a lonely boy meets me (a girl who is angry at the world)

you’ve got bubblegum stuck to your face
two hands in your pockets
looking up at the moon looking back at you
i think i wanna see what the sky does
something untouched, glistening and waiting
waiting to be found 

you showed me flowers in bloom and big eyes
i showed you scabs and a crooked smile
so we found something between creek rocks on summer nights
at the end of winding roads
in the maze of suburbia
in the silence that didn’t need to be filled
you walked into my palm and curled up
and i didn’t really mind
underneath my ugly guts you only saw a pearl

so i’m your number one
something sweet on our lips
you said i’m all that you see
standing there with your arms open

maybe this is too much for me
more than it should be
cause you don’t know the weight of my heart
i want you but i don’t think you’re ready for me

(but you still come back)

on my birthday there were tulips on the doormat
a pile of sugar and a spoon
maybe i knew you were more than you should be
but i’ve never been able to resist something sweet
and i still think you’re so cool
so look down and tell me i’m worth it
wrap yourself back around my finger
dark eyes with your arms over me
cause i know all you see is me

hold me close to the radiator
i know you’ll keep me warm
even if it means your teeth get cold
standing outside i know what you dream of

the storm hangs over your head
walking tough letting the cars breeze by
at the end of the road all you see is me
i said baby i’m sorry this is more than it should be
and i know swore i wouldn’t do it to you
but i left you waiting at that bus stop
