Smiles From Next Year

by Our Sunday Affairs

1.
Sleeper, look straight We gave you everything; you threw it all away We gave you everything; you threw it all away We gave you all of us; you threw it all away We gave you everything; you threw out everything
2.
Dig our holes a little deeper So the sun wont wake us up Stay asleep you little dreamer Trying not to mess this up We found out love's just a myth Far too perfect to exist Did you ever believe it Im kicking myself over this Pressing reset just in time Still regretting every line Faded pictures never taken Triangles I left misshapened Spending hours in your basement TV's sitting on my floor Phone calls left us wanting more I lent you a month away For your feelings to retreat Back to oceans, paper airplanes All I have is this ceiling covering my hanging head So sure its not romantic, but all we knew was static You could fucking go home with me Me and you could fall asleep Just close your eyes maybe we can Still exist in memory We can still be dreamers Hollowing our messy minds If we can learn to be sleepers Hoping love will come with time

My mind's full of minotaurs Chasing me down these narrow halls I am a civil war I'm an ink blot stain I'm days away From where we want to be Lying on my bed falling asleep Back at my place, suburban New Jersey We laid there like an open wound You commissioned to his wrist He couldn't handle when you said "I'm just not feeling this."

I know it's been a while since I've called I've just got so much to think about I wish things were still simple I wish I was still seven years old I hate to complain like this to you, but youre the only one who understands me anymore! You mean more than a bright name On a screen On a dark day Youre more than the voice in my pillow Catching me when I fall asleep You are just my dream Painted on a body You are my childhood Photographed late in August We weren't so worried we had a mental disease All that we cared about were the scrapes on our knees You are a constant You are a human being You are a Saturday spent with the family When I didnt hate my dad When I didnt hate my life When I didnt hate myself
5.
Ive been losing sleep We fell into the sea Your eyes were anchors Pulling us into the deep My eyes are feathers Maybe it's the weather I know I've felt better Remember that letter I came back for goodbyes And was greeted by "Jake I've got some bad news, She's seeing other guys" You were making new friends I was left with dead ends You are the sunrise My eternal sunshine And you Youve got your Your sunrise hair And atmosphere eyes I'm painting you on the inside of my Eyelids so I can watch you in my sleep I wouldnt do this if I didnt think that fighting for you would be worth it
6.
You and me We are everything And we are nothing We're a flutter in the breezes We're a change in the seasons It was meaningless to you And meaningless to me Boy, I wish this didnt have to mean so much to me. It's so cliche And we'll just fade away But isnt that all we ever wanted A simple cliche We will staple on smiles from next year I will hold in my arms but I wont care We will staple on smiles from next year And maybe I will care
