Fractions
Emery
One and three, you're here
(One and three, you're here to tell me we can't do this)
To tell me we can't do this
(Three for three, I'll disagree)
Anymore
Your hair and face against the mirror
As I take the steps to save what's left of me
Someone's out when it's over
People steal from you
To take anything they choose
It's good to see you (I missed you last night)
That's such a lovely color (It goes with your eyes)
Before we fall asleep (I just wanted to say)
This all seems so easy
But there's choices to make
Can't decide, then look at the faces (Candlelight)
We're burning the pages (But ask us why)
And hurting ourselves with this false start
(Resign yourself and always be)
And we pretend
(Without the one)
It simply gets easier
(Thing you need)
But it doesn't get easier
(Reading words with no replies)
When we have these mornings where we can say goodbye
I wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fight
I won't (I won't)
Answer (Answer)
Dancing under starlight glow
No one in the city knows
Confidence can take you
Nerves try to shake you
From going all the way
It's not that far
It's good to see you (I missed you last night)
That's such a lovely color (It goes with your eyes)
Before we fall asleep (Just wanted to say)
This all seems so easy
There's choices to make
We watch the tide roll in
With cold air and coffeecake
Holding our words at list
Stopping the sounds they make
We know the way to go
We know each step to take
To be here
These words with no replies
Stopping we's and starting I's
This need is killing me
And taking me over
I wanted to mean everything to you
But this isn't right
You keep coming back disassembled and I
Keep losing this fight
