"You're still young"
Said the lady walking bye
I don't know how that's advice
She said "live it as you like"

Plastic tongues
All the liars wait in line
It'll take a little time,
But it's easier to die

I'm so dumb
Cause I've been camped outside
Think I've waited here for years
And those years have passed me by

I cleaned out my ashtray
And those cigarettes
With your lipstick on 'em
I doused my bed with gasses
There's money in the mattress
Already lit the matches
I love you
If only you loved me too

I would write you letters
I wrote 'em all in pen
So the words wouldn't erase
I guess a lighter works instead
Your dad said "thanks for dinner, but don't come back again"

And since then
You stopped counting
The notches on your bedframe
One, maybe two nights
Love, maybe someday
Two, maybe three names
You scratched one out
And said you hated remembering

Taking shrooms twice a week
Every week
"It's for therapy"
I'm seeing things
More than I do usually
Mirages of love in a movie
You take off your clothes so slowly

Kiss your neck when you ridin' on me
Don't you wish it was real
When you're falling asleep?
Bite your tongue when you lovin' on me
Don't you wish it was real
When you're falling asleep?
I wish we met, but only in dreams

I cleaned out my ashtray
And those cigarettes
With your lipstick on 'em
I doused my bed with gasses
There's money in the mattress
Already lit the matches
I love you
If only you loved me too
