Longer That I'm Out Here

The longer that I'm out here the better you sound

You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing ground

I don't wanna forget so I'm writing it downHave you ever, no, never, never

I find that hard to believe

So let's burn the furniture

To see how angry a fire could make meNow you say that there's someone

That you need to reconnect with

Some scarecrow from high school

That you loved but never slept with

A baby with a pipe dream playing hopscotch

On your bandagesAnd I'm singing all his songs while I sleep on your couch

I'm coughing up a lung but I'm covering my mouth

And I paint you on the wall, yellow, red, green and brown

I miss you all the time but I'm blocking it outAre you better, no, never, never

What does that say about me?

Now let's break the smoke alarm

To see how scared locked windows will make meNow you say there's a stranger

Staring sideways in a deep freeze

A loner draped in ivy

Playing slumlord in his city dream, oh oh

A faker with an art form pulling magic tricks

On the weak girls up his sleeveAnd I'm choking right along with the words in my throat

I'm falling back in love with the letter you wrote

And I think that I was wrong but I guess I don't know

I figure that I'll wait until you tell me soThe longer that I'm out here the better you sound

You're scrunching up your face in this picture I found

And I'm chasing after you, steadily losing groundI miss you all the time but I'm blocking it out

And the longer that I'm out here

The longer that I'm out here

The longer that I'm out here

The longer that I'm out here the better you sound
