Pave these streets with open arms
It's always you we've waited on
The skin, the taste, the drug, the need
I'm asking, telling, you don't need
Erase the lines that we have drawn
It's always you we've waited on
And waited on, and waited on, and on, and on, and on, and on
These are our words
We feel these miles
But all the letters on the alphabet
Could never spell it out
These palms and brains
That we tear through
To cling to something that is bigger
Than the felon tips at you
Wait, wait, wait
I don't wanna see
Wait, wait, wait
I am not surprised
The person anyone would want to be
The perfect shoes with matching clothes
It is the lie we're always told
And nothing masks the shallow touch
Like saying words that cost so much
While you're an addict to the need
To find yourself a way to breathe
The ***, the courage, the pain, the look
To replace feelings that we're torn
These are our words
We feel these miles
But all the letters on the alphabet
Could never spell it out
These palms and brains
That we tear through
To cling to something that is bigger
Than the felon tips at you
Perfection
It's perfection
But never quite enough
To break you down
And never could disguise
The drugs to make it stay
The wanting in your eyes
The money that you spent
But you're still an accident
We are more than words that
Fill our mouths
Drink with us
That tell us the answers that we need
These are our words
That fill these mouths
But all the letters on the alphabet
Could never spell it out
These poems that strive
That we tear
To cling to something
That is bigger than the
Felt attempts at you
Wait, wait, wait
I don't wanna see
Wait, wait, wait
I am not the person
Anyone would want to be
Waiting here until you leave
Wait, wait, wait
I am not the person
