lyrics

It's nothing you've said but everything you've done.
I saw the headlights and I walked towards them
Maybe I am who they said I would be
There was a green lantern behind the hill,
Lighting the dead wheatgrass on fire
I am aflame, I am underwater, I am oceans away.
I hope you know who's going to catch you when you fall
But I am afraid to be alone in swimming pools
Afraid to look down at my toes above the cement
Maybe I'm not cut out for this
But when I was seventeen
I thought that a broken christmas ornament could save me
And I was still empty, still on fire, still longing.
I don't want to feel anyone else's hands but your own in mine
For now and for later on
Like turkey sandwiches at 11:00 pm on Thanksgiving
When the house is finally silent.
And I'll wear my prom dress again if I could rewind
And just give you what you wanted
But today is Thursday and Thursdays are no day for loving
It's nothing you've said but everything you've done.
And I am somewhere in the bottom of my closet
6 years of anxiety creeping through my tiny skull
And lying through the dark, waiting for a tornado
I can't remember what I ate for dinner.
It's nothing you've said but everything you've done.
