the early bird call eulogies, we listened with our red eyes and sang along
conducting useless lullabies through teardrops dripping salt on our tongues
i've broken all my promises just to get your gaze to follow mine
i'm a stranger like the rain upon your doorstep while you sleep
if i could only braid my fantasies the way you play with words
and make me dance in circles in a bedroom by myself
you swallow shooting stars to make your heart stop
strew the floor with dolls and dreamers, living down by sycamore street
at night we hear the crickets chirp as the rug burn bites our thoughts and knees
well i've broken all my promises just to linger by your moody phrases
you don't know i memorize the lines that run around your fingers
i bought a crystal ball to wander future lands but i tripped over
and cut myself on the past when you told me you were in too deep
you swallow shooting stars to make your heart stop
i don't know if i can live another day in your warped imagination
but i've been laying here so long my muscles paralyzed and now
my bones just want to crumble with you as you swallow stars thinking it's new
