You're so seventeen
Hands on my neck and skin tight jeans
I want to die with you at the end of the world
You're so in between
What I want and what I need
I'm not sure what's good for me anymore
My dreams all speak in metaphors
Of love and sex and fear
You're always too far for me to reach
And I wish you were here
There are things we know and things we don't
Turned my ribs into a ladder to lift me out
It never got me anywhere
It never got me anywhere
When you called me just to say
"I'm drunk and I still don't love you
I'm drunk and I don't want you around"

(The sun comes up and I go back to bed
Turn off the tv, just watch me instead
I will make you the happiest you've ever been
Newspaper's open but you aren't reading it
I am laughing lying on the bedroom floor
I'm not scared of anything anymore
We're together laying on the sheets
The summer's leaving but I was sick of it)
