, make you better,
For the next girl that you kiss,
Who you think will love you better,
Than you thought I ever did.
And I'll try hard to forget you
Like I know you'll forget me,
And you'll always have to wonder
Why I'm always so angry
I just love a fixer upper,
Someone that needs my help,
So baby, let me love you
Since I cannot love myself
You never liked me anyway
You just thought that I was sweet
Because I'm the least dateable girl
You're ever gonna meet
But I'll fix you, make you better
For the next girl that you kiss
Who you think will love you better
Than you thought I ever did
I just love a fixer upper,
Someone that needs my help,
So baby, let me love you
Since I cannot love myself

I'm flying too close to the sun
My wings ain't what they used to be
Dirty, tattered, and falling apart
These ghosts just wreck their havoc on me
Never deserved those eyes of yours
Or the way they focused just on me
Never deserved that smile of yours
The one nobody ever sees, ever sees
But I kept you near anyway
Used every trick just to make you stay
I'm flying too close to the sun
My wings ain't what they used to be
Dirty, tattered, and falling apart
These ghosts just wreck their havoc on me
Who did I think I was kidding
Thinking I was good enough for you?
A long line of friends who never believed me
They knew you were too good to be true
But I held on, hope against hope,
Burnt our skin with this fraying rope
I'm flying too close to the sun
My wings ain't what they used to be
Dirty, tattered, and falling apart
These ghosts just wreck their havoc on me
One of us reached, the other settled,
We know the truth of who is who
You were out of my universe
A beautiful sun darkened by my moon
I'll revolve around you till I explode
It's the only death I wanna know
I'm flying too close to the sun
My wings ain't what they used to be
Dirty, tattered, and falling apart
These ghosts just wreck their havoc on me

And maybe you were always Persephone
Belonging to my world only
In winter, in fall, when
The dead overtake the living
But during Spring and Summer
When the world is lush and
Full of life like you
I will mean nothing until
The earth is barren again
And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more
Is this how I should feel forever,
Hades in a silent kingdom,
Ears pricked for the sound of you?
Days pass so quick above ground
Melting like snocones and makeup
While I wait an eternity
To see your face again.
And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more
Oh, sweet summer child
The smell before rain, the crown of flowers,
Braided with love and thoughtlessness
Will my love for you finally run dry
Will the sliver of hope I keep alive
Finally die?
And my skin will be as red
And blistered as a child
By summer's end as I pluck
At the band around it every time
I think of you in your winter coat
Returning to my depths once more
Will you return, darling?
Will you descend once more?
Take the last of my warmth
It was always yours

Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you but I cry instead
I want your warmth, but it will only make me colder when it's over
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore
If I need you, I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down, no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now, I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore
If I need you, I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore
If I need you, I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you

I am but a torch singer in an indie chick's body. One day, I will learn to play guitar better. Until then, I guess everyone is just stuck with my poetic lyrics and full voice
