Why you sittin’ down I like standing Offer your company and walk with me You light up the whole scene With your vision You were made from a grand mystery Open up your lips Let words tumble I hang on every syllable and ending Are you trippin’ out Like I’m still up now I like the way the acid makes the sea Breath I’ve got this pain in my chest Might be from fear of regret Might be from drinkin’ too much Howlin’ at the moon Might be from being far from you "Polly" played like magic Soundscape to our day I watched you with a pencil Etch out the song name I lost you in a crowd of Zombies I freaked out On the metro back home You told me it would be okay

Hey I like that black dress With the paisley pattern It makes me feel like I can do nothin’ Better than you And I Debated how much money it would take To get me back home to my family North of LA Look I got a tattoo Of a book I read What a fucking troupe What a fucking joke it is To be nothing new And you said “I’m not a pixie dream girl I’m only manic Just give yourself a few weeks To get used to that” It gets harder the more that you take The more you see double The more that you shake I’m on the outside of all mistakes Nobody says I miss you here today All these labels Probably think my songs are shit They’re like an ashtray equivalent To a sculptor’s grand project We’re a self-deprecating generation You said “I like when your voice gets high” It gets harder the more that you take The more you see double The more that you shake I’m on the outside of all mistakes Nobody says I miss you here today I bet you look lovely on the underground I was sleeping next to somebody else When it was my turn to take the train You were in the arms of an old flame

Lavender mixed with cigarettes Windows covered in blankets Waitin’ on you to come down I was sober Waitin’ to be employed You told me LA’s changed Since you met me It’s lost a shade of gray I love all the grit and grime Of the city at night We stayed in my car to finish "Disney Girls (1957)" I cursed the technology of the time that prevented That song from lasting longer I stared at two dots and a smile Someone drew on your left shoe I felt envy towards the people who knew you then I’m on the outside looking in On the drive home I thought of where you’re sleeping It tore me up inside Are these feelings simply fleeting? Like I’m a visitor Passing through your life

Can you feel it? Closing in Do you believe in love in first and second glances? I couldn’t keep my neck From craning towards you Are you lost? In all this shit Does the sea bring you back for a bit? It’s the name that your mother Blessed on a crying you I don’t know much Hell I know nothing You stuffed me in a box and said that it’s for something You’re saving my love For a later date I ain’t ever seen a thing so sweet As your tears falling down your cheeks Somewhere beside me We stood on the corner of Sunset and Highland In Hollywood where all of our friends had resided Coming down from acid you spit fire at me And said, “I am telling you my thoughts as they happen I don’t want to break your heart I just don’t know how to keep mine from splittin’ apart”
