am i the surfaces that catch you when you fall?

i'm talking 'bout my closest friend
she's lending me a helping hand
she pays my fines
always on my mind
anxious in our newfound town
telling me to settle down
and quit the shakes
ease me out of my mistakes
it's when you say
you know me better
you tell me that you've had a day
camel blues and cabernet
to cool us down
i've got your sweatshirt on
walking under neon lights
until i meet your bed at night
you hold me close
you make me feel the most
i love you so
you know me better

when underdone, we would look the other way
and now, we keep quiet, rushing through our days
throwing stones across silver lakes
ten years from now, i could settle down and say
that it was fine not to mind much anyway
overjoyed for the time being
and it was wrong times in right places
there's songwriting and blind chases
rolling the bones off from my hand to take the exit once again
it takes a lot to look around and up and leave
comes off as rough, no matter what, you'll make a scene
and "how you been" will be the only words you greet
i'll be cremated, you a cadaver
and 'til we get there, it doesn't really matter
oh, apathy, misanthropy, i owe a lot
and it's been right times in wrong places
time flies for the long faces
if i could settle down the subtleties and stop you going off
somewhere else, i could stomach all the heartache
somewhere else, i could stomach all the heartache

i stare at your pictures for hours on end
we stay out late, deciding our friends
and i don't know how, but i made up the ground
i just woke up here and i've still not ever been found
i'm still making noise through all my mistakes
my parents around, so you know that their lives are at stake
and i'm hurting myself
i'm just pulling away today
and i'll sleep it off in the hospital bed
and take all the pills so i can see the end
it's not goodbye forever
it's just "where you been?"

i just want to lay down here with you and do nothing more
i've had enough, we've got so much in common
i don't stand a chance, you're taking my heart again
i don't stand a chance, you're making things hard again
you say fate will bring us together, but i'm not buying it
i can't keep drinking to dull out the feeling that i can't get from you
i don't stand a chance, you're taking my heart again
i don't stand a chance, you're making things hard again
i don't stand a chance, you're taking my heart again
i don't stand a chance
i don't stand a chance, you're making things hard again
i don't stand a chance

i've been a nervous wreck all damn day for no real reason
if i could help it, best believe i would
and i'm medicated now, but still laying in the shower and sleeping
and lying to myself that something's gonna happen again
i had too much, i was laying on your porch on the weekend
and freaking out again, begging for me to come in
we were sitting up in bed, i was doing all i could to be open
to be vulnerable with you
but i can't do it
i can't do it
i can't do it
i can't do it

i should've burned the house down
when i heard you were around
and i gathered all the paintings
and burned it down
i still see your headlights
but it's never you
and i'm painting all these pictures
in a motel room
you should be hated here
you should be hated here
you should be hated here
you should be hated here
