i’ve spent some time chasing the fallen and left behind but in the ground a hollow imprint is all i found and i got a new impression i got a new impression of you you left a new impression you had a cold grip on me as i followed you through the stars i couldn’t see past the broken lights still hoping for a spark and i got a new impression of you with that old look in your eyes you put out your last cigarette in the dark spot in the sky you said “make a wish” the smell bad me sick and let down, down, down and i got a new impression i got a new impression of you you left a new impression i’ve got no vision from staring too long at the sun i’d believe in all the empty words spoken but not meant for anyone i got a new impression of you now that my head’s out of the clouds but i still feel as empty as i did while digging in the ground the first thing you said to me was the last thing i’d ever hear you said “don’t the stars just look so clear?” and i swore this time i’d be fine

i need another bond to break but i don’t need the time or space to know you left a feeling i just couldn’t replace i got lost in my mind searching for a true feeling so i can leave all this shit behind but it’s not time to relieve all my big regrets caught in another web of strings but i don’t need the time to think about all the trouble that it brings and i won’t be fine until i can lose something that i could at least once call mine but it’s not time to relieve all my big regrets i need another bond to break but i don’t need the time or space to know you left a feeling i just couldn’t replace

enough to know the body parts you know ‘em well enough to know them enough to know the body parts you knew me well enough to know them but i jumped quick from the bridge that burned with you to the cold icy water because i’d never seen that shade of blue before i caught up and now i can’t forget and it’s no secret enough to know the body parts you know ‘em well enough to know them enough to know the body parts you knew me well enough to know them i caught on when i heard a second splash and you left me naked i thought i’d already seen that shade of red body language misread and now i can’t forget and it’s no secret you’re gonna spit ‘em out you’re gonna spit ‘em all out every body part out we always spit ‘em out with the first taste of doubt wait til you figure out that we’d rather swim alone

i’m losing my mind caught in cables all the time with all these pretty lights shining in my room i’m entangled in answers and everything is exactly as it seems how long have i been dreaming? just can’t stare at my ceiling can’t get this out of my head just picture that warm feeling when i sit alone in my bed just another distraction can’t rely on the blinding white parade that briefly entertains me of course, lovers only want the moon the only thieves in the room just can’t stare at my ceiling can’t get this out of my head just picture that warm feeling when i sit alone in my bed staring off at different lights well you left the tv on when you went to sleep substitute for some company familiar voices let you sleep yeah well that tv screen just lit up your face all the dreams you wouldn’t chase oh but that blue glow it’s just love in a dream and it watches you sleep until you wake up all alone with the fuzz
