lyrics

I'll roll out the carpet
If you get in the cockpit
And fly into the forest
To see if you'd notice

The pieces of me
That have been missing for weeks
You're wearing my heart
Like it's jewelry

And that's fine with me.

In fact I prefer it
You've given me courage
To feel what I want
Even if I am wrong

And I don't want to hurt this
But it's about being honest
And if I speak truthfully
I think that maybe you might see

So listen to me

'Cause the best thing to do
Is what I'm about to
I'm taking the wheel to steer
Keep my love with you
Find something that defines you.
There is nothing to fear

So please my dear,
Just get out of here.

I'm just a ship
That is anchored to shore
I'm the edge of a cliff
I'm a goddamn closed door

And you are a girl
With the world in your hands
Slap fate hard across the face
If you could write your own plans

So if you feel sad
For that love you mistook
On the same page doesn't work
If we're in different books

Remember that
I am just a lie.


Time has a knack for making
Bad things look good
And everything you say
Will be misunderstood

Dusk brought the tears for letting life pass you by
Put your drinks up for cheers,
This is last call tonight

And don't shed a tear,
Just get out of here.

Now I'm drunk as hell
With this pen in my hand
And it doesn't even matter

That I wrote this song
Just to feel at home
My self-pitying interpretation

Because the hardest part
Of being alone
Is that there's no one there
To notice.

And now you're gone
I'm left lingering on
And all I have is this song

So let me disappear,
Just get out of here.
