"complex (live with strings)"
I'm twenty-one
The edge is razor thin
Between being numb and feeling everything
Good days only serve as relief again
Now I'm watching as I waste away my days
And then
It's a cross dissolve
It's a scene I've played before
And the leading role that I thought I'd hold
Doesn't listen to me anymore
But I'm wearing his boxers, I'm being a good wife
We won't be together, but maybe the next life
I need him like water, he lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom, he turns off the big light
I'm being a cool girl, I'm keeping it so tight
I carry him home while my friends have a good night
I need him like water, he thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feeling human, I think he's a good guy
But it's complex
It's a complex
Triangular, I can see them now
Three points at which I let myself down
I was just a girl, what's the excuse now?
Too regular, this pattern
I've been taking shelter in reaching new highs
When I was nineteen, I wanted to die
Now I just want to kill you
But I don't want to paint you the victim
And I talk a good game
I'd die for just the promise you'd listen
But I'm wearing his boxers, I'm being a good wife
We won't be together, but maybe the next life
I need him like water, he lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom, he turns off the big light
I'm being a cool girl, I'm keeping it so tight
I carry him home while my friends have a good night
I need him like water, he thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feeling human, I think he's a good guy
But it's complex
It's a complex
It's a complex
I'm the complex

You'd bury me someday
All the big plans that I planted
While you planned your own escape

Just assumed I was your...
Snail Mail - "Light Blue" First time I met you I knew then
That after words there'd be
No in between
We can sail the ocean blue
Or just fly down, you know
How I love you
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Nothing's gonna stop me...

One more superpower I've outgrown

I'm going to hit on the coach
I saw Jesus Christ in a bookstore
He looked burdened with all that belief...

Talking to me, 1969
And things that people glorify are fucked up
Free love, free drugs
