lyrics

at eight o’ clock in the evening
i had started dreaming
playing bejeweled
i thought that i should get
cleaned up for bed
by four a.m. i was screaming
crying out my demons
that all looked like you
and every one of them
shaking their head
i’m coming back from a down day
but the down day was a week and a half
it got so i didn’t wanna come back
but anchors weigh like your porch light
that i used to leave on
‘cause i’d forget
i miss being yours
like i miss that

so everything is normal
like when your dad is kissing you
saying “i know what girls like you like from me”
everything is normal
like when your mirror isn’t you
but just some guy you been pretending to be

i talked myself into believing
you would have a reason
for us to be through
that surely you would help
me understand
that nobody would just be leaving
there’d be some agreement
about what we’d do
if it wasn’t gonna be us
‘til the end
i’m coming back from a down day
but the down day was a year and a half
ago and i still feel it like it’s right now
‘cause i been stuck inside your moonlight
crying ‘bout your room like
“why aren’t we there?”
i miss being yours
like i miss that

so everything is normal
like when your home gets torn in two
but time keeps passing like you don’t need a thing
everything is normal
like when your kids aren’t missing you
‘cause they’ve been told you’re something broken and mean

so everything is normal
like when your dad is kissing you
saying “i know what girls like you like from me”
everything is normal
like when your kids aren’t missing you
‘cause they’ve been told you’re something broken and mean
broken and mean
mean
broken and mean
broken and mean
