it's time you let me kiss that whisper on your lip
that only i would notice
'cause i'm really going to leave
i have to, i don't want to
it's not like i can call you whenever i need to
and it's finally sinking in
but it's cool, i hope we can stay friends
at least you've got me singing again
and i watched you hold your own hand,
and i've wished that it was mine on our train rides
and i can't be happy all the time
now all i do is frighten you
i count my steps and hold my breath whenever i walk home alone
wrap me up in rain and lightning
i guess it struck you that i'm not striking
i lie and lie and lie and try to smile
'cause you still make me smile
you and i are the selfish kind
you know i'm off to the edge of the earth
but it's not like i can call you whenever i want to
