Kira (Skyler's Skeleton)

I’m driving home Thinking about every line you ever wrote Sometimes it gets to be too much When won’t I need this crutch? What if my shoe slips under the break Or the fog on the glass puts my life at risk? I’ll never find the words to say Or have the chance to rip up this page Run up the stairs turn on the light and amp What I feel and what I say never overlap I’m trying to live out the perfect backstory So I can describe our love like Morrissey One more dance tonight One more line to write One more dark cartoon One more tablespoon (Deep within my room One more tablespoon Tell me it’s alright And I’ll turn off the lights.) The more I think about calming down The more I think about trying to sleep Realize I cannot stop this train My thoughts are more than what you dream But you know I don’t have a clue So I’ll just take all of this as true And so I thank you for the help Read a chapter, then put it back on the shelf I think I think too much I think you’re wearing blush I think I stole that line I know I stole that line And you know I think that’s fine Come to me in a dream Tell me what you mean I’m jealous you believe Sometimes I wish that I’d met you 14 years before Your parents at the store, and me at your front door Though I can’t drive, I realize when my feelings are ignored It’s always true But I’d feel like shit for you The lights pressed up against the wall Bleed on the white that lines the hall There you stand, your eyes ablaze Reflect the fire that blocks my way What’s a knife without a sheath? A lighthouse built to be beneath The sand that stands for me to form Glass that hides you from the storm Sometimes I wish that I’d met you 14 years before Your parents at the store, and me at your front door Though I can’t drive, I realize when my feelings are ignored It’s always true
