Paper Universe

I want to hide away.
I don't want to face the rising sun.
I don't believe in fate.
But I do believe I can't breathe without you.
I'll make a paper universe for me and you.
So we don't have to deal with this real life or being used.
And if you leave I'll set it on fire and watch it burn.
And close my eyes so I always remember how I let this go.
How could I let this go?
I want to hide my face.
But I want to have yours all around me.
I don't believe it's fate.
But I do believe I've made my mind up.
I'll make a paper universe for me and you.
So we don't have to deal with this real life or being used.
And if you want I'll light it on fire and watch it burn.
And close my eyes so I'll always remember how you let this go.
How did you let this go?
I'll close my eyes and hold on tight to a dream.
I'll close my eyes and hold on tight to our dream.
I'll close my eyes and hold on tight to this dream.
I made a paper universe for me and you.
So we didn't have to deal with this real life or being used.
And when you left I set it on fire and watched it burn.
And closed my eyes so I'll always remember how you let this go.
How can I let this go?

Bikes

It's Monday and I don't want to wake up.
Then I think of your face,
And I'm suddenly standing up.
And I just wanna ride bikes with you.
And I just wanna ride bikes with you
On a sunny day;
On a clear highway.
It's always those little things you do,
That pull me through this bullshit life.
And the little things you say,
That define my everydays.
And if I were to write a novel of our life,
No one would buy it but I'd still read it every night.
And I just wanna ride bikes with you.
And I just wanna ride bikes with you.
On a rainy day;
On the park track-lanes.
On a cloudy night;
Counting car headlights.
On a country road;
The stars lighting up our sky.

Natural Selection

I evolved for you.
And I adapted to your every need.
Every gene expressed by me functions just to make your life a dream.
I'd breathe for you if I could.
Make your heartbeat feel good.
Make the days not so long.
Prove our love is still strong.
Natural selection chose our bodies and mind with perfection.
No intelligent design.
But with a grace not even God could define.
I'd breathe for you if I could.
Make your heartbeat feel good.
Make the days not so long.
Prove our love is still strong.
I'd breathe for you if I could.
Make your heartbeat feel good.
Make the days not feel long.
Prove that love will always be strong.

5 A.M.
Eyes wide open again.
And the moon is looking at me like a dog I haven't fed in weeks.
My mind keeps playing tricks on me.
It thinks you're there then I reach out my hand and get air.
Don't you fucking let go.
I still need you so close.
Don't you fucking stop talking me to sleep.
It helps me dream.
Hey, I know it's been awhile.
But can I please ask you something?
Why don't you take one fucking second out of your life to tell why you're still keeping this up.
When you tell me you feel so empty.
I don't even have anything to feel empty anymore.
Don't you fucking let go.
I still need you so close.
Don't you fucking stop talking me to sleep;
Reviving my dreams.
Can I please tell you a secret?
Last night I had a dream.
We were sitting in your parking lot
You looked and said to me:
"I'm so fucking sorry.
I take back all this shit I did to you over the years.
But right now all I want to do is take your hand and run away;
Take the fucking fastest plane to France.
So if you could please forgive me and look into my eyes
And tell me you still fucking love me..."
And then I woke up to my sheets covered in ice.
But I could swear you were the moonlight in my eyes.

Europa

We should fly straight the moon,
But one that orbits Jupiter.
There we'll see some falling stars,
And other lights from afar.
And if I whisper I love you
And you can't hear because there's vacuum
Know it's said and really meant
Before I wake up from this dream.

Lyrics and music written by "Gregory And The Hawk"
If you be my star, I'll be your sky.
You can hide underneath me and come out at night,
When I turn jet black and you show off your light.
I live to let you shine.
I live to let you shine.
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy,
Far from here where there's more room to fly.
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.
If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea.
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity.
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by the breeze.
I live to make you free.
I live to make you free.
But you can set sail to the west if you want to.
And past the horizon till I can't even see you.
Far from here where the beaches are wide.
Just leave me your wake to remember you by.
If you be my star, I'll be your sky.
You can hide underneath me and come out at night,
When I turn jet black and you show off your light.
I live to let you shine.
I live to let you shine.
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy,
Far from here with more room to fly.
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.
Stardust to remember you by.

Take baby steps towards me
With your hands stretched out reaching,
But never get to my chest.
You confess you've been hiding what you feel.
But I noticed through your speech patterns,
The lack of calls and not staying home
That you've been falling out of love slowly with me.
And this is how it goes in nightmares.
I keep running to you but you're never there.
So I sit and toss myself into the ocean to
Remember dancing to the glow of your eyes and the moon.
And take baby steps towards me
With my eyes closed tight reaching,
But never get to my chest.
You confess that I am not what you desire.
But you noticed through my speech patterns
The late night calls and crying sighs
That I'm still in love
With you
But I always will take care of you.

Cold Sheets
04:11
|
|

|
Under these cold sheets finding energy to breathe
Counting each second that passes.
It's already morning.
I'm seeing the sunlight through tight eyes with soft sighs.
Hide me from this world.
I don't belong anymore.
And save me from these mornings.
Under these cold sheets,
Needing nothing but a breath to warm me.
And my sleep patterns change when you don't call,
Or when you won't say anything at all.
Hide me from this world.
I don't belong anymore.
And save me from these mornings.
Throw me off the face of this Earth.
I don't wanna breathe anymore
To save me from cold sheets and mornings.

Sleep Patterns
12:28
|
|

I never thought you could watch time until now.
I never thought you'd feel brain cells die until now.
But you are a waste of my time and memory.
So don't think for a second I'd waste either of those on you.
People change. So get the fuck over it.
Love fades or was never there, so realize it.
Or you'll be unhappy like I was sinking into that bed with you.
It's tough that you only live once but that's more reason to.
Don't make an excuse this time.
You did this to yourself.
You did this to yourself.
You do this to yourself.
You tell me that your sleep patterns change every night.
Don't even try to fucking blame me for that.
Because I only ever did or do what's best for me but not for you.
You can call me selfish but I call it logic.
So fucking stop making me say things I don't mean.
I'll still smoke my cigarettes. I'd say I love you if I meant it.
I'm sorry that I don't need you every night anymore.
But I promise it'll be the same for you over time.
Don't make an excuse this time.
You did this to yourself.
You did this to yourself.
You do this to yourself.
Go write your fucking songs about me.
Go fucking cry because you miss me.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't need you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't miss you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't love you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I can sleep without you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't need you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't miss you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I don't love you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I can sleep without you.
[You did this to yourself. You do this to yourself.]
I'm sorry that it's the truth I'll always need you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth I'll always miss you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth I'll always love you.
I'm sorry that it's the truth that I can't sleep without you.
[I did this to myself. I do this to myself.]
