lyrics

you showed up in my dreams again
the same way that you have been
when i think about what happened
too much
it always ends up the same
you start facing away
then you turn, i see your face
then i wake up
and you're young again
back when we first became friends

a bat flew in my room again
i'm not used to frantic flapping
though it's the third time that it's happened
tonight
but it's never been done before
nothing's crawled under my door
i dropped down to the floor
as it took flight
and i'm searching for meaning in everything
so i'm calling it a sign

but what does this mean?
what can i make this mean?
i'm looking in
i'm separating every piece
but what does this mean?
what does this need to mean?
i'm looking around
this blinding light is locked on me

so why's this what i want?
why's this what i always want?
why is this what occupies my mind
when there's nothing going on?
i watched as this feeling grew
and hoped that no one knew
but hints slowly trickled out
little words slipped through my mouth
careful poems written hoping no one asked
what they were about
it's hard to keep it in
when it won't stop clawing

and i think of the last time i saw you
and i think of what a text could do
cause i think of the "see you soon"
that never came true
so our memories live on halfway
but they live on just the same
you've touched more lives than you would think
so why would i be different

today i realized that i don't wanna die anymore
