In A Ditch

just because i shouldn’t take it personally doesnt mean that i won’t
even with the best of love i’m falling on my face, muddy legs, in a ditch
i can’t sing right
i’m not the right size
i’m not that fun
i got mush for a mind
you’ve got other people and a life laid out for you. i’m not coming with
who cut each other loose? i know i’m better off. still i cried in the car
i can’t sleep right
my face is unkind
you were my fun
you were on my mind
dazzling billboards on the drive home
i visit your town but not for you
i almost mention it to my friends
it’s not important
little things go wrong and i collect them in my shirt for later
wanna dampen my own face and miss you violently
none of that’s real
or worth my time
but haven’t you heard?
i love to lose my mind
how many times can i start over?
the nervous grins eat at my guts
staring at the table for an hour
i should just leave my jacket on
how many times can i end it?
my heavy breaths hang in the air
poured out, gathering between the blankets
this never happened…

Holding My Breath

he pulls on my belt loop as if that could bring us even closer than we already are
my skin electric. i can't stop thinking. doomed to love boys who live an hour away
why did you sneak into my lungs? i forgot how to breathe, no fireworks but i still hear the sound
you never do stick around, you've got work, i get it
i'm not your maybe
we're too close baby, getting closer than we already are
your hands wander from my waist up the sleeves of my shirt
the way you hold on my face
could be nostalgic. but i'm blanking, no, this feels new.

i wear things that are a pleasure to remove
but you don't take my clothes off
an hour between us, i see you twice a month
you still don't take my clothes off
i might be an abomination
or you might not be worth my time
i'll drive, all you gotta do is hold my hand
even 23 i've got our next few months planned out
i'll drive, all you gotta do is hold my hand
your stain on my skin took hours to remove
it would seem i'm worse off
but work is worse, this is something to live for
have i earned your love yet?

Throwaway

how many other bedrooms will i wake up in?
since now we know that we are not forever
you say I'm "cool" and that should be enough for me
instead i'm counting down the days
and feeling like a throwaway
how many awkward pairings will i end up in?
even today i'm wishing i were back at home
get in the way of my own joy, i can't be fun
where's the twin to read my mind and understand?
you're the closest i could get right now
so i look at the wall until you ask me what's wrong
the words that drip from my mouth are from 2014
am i doomed or determined? i can be fun
instead i'm counting down the days
and feeling like a throwaway
instead i'm counting down the days
and feeling like a throwaway
instead i'm counting down the days
and feeling like a throwaway
