I met a girl who had a passion for history wished to explore the world and unlock every mystery instantly I noticed something about her something I didn’t know the name of so I called it love I met a girl who had a passion for trouble wished to explore the world, but she was not subtle and before I knew, she was taken from me I don’t understand, understand why I can’t hold her hand, hold her hand she was taken away, taken away I want her to stay, her to stay

My body is floating away into the starry space Losing oxygen I feel myself drifting, drifting, drifting I can see the earth I can see their judging faces, faces, faces My body is floating away into the starry space My conscience is fading away...

I'd be lying if I said I knew this would happen but I should have seen it coming. Thanks for caring about me, but you need to save yourselves because I cannot be helped. Remember me as I was: a good friend whom you loved. Remember me in your hearts. It's my bad end, but you can live on. Even if I had lived on there'd be nothing for me. Sorry but I'm not in this story. If you all are happy, then I am too, so please don't cry. You'll be okay if I die. Remember me as I was: a good friend whom you loved. Remember me in your hearts. It's my bad end, but you can live on. It's true that I'm scared... I won't let it show. It's true that I'm scared... I won't let it show. Remember me as I was: a good friend whom you loved. Remember me in your hearts. It's my bad end, but you can live on. Remember me as I was: a good friend whom you loved. Remember me in your hearts. It's my bad end, but you can live on.

It's been years since I've seen you I wonder how you're doing I know you're the type to pretend Nothing's wrong when it's still haunting And maybe this is not my job But I find myself worrying for you Ever since that day years ago You've never been able to accept the truth As you fake a smile, and you say those words "Everything is fine" or so I heard Searching for something never to be found And you don't seem like you can figure out He's gone forever; he's not coming back As much as you search, you know that's a fact Hoping someday you'll meet, hoping someday you'll find Your love lost at sea, see him one more time Knowing you, you won't give up Though the facts are staring you in the face Knowing you, you'll just push onward Running to the past in a backwards chase And maybe this is not my job But I find myself worrying for you Ever since that day years ago You've never been able to accept the truth As you fake a smile, and you say those words "Everything is fine" or so I heard Searching for something never to be found And you don't seem like you can figure out He's gone forever; he's not coming back As much as you search, you know that's a fact Hoping someday you'll meet, hoping someday you'll find Your love lost at sea, see him one more time And the last time That I saw you You went to sea What could you do? Maybe I should Have stopped you then If I had, you Wouldn't be dead As I fake a smile, and I say those words "Everything is fine" or so they heard Searching for something never to be found And I don't think that I can figure out You're gone forever; you're not coming back As much as I search, I know that's a fact Hoping someday I'll meet, hoping someday I'll find My love lost at sea, see her one more time

my change purse is full of paper you threw at me if you do your work I'll do mine can't fall behind I couldn't see the spaces in the unplowed parking lot slipped on ice trying to reach you hello, new bruise can I tell you a secret? it's about those papers... they came together and made something of interest to me I think it’s a map that leads to treasure! will you please join me on this epic journey? hey, what do you mean those are just someone’s geography notes? doing this was pretty hard so I’m forcing you to go it says we need to go to the roof above the chem lab I’m sure that me and you can make it there super fast! oh, there’s nothing here all I have to my name is a button and twelve pennies won't be down cuz I don't have much now just you watch nothing will ever get me down I won't give up the fight if you tell me you'll support me I can't be beat! can I tell you a secret? it's about those pennies... as it turns out they all were steel 1944s they are super rare and valuable! let’s sell them all off and buy lots of stuff hey, what do you mean those are just regular old pennies? now you have broken my heart so please buy me some ice cream I think that we should search for an adventure every day even if we have to form some white lies along the way

i don’t know how to get words out right none of it makes sense to me i kinda wish that you were a cat then this would feel more easy cats are beautiful and cats are soft a little shrouded in mystery too even still you’re outside my expertise so could you tell me what to do? cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool if i showed you a lot of cat pictures would that be enough to convey my feelings could you understand my cryptic language made up of cat cosplay and cats sleeping it feels strange. this hasn’t happened before i feel the same, towards cats and towards you inside it’s all confusing and conflicting somehow i’ll have to figure out what to do cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool cats are cool you’re cool too

everyone deserves to love the way they love I wish nobody had to be unhappy I want to make the world safe for everyone I want to let everyone live peacefully but if everyone else knew for sure would I be treated differently would they want to see me anymore telling the truth’s terrifying but this life I’m living isn’t real and it feels wrong to hide away it feels right to express how I feel I’m bad at hiding anyway I’ll tell you a secret just between you and me it turns out you aren’t alone despite what you believed let’s share ourselves with the world and open our hearts we exist you’re not alone you’re fine the way you are I said some big stuff but it’s still difficult to do what I say and reveal my true self so for now let’s share ourselves with each other and when we’re ready we’ll do it together but if everyone else knew for sure would we be treated differently would they want to see us anymore telling the truth’s terrifying but this life I’m living isn’t real and it feels wrong to hide away it feels right to express how I feel I’m bad at hiding anyway I’ll tell you a secret just between you and me it turns out you aren’t alone despite what you believed let’s share ourselves with the world and open our hearts we exist you’re not alone you’re fine the way you are

Cotton candy colored sunset Cotton candy colored sunset I see a bright star to the left Jupiter or Venus or I don’t know It’s getting a bit darker I’m getting a bit loster I’ll follow signs for Worcester Oh wait this is Northboro Now it’s really late I want to cry Where is this place And where am I? It’s not alright No bars on my phone And broken headlights I just wanna find a home
