things could be easy
but you still make me nervous
we could be so cute & blue
but i still make you nervous
i don't wanna have you
i just wanna spend more time
sleeping in fields or whatever
you're so pretty
i wanna bring you flowers all the time

Kissing

I see you all the time
on Facebook and in my mind
I can't make it go away
we both know what we want
it's okay to be apart
a-p-a-r-t, you and me
we don't talk to each other
you don't live near me
i'm never waiting
we don't talk to each other
i woke up with you in my head
it wasn't you, it was a dream instead
we waved our hands in greeting
i didn't ask to dream all this
all we ever did was kiss
k-i-s-s-i-n-g, you and me in a tree

i get excited when i think of
all the different lives i could live
as long as there are mountains and dogs and babies
i know i'll be good
i think about the way i look at you and how it's changed
and it'll keep on changing but it's fine and it's okay
i won't always love you
i won't always see the stars the way i do now
or will i? i don't know

last night i saw you in my dream
they finally let us see what he'd seen
and right before you died
i saw you look at me and cry
you were shot and you spun around
and you fell to your knees with your hands up
you were shot and you fell to the ground
don't tell me what i feel is wrong
it's been months and it still hurts so hard
it never leaves my head
it'll never leave leave my head
you say that if they say it's right it's right
who told you not to question anything?
are they gonna kill us all?
cuz i think maybe they're gonna kill us all

you had so much time
everyone smiled at you
i couldn't see me
it was only you
i had to watch
nothing else to do
i was so bored
it was only you
and him and him and him and him
what are you gonna do about it?
you never had to live without it
what are you gonna do about?
probably nothing
so many guitars
so much noise
i hate it here
too many boys

we drive down the one
there's nothing like the sun
mountains fold, you fold around me
i want to forget all these things
but i don't want to
i like to think it was all bad
but that's not true
now we're on your roof
i can see the whole thing
i light a cigarette, lift up my skirt
and bruise my knees
i want to forget all these things
but i don't want to
i like to think it was all bad
but that's not true

I Wanna Be Real

i wanna be real
i wanna be a person
i wanna be real
make me real
not something you heard about
not something you read about
not something you dreamt about
i wanna be real
i wanna be a person with something to say
i wanna be real
make me real
it didn't have to be like this
i was doing fine until
you reminded me
that i am a woman and everyone else is a man
i wanna be real
i wanna be a person
i wanna be real
make me real
