Manhattan 03:28
Well I could walk to Manhattan Find you in the subway patterns Take a trip exactly in the shape of your upper thigh Would that be alright? Well I could smell your interest drifting Counting by the television Noticing my legs fell asleep and you closed your eyes Well I'll be alright And I don't know if you want anything to do with me But I'll keep on waiting, maybe sometime we could Sit in silence in your car And I guess I'm fine with a one-time peach pit on the mind But I'll keep on hoping maybe someday I could Fall asleep inside my head And I could make a record from the Lines in your palms and press it Play it every night on the speakers till I fall asleep I wish you'd talk to me I wonder 'bout your distant presence Taking all my best depressants I can feel you better in my bedroom than when you were here I'll be up by 3:00 And I don't know if you want anything to do with me But I'll keep on waiting, maybe sometime we could Sit in silence in your car And I guess I'm fine with a one-time peach pit on the mind But I'll keep on hoping maybe someday I could Fall asleep inside my head

I wanna be the boy Shoulders wide and proud Carrying all The expectations I've been told that I am rough A painful shake of hands But after all I've abdicated I am soft and evergreen And I have nothing left Between where I want to be And where I am now I wanna be the boy Draped in almond hands Surrounding all The ugly faces I wanna be the one Layed out in the sun Your hands in mine Sweet and patient I am soft and evergreen And I have nothing left Between where I want to be And where I am now

I'm not faking but I wish I was, Wish I was Cause every E.T. person's doing it just because Click back, I thought you were an Elliott, Elliot I guess the spaceship must have made its way to hell and back I'm kinda shaken but I'm standing still, Standing still You're kinda not okay, and has it always been like this? Isosceles triangles in my head, In my head The equilaterals, the circles, and the lines are dead If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at If he sounds like your lungs, he's broken and slightly unraveled But you can't look away, He's burning your eyes, and your senses If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at Steady now (x2) Pick your self up, it's not the others' fault You really should be using all the little things you bought I guess my standards of aesthetic grew, Thetic grew Seattle's murderers are making much more art than you It's almost like you think silence is a character trait Your alien signals are showing up a decade late I can count on one hand every single word that you wrote You're pretending to be all chilly up in that fur coat If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at If he sounds like your lungs, he's broken and slightly unraveled But you can't look away, He's burning your eyes, and your senses If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at What don't I see in me that I see in him? (x4) If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at If he sounds like your lungs, he's broken and slightly unraveled But you can't look away, He's burning your eyes, and your senses If he looks like the sun, Then that's why he's so hard to look at
