you showed me something else to do
you're angry? yeah i'm angry too
you laid down ideas and then i followed through
you wanted something more of me
showed me things i couldn't see
and as i grew my vision of you grew with me
yeah as i grew, it grew with me
toxic to the parts of me
i didn't ask for and didn't need
the rust on top of rogue agency
you weren't a way out of anything
you were just a way of seeing
i was thrown harshly into an empty room
and it was not enough
you were the window facing out
punk was first love
yeah i fought my way out
punk was first love
my arms are still tied down
but my heart's awakened now
and i got strong

girl, how long you been tripping over your feet like that?
she said "ever since I was younger."
she said she's always had weak ankles
but then how's she walk like thunder?
i found it to be endearing so
that's exactly what i told her
next date: small talk in the hospital
broken hand and separated shoulder
she's so clumsy yeah she fell
off her bike
into the bathroom
in love
out of the car
she's got a way of falling into things
but i still got there first

Me, Here?

i have myself now
slow down
this is when i need to tell myself
things i'll need to know
when it's dark and i just can't see
all the logic i see now
all the things that i found out
i know what i'll need to hear
it's like i'm always in between
places i can never be
you know it's kinda true
how you can never really know
a place until you leave
but what about me here?

the first time we talked about it was like "here we are, i'm sorry for you too."
we kept the same routine up, by the second time
we were both beside our minds
looking in, "man we gotta change."
we're not as young as i think we'd need to be for me to say "I think we'll beat this thing."
and so our story ends
the same as it began
but we can say we tried
if it fits into what we need to think to get by
go in / get out alone
we can say we tried

you turn a new leaf
like i turn nightly
your body moves through it
but your mind does nothing
what if the body is the first thing
and the rest comes after
it all sounds so familiar
and i hate that sound
tell stories of your sister
and your father's stalker
the plays that you're in
these are good distractions
but that favorite dance you showed me
perfectly captured all the calculated grace
that goes into this
social balletic movement
this sequence is new to you
you can't expect it to seem real yet
there are motions to keep going through
until they're real
a subtle change in her make up
a need to let the tempo slow
i picked up another meaning
a statement of self-control
as she switched the foot she's leading with
each time she barely left the ground
she was moving at the speed she needed to
to complete each task
and all the elements harmonized
social balletic movement
