just another lonely day don’t know quite how to say that i miss you and it hurts if it were easy i’d have said the words by now and if it were easy i’d have it figured out but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head i’m thinking too much, i can’t shut my brain up if it were easy i’d have told you this by now wish i’d wake up from the sun through your drapes and open my eyes to see your pretty face i’d count all of your freckles, make plans with the devil would you come with me and live by the sea we’ll plant flowers and dance, we’ll water the plants and we’ll never feel alone if it were easy i’d have said the words by now and if you could see me i’d have it figured out but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head i’m thinking too much, i can’t shut my brain up if it were easy i’d have told you this by now why can’t it be easy i’m lonely all the time please make it easy why can’t i be fine but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head god this isn’t fair, when awake is a nightmare if it were easy i’d have talked to you by now if it were easy i’d have talked to you

lyrics give me a tarot reading in your bedroom and maybe after we can watch a film, or lie up on the roof, with the stars and the moon and maybe then we could put on a record and dance around the room in your arms and listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat sometimes i’m scared to fall asleep but when i’m with you, my lavender blue when i’m with you let’s sneak out, 2 am skate out for miles stop at the dairy, shit’s getting pretty scary fuck around in the aisles i’ll buy you your favourite candy if you will hold my hand when i’m afraid swear to god i can be brave i will, i will, i can — i’ll do it for you dance around the kitchen in our shirts and we’ll forget that we’ve ever felt hurt hotwire an old car, and get the fuck outta here i don’t care where, i just wanna be with you my lavender blue my lavender blue can we pretend that we're the only two alive (my lavender blue) can we just leave and drive away into the night (my lavender blue) can we pretend that we're the only two alive (my lavender blue) can we just leave and drive away into the night (my lavender blue) skate around the town at 2 am let’s move to the seaside and never feel lonely again hotwire an old car, and get the fuck outta here i don’t care where, i just wanna be with you my lavender blue my lavender blue give me a tarot reading in your bedroom and maybe after we could watch a film

i’m so sorry i’m so sorry i’m so sorry i really love you, really love you i really love you i’m so lonely i’m so lonely i’m so lonely, and i’m only fifteen, fuck that i’ll just forget everything between sixteen, and tell me when to talk to you i’ll bring flowers, i’ll bring some glue and we’ll stick back what has been broken i’ll just learn to be outspoken and i guess this is the end when you told me to let you go, but i don’t want to, i don’t think so i don’t want to let you go (i don’t want to) i don’t want to

la la la la la la la la la la la la la i lie crying in bed ’cause i hear what you said echo in my morbid mind and i know i spend way too much of my time thinking ’bout the way your lips felt on mine la la la la la la la la la la la la la they don’t tell you how it hurts to fall in love they just let you feel it all until it’s way too much and i burst into tears when i get off the bus but somehow it never really is enough (it never really is enough) la la la la la la la la la la la la la and all i see is the way you smiled at me in chemistry, when you told me you were fond of me and i lay down on your thighs and watched the rainbows in your eyes i think my problem is i reminisce about the past i will things to stay as they are but nothing lasts and i’m scared ’cause time is passing way too fuckin’ fast and once it’s gone, you can never ever get it back and no-one else seems to care or really understand they’re just getting through the year and they’re making plans and people seem so excited for the future but i just sit at home and feel like a loser and i’m on the verge of sixteen (sixteen) feeling like i’m barely even fifteen (fifteen) and i feel too much, and not enough i’m not enough for the people i love and i try so hard to be someone that you will love i cut my hair and changed my clothes and still i feel like no-one knows me (ooh, ooh, ooh) i kinda have this fantasy that we stargaze in a cemetery and we sit on a gravestone and smoke and talk about how it feels to grow up and the music we love, and why it means so much and how we feel like we will never truly be enough and i’ll tell you my fear of dying and what’s the point in trying but i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for them and i’ll do it for her, and i’ll do it for him (what’s the point in trying) and i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for me and i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for you but they need me, so i will stay right here tell me if you need me and i’ll be right there and we could skip this town, and get the next ride out and i swear i could be happy fuck the rest, i’m not coming back la la la la la la la la (i’m not coming back) la la la la la (i’m not coming back) la la la la la la la la (i’m not coming back) la la la la la (i’m not coming back)

baby, do you wanna commit arson with me and we’ll burn down a building and run and I’ll drag you along, and the night is so long so let’s steal a shopping cart and fuck around till the sun comes up, and i wanna kiss you so bad but i don’t wanna come off too strong so I’ll wait till i can and we could watch the stars and pretend that we aren’t so far from the rest of the world, and fuck them all hmm, hmm, hmm my dear, i know you’re scared of being alone, so i’ll hold you close and let you go when you need me to and i hope that i’m enough for you i feel the loneliness as poignantly as it persists and i love it, but i hate it i just wanna feel it all and we drive away from this town on a summer’s night with the windows down and 'loveland’s playing softly through the speakers and you realise you love her when you leave her you realise you love her when you leave her baby, do you wanna commit arson with me and we’ll burn down a building and run and I’ll drag you along, and the night is so long so let’s steal a shopping cart and fuck around till the sun comes up, and i wanna kiss you so bad but i didn’t and now i wish that i had and we could watch the stars and pretend that we aren't who we are as we lie in the dark, and fuck them all baby, do you wanna commit arson with me baby, do you wanna commit arson baby, do you wanna commit arson with me
