Lyrics

Please fall asleep, so I can take pictures of you and hang them in my room
 So when I wake up I'll be like, "Yeah, everything's alright"
 You are still here, you are still happy
 You are still smiling and laughing
 You are still the only thing and everything I need in my life
 And it goes in, in, out through the mouth
 Breathing exercises I will never figure out
 'Til I am running in circles
 Or walking in circles (I am)
 Or crawling in circles (I am)
 Or lying on the ground
 ♪
 And I can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom
 Yeah, yeah
 And I can see a flashlight cutting up the trees behind my house (I can see a flashlight)
 Yeah, yeah
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 ♪
 She says a lot of the kids we graduated with are now homeless
 Which puts them in mad shady situations with mad shady people
 If not every day, then on an every-other-day basis
 And she's probably with a few of them right now
 And they are probably just drinking and talking about
 How she misses getting fucked up and hanging around
 And he says, "Hey, you're good at that"
 And she says, "Thanks, it's kind of all I got"
 And then she looks away and says, "It's also all I need"
 And I can smell plastic burning
 I can smell chemicals breaking down
 I got your last three emails, the ones where you said
 "I was sorting some things out"
 ♪
 And he will be able to hear her dog whistle from his bedroom
 Yeah, yeah
 And I can see a flashlight cutting up the trees behind my house (I can see a flashlight)
 Yeah, yeah
 And I will read the flashing like a morse code explanation
 That will mean nothing, but take all night to figure out, out, out
 ♪
 When I am sad, I am sad (please fall asleep, so I can take pictures)
 But when I am happy, oh, God, I'm happy (of you and hang them in my room)
 And there's just no place in between for us to meet (so when I wake up, be like, "Yeah, everything's alright")
 When I am sad, I am sad (you are still here, you are still happy)
 But when I am happy, oh, God, I'm happy (you are still smiling and laughing)
 And there's just no place in between for us to meet (you are still the only thing and everything I need in my life)
 When I am sad, oh, God, I'm sad (please fall asleep, so I can take pictures of you)
 But when I'm happy, I am happy (and hang them in my room)
 And there's just no place in between for us to meet (so when I wake up, be like, "Yeah, everything's alright")
 When I am sad, oh, God, I'm sad (you are still here, you are still happy)
 But when I'm happy, I am happy (you are still smiling and laughing)
 And there's just no place in between for us to meet (you are still the only thing and everything I need in my life)
 (Sad)
