the long goodbye - Wakeful State

1. summer term

radio silence
for the next few days
for the last few days
i guess i never really missed you

is it worth it
to go after you?
is it true
that i'm just being used?

is it true
that when i see you
i'll spend my summer without you?

is it true
that when i see you
i'll spend my summer without you?

is it true
that after tuesday
i'm spending summer without you?

2. dances

you were so unlike
the dim light in my room
i'll never be enough for you

we slowly waltzed around
the meanings that you drew
from conversations overdue

the mourning bells will ring
at seven thirty five
i'm better off by your side

a concentrated blow
that eats you as you sleep
my fear is that it's not so deep

3. wherever

i wanna know wherever you are
i'm asking you to talk to me
i don't think it's too much to ask
a little more time
spent making enemies—when will it stop?

i just wanna be wherever you are
i wanna stand next to you
why is it that we fall apart
whenever you find
that you're a bit busy?

i want you to be here for me
wrapped up in your sheets
i know you need some time away from me

4. sunday morning worship

[instrumental]

5. back burner

i left your room last week
after putting you to sleep
and on my way to my car
a part of me knew your heart

the long drive to where we planned
you did not talk to me again
i told my family there
about your eyes and your wavy hair

that you'd mess up in your dreams
that were now void of me
we played the games we swore
we wouldn't play anymore

on our way back home
i couldn't wait to talk to you alone
the silence hit my hand
these islands that you would speak so bland

that i knew you didn't care
you're not like me
the sunburn on my back
is not for you to see

6. what you need

i cope with suicide notes
get off my back
i lack that bravery
that i desperately need
that i desperately need

i don't know what you need
i don't know what you need
i don't know what you need
too bad for me

7. sunday afternoon rainstorm

[instrumental]

8. my anxious girl

i know in the end i'll be fine
we'll meet, say our final goodbyes
i knew that this day would come
maybe i deserve someone...else

the fear of living a life
without someone at my side
i was never good enough
to be by my lonesome...self

i will miss you, my anxious girl
if i should leave then why does it still hurt?
i will miss you, my anxious girl
if i should leave then why does it still hurt?
i will miss you, my anxious girl
if i should leave then why does it still hurt?
i will miss you, my anxious girl
if i should leave then why does it still hurt?
