Orange Blossoms

Somebody buy me roses
Somebody make sure I get out of bed today
Somebody be my baby
Somebody see that I don't get in my own way
Somebody hold my head up
Somebody hope that I don't give up, not this time
Somebody check my email
Somebody just give me the damn highlights

I don't wanna be here
How am I supposed to be healed?
I don't wanna be here
Staring at the wall again

Somebody hold me hostage
Somebody make me think I might be worth something
Somebody take a photo
Somehow I know I won't be remembering
Somebody be my angel
Somebody change the angle I see all the time
Somebody fast forward
Somebody just give me the damn highlights

I don't wanna be here
How am I supposed to be healed?
Everybody goes home
And the way there is not clear
I don't wanna be here

I don't wanna be here
How am I supposed to be healed?
Everybody grows up
And leaves me in the tower

Drinking from the bottle
Knowing what it does to me
Seeing every color
Sliding into shadow

While I can, I will carry my own bags
And I will call my father when I know that he's alone
And I will plant a plot of yellow flowers
They'll be a sign to whichever one of us survives
And when I see the ghost of orange blossoms in the snow
I'll know it was you, and I'm coming soon
