I'm writing myself down in the history books,
And there isnt't anything you can do to stop me.
When it all comes down to breaking promises
Or keeping hearts, I digress to a far away --
Let's begin with a faultering headache and a
Secret you kept long ago in a tree house.
You're backyard calls my name, and my bed
Lingers to the touch of your soft skin, powdered lips...:
[Chorus]
Coffee shops tell our story, and darkended eyes--
They tell what lies ahead of this wooden swing set.
Don't wait up(don't wait up), I'm not coming back to your open hand.
I'm needing a change of pace, a chance to run away
Into the stars, I will fall. You can't sing it right, and
I can't wait until this world falls hard onto the pavement.
Let me know when the impossible happens--
That's when you will be better than you claim.
The paint falls heavy on the canvas, and I'm shaking.
I try to walk you off, but the fireflies are whispering.
They talk of desire that I can't cope with any of it.
I whispers back, and I turn the corner with --
There you are in jeans, your t-shirt hardly fits your mood.
The grass is screaming mishaps, and your eyes are darting.
I won't let you break this mood, I won't let you get to me.
You grab my hand, and your soft powdered lips...:
[Chorus]
Coffee shops tell our story, and darkended eyes--
They tell what lies ahead of this wooden swing set.
Don't wait up(don't wait up), I'm not coming back to your open hand.
I'm needing a change of pace, a chance to run away
Into the stars, I will fall. You can't sing it right, and
I can't wait until this world falls hard onto the pavement.
Let me know when the impossible happens--
That's when you will be better than you claim.
[Bridge]
It's Friday night, and I'm here to stay.
Alone in the darkness, a tshirt on my fragile skin.
I'm making you sweat, and making you whisper.
You wonder what will happen next.
The fireflies are at it again, and you're a liar(such a liar).
I don't want you, I don't need you
[Chorus]
Coffee shops tell our story, and darkended eyes--
They tell what lies ahead of this wooden swing set.
Don't wait up(don't wait up), I'm not coming back to your open hand.
I'm needing a change of pace, a chance to run away
Into the stars, I will fall. You can't sing it right, and
I can't wait until this world falls hard onto the pavement.
Let me know when the impossible happens--
That's when you will be better than you claim.
That's when you will be better off with me.
