photographs make you look good

i wish you could see your face when i tell you
it's just another thing wasted on you

remember when you had potential?
remember when the sun shone for you?
remember when it weasn't something you coudln't handle?
remember when i used to love you too?

you were teh stars in the sky,
shining bright,
lighting my way back home
but time's been cruel
now you're dim and dull,
and nothing more is coming from you

remember when you first told me?
remember when it wasn't mine?
remember how you hoped it looked like me?
remember the remorse in your eyes
the day that part of you died?

it's been years and years and years
and you only come back here when your ears need to be filled
beacuse all he can do is drain all the fluids from you
and you can't blame a firl for sticking to...
can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows

and oh, what's she know? and oh, what's she know?

the secret

it's that time of year again,
where we see eachother's eyes and pretend
we're gonna fly away, just you and me
grab your things because your feet are leaving the ground

and i'm thinking of the things we could be
just so long as we don't float too far away
thinking of you holding on to me
the way i've always held the things you'd say
can you see me at all?
can you see me at all?

if i try hard enough i can see
the way you smile when you're waving at me
holding out your hand to erase this ghost town
i swear i'll never, never let you down

and i'm thinking of the things we could be
just so long as we don't float too far away
thinking of you holding on to me
the way i've always held the things you'd say
can you see me at all?
can you see me at all?

I'll fly you to the stars
We'll swim in the big dipper and we'll camp somewhere on mars
if you promise, if you swear that you'll be mine
i'll dive into the sky with you
we'll swim in ursa major and watch the stars fly by
we'll fly to black holes and you'll
paint them blue with your eyes

I'll fly you anywhere you want to be and
show you what you've been missing
Let me take you by the hand,
ask you what's in your big plans
then i'll tell you mine
they're all in your hands
