a shark bit your thigh
while you were fishing
it took a pound of your flesh
you didn't know
what to do but sink
shark chews and spits out
alcohol makes meat stale
you wake up in a basement
with one of your clients
there is blood on your chair
and in a knife in his hand
and it was not a nightmare

remi's a grown boy now
still not tall but wide-eyed oh
he tried to find comfort in
a girl who didn't love him
and it's still not summer
remi is paranoid
thinks too much and says a lot
how i made it with her
one night in barcelona
and it's still not summer

I used to know you when you were young and feeling healthy
people would laugh at you when you laughed alone
teachers would scold you and your parents would lock you down
you were never meant to be alone
trying hard to find a way to make it all worth living
you were never meant to be understood
feeling so sick trying hard to find ways to deal with this shit
you were never meant to be alone
i used to know you when you were down and feeling empty
you would drink on your own at night in your room
you started taking pills to make it all a bit more blurry
you were never meant to be alone
trying hard to find a way to make it all worth living
you were never meant to be understood
feeling so sick trying hard to find ways to deal with this shit
you were never meant to be alone

you're sitting in this dark room
full of computers
trying to beat the next level
you used to have girlfriends
you're wearing a white t-shirt
a program found your data back
porn you erased too fast
your body is growing fat
some things do last
you're wearing a white t-shirt

Be Home for Christmas
02:45
|

|
You're staring silent at the snow on the ground
thinking of his smile
when he told you that he liked you too
14 years ago
and now he's gone
and you still think that you are the one
and that he is the one for you
thursday morning
one day til christmas
the children running mad
all the presents are wrapped in black
and you hold tight
and you wish for one thing
you clench your fists
let him be home for christmas this year

Will You Be Here for Me

I'll think of you always
as a boy
who would hold me tight
when I spent weeks away hiding from my dad
will you be here for me?
do you remember how we dreamed of a life that would just be ?
do you remember the night we kissed?
when he beats because i'm just a girl
will you be here for me?

"shut up" he said when he heard you depict all of his shortcomings
he already knew that he wouldn't feel better with anyone else
"sorry" you said when you realized that you were hurt and upset
you already knew that you wouldn't feel less alone with anyone else
your hard legs long
your hard legs long for a soothing feeling

i drive into town
i drive him by
he's walking the dog and he waves "hi"
i walk in the house
she says "hi"
i ask her how they're doing
and she says "bad"
he is staring through the window
he is smiling

you like it better when he's near
you like his smell
you like his beard
you like the way he talks at night
the things he says the things he likes
another time, next year
he likes your eyes and your white legs
he says he loves you
i've seen him with his old friend
they looked like really close friends
another time, next year
--

sleep tight little sister
he'll be here when you wake up
watching you
he may be difficult at times
he doesn't talk much
but he cares about you
