Fractions

One and three, you're here

(one and three, you're here

to tell me we can't do this)

to tell me we can't do this

(three for three, I'll disagree)

anymore

your hair and face against the mirror

as i take the steps to save what's left of me

someone's out when it's over

people steal from you

and they take anything they choose

it's good to see you

i missed you last night

that's such a lovely color

it goes with your eyes

before we fall asleep

i just wanted to say

this all seems so easy

but there's choices to make

can't decide, then look at the faces

candlelight

we're burning the pages

but ask us why

and hurting ourselves with this false start

resign yourself

and always be (and we pretend)

without the one (as if it gets easier)

thing you need (but does it get easier?)

reading words with no replies

when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye

i wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disassembled and i

keep losing this fight

i won't

answer

dancing under starlight glow

no one in the city knows

confidence can take you

nerves try to shake you

from going all the way

it's not that far

it's good to see you

i missed you last night

that's such a lovely color

it goes with your eyes

before we fall asleep

just wanted to say

this all seems so easy

there's choices to make

we watch the tide roll in

with cold air and coffee cakes

holding our words at lips

stopping the sounds they make

we know the way to go

we know each step to take

to be here

these words with no replies

stopping we's and starting I's

this need is killing me

and taking me over

i wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disassembled and i

keep losing this fight
