Should've Been A Wave

simulate me down
i wanna be a single line
plastic caps and raging whites
not unlike your salty eyes
i should've been a wave
swallow all my closest friends
but i'll never be your side chick
find a pattern in the wind direction
regulate me with a dose of mother's medicine
i should've been a wave
they never could've caught me that way
slipping in the wake
i should've been a wave
or maybe just a code line
enter me and drown
enter me and flatten me out

i was born the perfect son
i liked to fight, i liked to run
bloody nose and books on space
i tied my shoes all for you
oh mother, oh father
you and i, we aren't alike
you've got no time, i got your eyes
oh mother, oh father
so i will die the perfect son
i've got your eyes, you've got no one

Strawberry Peach

and who would wanna be with a girl like me anyway?
we didn't make it though we tried
but i bought a pack for you and me
and at least it seems for you and me i couldn't be anything
anything
but wrinkled sheets and the late afternoon trees
i am driving home now
to your parents' house
i spent a year into you, into you
and it's not exactly how my mother said that it should be
something sour
strawberry peach
come back to me
come back
to wrinkled sheets and the lake where you'd take me
i am coming back now

The Party

i wait for rain
to come and wash me clean
wash you off of me
i wait for spring
to come and turn me green
i wait, i wait
and i really hate you
even as i want you
but walking home alone when i leave that party stoned
i stop to wonder if you could've known
i let him in
when i was seventeen
and he was my first
some things will pass
but some things, they last and last
and i stay, i stay
so i really want you
even as i hurt you
and all the things i'd do just to keep from loving you
i'll do them all if you want me to
so i think i'm happy
abandoning your party
but stumbling back home with the streetlights all aglow
i stop to wonder if you could've known
that i could never hate you
even if i tried to
and everybody knows that this party's bout to close
but i just want you, yeah i just want you
i just want you to walk me home

Second Shape

you're not a bad person
just a selfish kind of person
and you were young when they fucked you over
its okay if you don't know how to be
cuz i don't know either
a whole person, i never thought i'd love one
but you were cherry soda and getting high
and you want somebody to get you by
a nice person
all the times that you saw me
all the ways that you saw me
all the promises you made
but you had a second shape
and it grew up while you kept me small
until i didn't know you anymore at all
i don't wanna love anyone
because loving somebody makes you nothing
i wish you'd stayed how you were back then
cuz i was happy when i wasn't crying
and you were sleeping next to me
now i'm a bad person
a selfish kind of person
cuz i love somebody who gets all of me
and i love her more than i loved you
