there's a city where I always feel heartbroken
there's a river where I feel it lifted off my shoulders
I don't know if it's just coincidence or if it's magic
my friend called it a sinkhole and in someways I believe him
and he said you could feel like it was built on sand
and I stood on the shore and I felt like it was all the same again
there's a highway where I feel like I'm exploding
anticipating getting here or if I'm leaving where I'm going
I always crack my knuckles nervously and squint
into the wind that shakes whatever machine I'm traveling in
and he said you could feel like it was built on sand
and I slept in the grass and I felt like it was all the same again
there are monstrous things in every real emotion
but the monsters we create avoiding them are always more explosive
I'll shed one tear some time in this next week
to try and keep them coming gradually not just building in me
and sometimes it feels like it was built on sand
and sometimes it feels I have to start it all from scratch again
and those weightless moments when I feel how young I am are the times that I get really f****** scared
just don't want anymore friends to die after loosing touch not knowing I would be there if I could
but I get so bad at writing letters and I always lose my phone
what f****** awful excuses I'll try harder to call you but if I don't and you just hear this song
know I love you I miss you the things that you make give me shivers
and I feel honored to have been so close to you
we will always get broken and sometimes I get scared
we'll forget we deserve better than whatever is currently being shoved in our faces
we will always discover that we built it on sand
and it'll crumble underneath us and we'll have to start again
