the moon shines bright like it's all i ever wanted
but it's you that i'm missing in the night when it's calling
and i wish that i could tell you
everything i'm thinking right now
the stars sparkle as i wish upon the brightest one
will you see me tomorrow?
or will you walk on right by?
will you walk on right by me?

all i want is a reason to get to know you late
and for you i gave away all the notes that i saved
i'm over everything that's happened
i need a break
every missing piece is found when i'm with you
i wish you could know the things i went through to get here
but i want to be here with you

i see venus with my eyes and pluto with my mind
it's right in front of you
how are you that blind?
i wish that i could tell you
everything i'm feeling right now

all i want is a reason to get to know you late
i'm a little bit nervous but it'll be okay
and anxiety is spiraling
i need a break
i wish every missing piece was found when i'm with you
but i'm still left feeling empty from things that break through
i risked everything i had to be here
i need a break

my heart is on the floor
i'm thinking that i'm all alone, i'm sure
my heart is on the floor
it's all alone, i'm sure

i'm starting to get tired of waiting for you
to say anything at all
doesn't that mean you don't feel anything
like i do when i walk past you in the hall
why am i still holding on
why am i still waiting
i just want to know you
is it wrong to want to
in the meantime the pieces of my heart are separating

i'm starting to get lonely at night when i sleep
i think of all the ways to get you to look at me
i'm too shy
that's a lie. i just don't want a repeat
of september sixteenth
i can't cry
my feelings don't want to say goodbye to you

i'm starting to get bored of life itself
if i ran away i think it'd be better for myself
i can't cry
i won't lie
i just don't think i'm capable of whatever life tries
to give me, to make me
i just don't think we're meant to be
if you're not right here

you have the power to break me
even when i'm running around
if i said so, would you believe me?
even if i tried to tell you i don't know how?

there's a complicated history
with people who don't care
in my dreams you're leaving
at least you see me there

oh, i just know
when i look you up and down
and see that smile behind your frown
what i know
is that you'll never feel the same
so will you be my next mistake?

you have the power to heal me
even when you're not trying
if i came in crying, you'd turn around and look
and just your stare would stop me instantly

so i just know
when you don't wanna talk
but you look as you walk
what i know
is that you don't feel the same
but will you be my next mistake?

i can't help
but i'm falling, give or take
i know you're my next mistake

i need a breath of fresh air
i need a break to compare
i need some time to figure out why i'm wasting it
when it's going nowhere

i don't even know who you are
i just look at you from afar
so why can't i let go
of everything that's happening in my mind
while my heart is on fire

why am i so against falling out
when we aren't even close?
why am i going crazy just thinking of
the possibilities

i need a moment to breathe
to stop and let my heart see
what i'm not sure is messing with my feelings now
does it know what it wants?

you don't even know who i am
yet i fear there's something i can't
if i tried to explain, nothing would come out of it 'cause
my heart is too tired

why am i so against falling out
when i don't know what to say?
it's like
it's so impossible to wait for a piece of fate

why am i rooting for falling out
when i know nothing's gonna change
it seems so useless to wait for a piece of fate

but i have time to break
and we have time to wait
i need a breath of fresh air
i need a break to compare
i need some time to figure out why i'm wasting it
but it could go somewhere

you're only a distraction
your face has no reaction
when your hair flips back
and your shoes click-clack
my mouth isn't wide open
you're not perfect in my eyes
you're flawed
i have everything i want to have it all

maybe i am trying to convince myself
it's something else
and i don't want to know you
maybe i'm right, the other half of me is fine
when you're not here, i'm effortlessly calm

i'm not even attracted
my heart is never acting up
i just wanna know how many walks it takes
to get your eyes to break
my jaw isn't stuck open
you're not perfect in my eyes
you're flawed
it takes everything in me
not to want it all

maybe she is trying to convince herself
it's something else
and she doesn't want to know you
maybe she's right
the other half of her is fine
when you're not here she's
effortlessly calm

i bet we've met but you just don't remember
dreaming of you and i alone
don't you wait forever to say hello
chances are i probably feel the same

you don't hold back trying to make it subtle
hopeless but carefree on my mind
don't you wait forever to say goodbye?
there's something that i think that you should know

my breath is facing every obstacle it can
something about you makes it stop

in moments i'm breathless
as you walk through the door
but you don't say these things
they're what i wish
