Fractions

Emery

one and three, you're here

(one and three, you're here

to tell me we can't do this)



to tell me we can't do this

(three for three, i'll disagree)



anymore



your hair and face against the mirror

as i take the steps to save what's left of me

someone's out when it's over



people steal from you

and they take anything they choose



it's good to see you

i missed you last night

that's such a lovely color

it goes with your eyes

but we fall asleep

i just wanted to say

this all seems so easy

but there's choices to make



can't decide, then look at the faces

candlelight

we're burning the pages

but ask us why

and hurting ourselves with this false start

resign yourself

and always be (and we pretend)

without the one (it simply gets easier)

thing you need (but it doesn't get easier)

reading words with no replies



when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye



i wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disassembled and i

keep losing this fight



i won't

answer



dancing on this all i go

no one in the city knows

confidence can take you

nerves try to shake you

from going all the way



it's not that far



it's good to see you

i missed you last night

that's such a lovely color

it goes with your eyes

before we fall asleep

just wanted to say

this all seems so easy

there's choices to make



we watch the tide roll in

with cold air and coffeecake

holding our words at list

stopping the sounds they make

we know the way to go

we know each step to take

to be here



these words with no replies

stopping we's and starting i's

this need is killing me

and taking me over



i wanted to mean everything to you

but this isn't right

you keep coming back disas
