this twin size bed never felt so wide when i'm under the covers and you’re waiting outside someday soon we’ll be better for ourselves but right now there is something on my chest i'm trying hard to get it out i broke out your windshield just to send a message left you with a note that says “i'm sorry for the damage” tell all of your friends just how much you think i hurt you but i’m the only one with all these letters that i wrote you but never sent i hope you understand, are we cool now? (are we cool now) i hope you understand, are we cool now? (are we cool now)

somewhere out there, softly spoken there’s a boy in the dark and his hands are broken and he’s giving up he held too tight onto everything that he thought would change the world he’s in but it’s way too much and he’s not enough touch my neck and hold on tight just don't lose grip i’ll be alright ‘cause something out there calling; say my name give me one more reason why i should run away it's so much safer here, the shadows know my name and all my other options are not for your concern just know i love you and i hope this doesn't hurt (we know it will) he opens up these dusty boxes in the basement with his father’s name it’s all the same the genie’s lamp he holds so close but fears to open up that ghost again (the shadows grin) ‘cause who’s to say the luck will start to show the fear, the ever-blinding glow is growing closer the shadows moving slower “who says that I need you anymore?” he screams at no one in particular the room is filled with hospital equipment give me one more reason why i should follow suit the monsters in my closet all resemble parts of you and if this genie’s honest, i’ll give him one last shot but if he twists the truth again there will be something left to rot i'll trade my three wishes and i'll trade my three wishes and i'll trade my three wishes and i’ll trade my three wishes for a sink that’s full of dishes your old record collection and one more afternoon with you
