if tonight's getting too long
you can always go home
back to the wolves
see if i care at all
they've been waiting by your door
they wanna rip you to shreds
but you can stay by the speaker
watch me drink myself to death
i'll show you a trick
where i breathe in flames
set my tongue all on fire
and i'll burn my life down
and i never wanted to
tell all you've heard
but you gave me a word
so i'll write you a novel
now we play
'pass the playlist
back and forth'
we speak in song
clearer than
this clumsy speech
now you'll speak through the soundtrack
like you never learned to exist
a ghost better unloved
but i'll fix you up
and give you something you'll regret
you're dressed to the nines
and i'm armed to the teeth
sharp as a knife
but you're eager to leave
there's a lot on your mind
but nothing worthwhile to speak
so you can stand in my shadow
building venom in your throat
if tonight's getting too long
you can always go home
back to the wolves
see if i care at all
they've been waiting by your door
they wanna rip you to shreds
but you can stay by the speaker
watch me drink myself to death
now we play
'pass the playlist
back and forth'
we speak in song
clearer than
this clumsy speech
now you'll speak through the soundtrack
like you never learned to exist
a ghost better left unloved
but i'll fix you up
i'll give you something you'll regret
it's time to speak past the soundtrack
it's the end of the war
it's time to learn to exist
outside headphones and mixtapes
it's time to speak past the soundtrack
it's the end of the war
it's time to learn to exist
or i'll leave you to the wolves

breathe in, breathe out
I swear the walls were never crumbling
the comfort of the band
you know is just a symbol
it feels like forever
when you stay up at night
just to cross out the days
you keep holding your breath
for something already safe
in the palm of your hand
can you keep it together?
can you hold it in?
wait a minute, a year
you don't have to wait a lifetime
i know, i know, i know
your patience is gone, gone, gone
it feels like forever
when you stay up at night
just to cross out the days
you keep holding your breath
for something already safe
in the palm of your hand
can you keep it together?
can you hold it in now?
can you keep it together now?
watch the walls
watch your tongue
take an hour, watch a life pass on the screen
so anxious, hoping, one day, maybe, you could
catch the train
think it out
take a ride and take a while, don't you rush
before you break it down
it feels like forever
when you stay up at night
just to cross out the days
you keep holding your breath
for something already safe
in the palm of your hand
can you keep it together?
can you hold it in now?
can you keep it together now?
watch the walls, watch your tongue
catch the train, think it out

you're an art school-champ
your careful smile
covers the self-doubt
gold star on your cheek
ink stains your fingertips
that's how we know
you never take the safe bet
but you're still scared of the dark
still scared of what's gonna be
on the other side of your camera

stand tall now
atop a mountain of books
come get your new perspective
find an artist
find yourself a romantic
that's how we know
you never take the safe bet
but you're still scared of the dark
still scared of what's gonna be
on the other side of your camera
alexandra
you've got a pretty heart
and a pretty face
don't you know it
the coolest cats
they get a little lost
a girl in a sundress
a shark in a straw hat
whatever it is that you wanna be
just don't forget, don't forget
don't forget to be awesome
alexandra
you've got a pretty heart
plus a pretty face
don't you know it
the coolest cats
they get a little lost
